Can we all spare a thought today for all the kids around the world being made to brush their teeth even though they ‘already did it yesterday’?

one of the wildest societal shifts happening right now is that marriage has always been optional for men, and now it’s also optional for women. and some people are ✨upset✨about this.

Looking forward to Liberal Democrats conference debate on the CMS tomorrow. We contributed to the conference motion and hope to see it become official policy. We want to work with all political parties to #FixTheCMS. Find out how you can get involved here: orlo.uk/ImKcp

Me: I want a unicorn for Christmas Santa: Be realistic Me: Okay, I want to put my kids to bed and have the energy left to read a book or paint a picture or call a friend Santa: What colour unicorn?

If evolution really works, how come single parents only have two hands?

If anyone is Christmas shopping for me I’m a size Saturday night babysitter.

This is your reminder that being a great single parent doesn’t always have to mean: ✔️ Your house is tidy ✔️ Your meals are cooked from scratch ✔️ You’ve got your life together ✔️ You always finish lists ✔️ Wait, where was…

Today’s words of affirmation: I am a good parent having a hard time.

Wondering what it’s like to be a single parent? Imagine you’re trying to unlock the front door whilst carrying 8 bags of shopping and one of them breaks. And then someone throws you a priceless vase. Also, the house is on fire.

My kids used to have a bedtime. Now they just tuck me in and go back to watching TV.

Bedtime: My nightly reminder that I'm not the boss.

I'm not saying I'm excited for back to school but I already packed their lunches. Two weeks ago.

Reminder: Your children are learning how to be a person by watching YOU. Be the version of yourself you want them to learn from.

I don't know who needs to hear this but children just need one supportive, caring, loving parent to thrive. And that parent is you.

Choose your kids. In every situation. Every time. Over anyone. Choose your kids.
