Parent Stories
...Where it's okay to share our joys and our tears.
Parenting can be a huge leveller. Maybe like nothing else you've ever experienced before.
​
It doesn't matter how cool you are, how clever you are or how much money you've got; if you're not interesting, you're three year old will just walk off when you're speaking.
​
Ray Romano on having children: "Having children is like living in a frat house - nobody sleeps, everything's broken & there's a lot of throwing up."
Parenting can make you howl with laughter when a child says something that's cute, or if they make a comical mistake due to their innocence. It can really bring out the best of us.
Yet at other times we may just feel like howling. Parenting can be overwhelming, bewildering or just plain exhausting. It's 24/7, 52 weeks a year, for life... And we pay for the privilege.
I thought that because all of us parents are muddling through trying to do our best with what we've got, a sense of humour is a great asset to have.
These are some of the stories I've had shared with me. And in typical writer's form, I don't let the truth spoil a good story.
Let's share the joy, the sadness and the triumph.
