Howdy! I’m pleased to be joining the group of e-mothers online and hoping to avoid being lynched or disowned for at least a month or two.
My (also English) husband and I having successfully procreated the world’s cutest Wallace, I’m singularly qualified to blog on the bringing up of my child in my home in my particular circumstance. However, I will also be happy to blog on situations or topics that I have little or no experience with and go on and on about them in my vociferous and insistent opinions.
I have my personal blog, Speckblog and I’ve posted emphatically there on such parenting issues as External Cephalic Versions, Fertile vs. Infertile, Kids and Drugs, Talking Smack About Your Family, How to Make Babyfood, Breast is Best, and Crying it Out among others. As you can see, I wasn’t kidding about the “opinionated” part.
The truth is, dear reader, that I love a good debate, as long as it’s about the issue being discussed and not about the people involved. I hope to fill emothersonline with my particular sort of post and I certainly hope you’ll hop on board and give me your opinions or information in return. Let’s have some fun!
1) What’s the best advice you received on motherhood?
That each kid is likely to tell you the best way to parent them. There’s no such thing as the right way or the wrong way as long as you’re an active and concerned mum or dad.
2) What do you love best about being a mother?
Everything. I love every single thing about being a mom. I’ve waited for it all my life and I’ve never experienced anything more fantastic. Even when it’s making me nuts. I’m one of those people who always wanted kids and if I could afford it I’d have 12 and adopt and birth an equal number of them. I love being a mom.
3) Name one mommy-gadget/tool that you love.
The dishwashable high-chair trays. Thank God for dishwashable high-chair trays, is all I can say.
