We're not to admit this as adults, but my mum is my best friend. We've always had a strong bond, but the truth is, as I've grown older, our relationship has evolved into something truly unique and special. All the elements of a friendship are there - trust, respect, and genuine enjoyment of each other. How lucky are we? So why is it considered 'uncool' to have a family member as a best friend?

ParentingDon't miss out on the headlines from Parenting. Followed categories will be added to My News. I was in the library with my youngest the other day when I heard what sounded like a Disney Princess had come to life. The kind of voice that would rouse a forest of animals to clean the house or make a dress out of rags. Want to join the family? Sign up to our Kidspot newsletter for more stories like this.

I'll be the first to admit that after over nine years of parenting three children, I am nowhere near understanding tantrums. I am also no closer to unlocking the key to staying calm and collected during them, or even preventing their escalation. But one thing I do enjoy about tantrums is when other children have tantrums, especially in public.

Parents with older kids warned me: “Just wait – soon you will be an Uber driver for your kids.” They were right. And it’s driving me (pardon the pun), crazy. While yes, as a driver, I am a five-star, my kids are not! They aren’t concerned about their passenger rating. If I were to rate them as passengers, they would be one star and I think that’s being generous because my calculations include their behaviour at home as well as in the car. Allow me to share just a glimpse of my past weekend.

The 'dusty son' trend is adding to my mental load, which is already fully loaded. My boys are not even close to walking down the aisle. My youngest has only been walking for 12 months! So there's that. So why is TikTok shaming me for what kind of husband they will be? Want to join the family? Sign up to our Kidspot newsletter for more stories like this.
