  • A man’s Maternity Leave ignorance – a belated apology

    A man’s Maternity Leave ignorance – a belated apology

    My wife’s had 3 maternity leaves. All of which I’ve been in work fulltime getting home for 6pm to spend an hour doing the glory bits. I’m not so conceited that I didn’t realise it was a tough gig, but I would rebuff any bemoaning from Mrs Secret Dad Lad with ‘being at work isn’t exactly a f**king holiday’. Turns out, comparatively, it is.

    During lockdown my wife’s more demanding job has meant she’s had to basically continue to work fulltime, albeit remotely. This has meant that I’ve had my own ‘Paternity Leave’ looking after our kids (Josephine 5, Ernie 3 and Walt 1) whilst their Mum works away in the loft. Here’s a chronicle of a typical day:

    • After helping with breakfast, Wife exits stage left.
    • J/E ask for a biscuit
    • Catch W climbing in washing machine whilst explaining to the others that biscuits are not part of breakfast.
    • Put Netflix on.
    • J sends E to ask for a biscuit.
    • Break up fight over who has the remote.
    • Put most guilty one on naughty step.
    • Catch W drinking from dog’s water bowl.
    • Read him a book he hates.
    • Forget one is on naughty step, they wander back to watch Netflix.
    • J/E ask for biscuit. We negotiate. They get raisins.
    • Decide they’ve watched too much Netflix, get crafts out.
    • W does a massive shit, spend 10 minutes fighting him to allow me the pleasure of wiping his arse.
    • Come back to crafts, but they’ve left and are back watching Netflix.
    • Clear up crafts, wishing whoever created slime a slow, gruesome death.
    • Give them early lunch because they’re pissing me off.
    • They hate my lunch. Give them crisps.
    • Put them in garden.
    • I tell E off for purposely lobbing balls into next door’s garden, meanwhile J tries to force W to play with her and he’s like ‘nah’ and bites her.
    • They’re all f**king crying.
    • We go inside.
    • I put on a film for big two, take up tired Mr bitey for his nap.
    • I hide for a bit.
    • They find me like they’re sniffer dogs and I’m selling pills at a festival.
    • They ask for a biscuit. I give them several just so they’ll f**k off.
    • They scream ‘Daddy we’re bored of this film!’ repeatedly and very loudly.
    • I run in and shout at them through gritted teeth that they’re going to wake their little brother up.
    • Little brother wakes up and starts crying.
    • Resist temptation to demonstrate how much I currently despise my two eldest children and go get W up.
    • The next 3 hours is a complete f**king parenting shitshow.
    • Mummy comes down from the loft and they turn into golden children.

    And, it’s pretty much that everyday. Relentless doesn’t cover it. I may have it slightly tougher in one sense during lockdown as there’s less options to escape. But I also don’t have a newborn hanging off my tit, sterilization faff to worry about and an expectation from wider society that it should all come naturally to me. Plus, if the shit really does hit the fan, I have another parent available upstairs who could help me out.

    What I’m getting at is all you maternity leave survivors, fair f**king play. I’ve experienced a small amount of what you endure(d) and I’m flagging. We love our kids, but when they’re young looking after them can be ferocious. So, to my wife especially, I apologise for taking your daily efforts in rearing our kids so magnificently for granted. I’ve had a big taste of humble pie. Sorry it’s taken so long.

    Also, if you can give me access to the magical housework fairy you must have employed during your maternity leave – that would be great 👌🧚‍♀️

  • Mums Committing Suicide I Finally Get It

    I get it. I finally get it. You see mums committing suicide. And I couldn’t understand it. How do you leave your kids behind like that?

    Postpartum depression is what they call it. You don’t feel like the world would be better off without you, you feel like you’d be better off without this world.

    And then everybody posts, “oh, I never knew. She didn’t say anything. She seemed okay.” ……. She told you. And it seemed small to you, you didn’t get it.

    Behind on life, can’t get anything done. Everything is expected of her and she’s drowning. She lost herself taking care of others. She’s told you, “I can’t today. I have too much to do”

    Don’t offer to help with her kids because then the guilt sets in. She won’t let you take them because she feels like she’s already not spending enough time with them. I see it. I see you. I understand you. Y’all wanna check on somebody? Stop by and visit, let her take a shower, help her in some way so she feels like she’s not so behind. Like she’s not alone. Like she’s HUMAN. There’s your signs. Stop saying you didn’t know. Because she told you.

    Speak to your GP or health visitor as soon as possible if you think you might have postnatal depression.

    With appropriate treatment and support, most women make a full recovery, although it can take time.

    Looking after a baby can be stressful and challenging for anyone, and it can be even tougher if you’re dealing with postnatal depression as well.

    There are a number of things you can try yourself to improve your symptoms and help you cope. These include:

    • talk to your partner, friends and family – try to help them understand how you’re feeling and what they can do to support you

    • don’t try to be a “supermum” – accept help from others when it’s offered and ask your loved ones if they can help look after the baby and do tasks such as housework, cooking and shopping

    • make time for yourself – try to do activities that you find relaxing and enjoyable, such as going for a walk, listening to music, reading a book or having a warm bath

    • rest when you can – although it can be difficult when you’re looking after a baby, try to sleep whenever you get the chance, follow good sleeping habits and ask your partner to help with the night-time work

    • exercise regularly – this has been shown to help boost mood in people with mild depression (read more about exercise for depression)

    • eat regular, healthy meals and don’t go for long periods without eating

    • don’t drink alcohol or take drugs , as this can make you feel worse

    Ask your health visitor about support services in your area. They may be able to put you in touch with a social worker, counsellor or local support group. It can be reassuring to meet other women who are going through something similar.

