Everyone agrees that dads have an important part to play in children’s lives. Of course, life doesn’t always happen like that and there may not be male role models in the family unit. My own dad died when I was…

We’re racing towards the end of the school year, and N’s going to have a shock over the summer when he doesn’t need to be in that school routine. Mind you, he’ll be in holiday club for much of it,…

Until last week, I’d not felt too pressured by school non-uniform dates. World book day passed pretty easily (I had a plan for Horrid Henry, but N decided he didn’t want to dress up), non-uniform days have either been pj…
