I know from different experiences, that when you have children it can sometimes be difficult to remain a team with your partner. If you haven’t discussed it beforehand, you could find that you have very different ideas of how you want to bring your children up or you may find …
When I got pregnant, I think a small part of me assumed that I end up with this amazing circle of friends. We’d all be mums and take our kids to do stuff together, but we’d also do stuff without them. I don’t have a huge group of friends, and …
My brain works in such a mysterious way sometimes, that it’ll just throw little brain teasers at me every now and then. One that I’ve recently had is ‘is there a right time to start a family?’. Which got me thinking. I’d always known I wanted kids, and that I …
