If It Wasn’t For All The Stripping

February 24, 2020March 20, 2020 / iamlauriem / 1 Comment

From time to time you recall all the good things about being single and childfree. They are numerous. Especially on the days you climb the stairs - complete with hot water bottle because you have a head start on bedtime and you are intent on making the most of it, yes, that is my life … Continue reading If It Wasn’t For All The Stripping

Getting The Hang Of This

September 12, 2018September 12, 2018 / iamlauriem / 1 Comment

I've just had a long conversation with Ranger Rob (aka, my four-year old in full method-acting character mode) and I'm losing my mind.  These two things aren't necessarily linked either - Rob is just a bit-player in the drama that is my disintegrating brain.  This isn't the worst it's been and I know it will come … Continue reading Getting The Hang Of This

As Long As We’re Out, Together

How's your date life?  Lacking in excitement?  Last on the list after 'use a night cream consistently' and 'do more crafty-type-stuff with the kids'?  If you're not nodding enthusiastically, frankly, I don't want to hear from you.  You will only make me feel inadequate and elderly and my husband may want to swap us.  Or, … Continue reading As Long As We’re Out, Together

I heard a letter being read aloud on the radio.  It was from a listener, a stay-at-home father of two, who had recently been told by his wife that she wanted a marriage separation.  Between the politely penned lines you could sense the terror this man is going through.  He noted how he had given … Continue reading How Can You Legislate For Love Lost?

Common Goals, Differing Approaches

November 4, 2016November 16, 2016 / iamlauriem / 11 Comments

What used to be frequent occurrences and a mere addition to an already teeming social calendar, are fast becoming infrequent treats which guarantee some child-free, stylish, adult fun with your other half.  And fun is important!  The baby years are busy and all-consuming but they are fleeting and when the chicks fly the coup, I … Continue reading Common Goals, Differing Approaches