  • To The Other Woman Who Ran Off With The Love Of My Life

    To the other woman:

    I hated you. I watched you run off with the love of my life, happily and shamelessly showing the world what you had done. It took me weeks to realize that the infidelity had been going on long before our relationship ended. It took me months to realize that my pain and tears were used as a device to manufacture your sympathy. And now, it will take me years to recover from the insecurity that comes from being triangulated with another woman.

    But I do not hate you anymore. I fear for you.

    Although we share different personalities, bodies, and spirits – when it comes to this relationship, we are the same woman.

    You see, I once rode the high that you’re currently living. I was the special one. The most beautiful, perfect, flawless partner in the world. I saved him from the pain of his last, crazy ex. I sympathized with him about how horribly she treated him, according to him. I was elated to be the woman who finally made him happy, after all of his alleged suffering. He was fascinated by me. He spent every waking moment texting me and showering me with attention.

    Does this sound familiar?

    One must wonder, in this short span of time, how I suddenly became crazy. Bipolar. Jealous. Needy. Clingy. Abusive. How did that happen? Is it really possible for a person to go from flawless to horrible in the blink of an eye? And furthermore, is it really possible that his previous ex was all of these things as well? And what about the ex before that?

    The common denominator has become startlingly clear.

    For so long, I punished myself. I truly believed that I deserved it. Something must be wrong with me, I thought, in order for him to run off into the sunset with another woman. So happily and enthusiastically.

    But then I realized, I was once that woman. I was you.

    And because of that, I understand that I can never save you from this nightmare. Psychopathic victims cannot escape once they have been groomed. For the rest of your relationship, you will deny reality and invent reasons that you might be the exception. You will lie to yourself, desperately trying to recreate your perfect dream. But ever so slowly, your identity will begin to fall apart. Like sandpaper, he will push your boundaries until you don’t even know who you are anymore.

    Another woman will enter the scene. It is inevitable in relationships with narcissistic men. You will be strung along for as long as possible, as I once was. Your increasingly volatile reactions will be used against you, to evoke sympathy from the new target.

    And eventually, you will be me.

    This is why I fear for you. I would not wish the pain & suffering I’ve experienced on anyone. I know that your intentions were not malicious. I know that you were being spoon-fed the exact same lies I believed a long time ago.

    The story you’ve been told is false. It was a pity ploy, designed to enhance your fairytale and consume your heart. You will not believe that today, but someday this letter will make sense. Brutal, heartbreaking sense.

    I can only hope that the aftermath of your abuse might be guided by this letter. I can only hope that this might provide you with the tools that I was never given. A puzzle piece, to jumpstart your journey.

    I do not hate you. That is what he would want.

    Psychopathic mind games are invincible to everything but love. I will not carry on his legacy by taking part in these triangles anymore, injecting jealousy & hatred to fill the void of his soul.

    I’ve made it through to the other side, and I know you can too. Please have the same empathy for the woman who replaces you. We can only ever stop this cycle of abuse with compassion for one another. By recognizing that all human beings deserve to be treated with respect, kindness, and honesty. By recognizing that there is no other woman – we are all that woman.

    Wishing you love, hope, and above all: freedom.

  • Dads Warning About New Style Fruitshoot

    A man Known as Spike has taken to social media to warn others about Robinson’s fruit shoots’

    “Warning to all parents.

    My son has always been a fan of Robinson’s fruitshoots.

    Recently they have rebranded changing from the classic purple bottle with blue lid to the new purple with green lid.

    Since the old one is no longer available we obviously purchased the new one for my son.

    Ever since then my son has been getting sent bouts of nausea and being sick. It’s also put him off his food as a result of this.

    Please be careful. They have changed some of their ingredients and the following apply:

    What can too much niacin do to you?

    Reactions range from flushing, itching, nervousness and headaches to intestinal cramps, nausea, and diarrhea. High doses of niacin can cause liver toxicity; doses in excess of 3 grams a day should be used only under careful medical supervision (for example, in the treatment of high cholesterol).

    Are there side effects to taking biotin?

    Symptoms of biotin deficiency include hair loss, dry skin, a scaly rash around the eyes or mouth, dry eyes, fatigue, and depression. Many people take biotin supplements in hopes of treating hair loss, cradle cap in infants, and brittle nails.

    Please monitor your children and be aware. My son will no longer be drinking fruitshoots anymore as a result of this”.

    Many others commented on the post and said that their children have also had a bad reaction to the seemingly harmless child friendly drink, however others stated that any person or child can have reactions to anything and that some people are just extra sensitive and it won’t happen to everyone just a small miniority.

    Have you tried the new style fruit shoots? Did your child have a reaction? Let us know in the comments

  • Woman Welcomes New Kitten Into Her Life

    A lady named Lucy Schulz welcomed a new baby into her life, but it’s not your normal birth announcement.

    Schulz wrote: On 10/01/18 we welcomed our first baby kitten, a neutered male DLH.

    He is 22″ long and weighed 6 pounds 7 oz. He is already eating solid food. Name to be announced. We are so in love.

    Thank you Elizabeth Woods Darby for capturing these amazing first moments!!

    More than 80,000 people have shared the birth announcement since it was posted on the social media site Facebook and this is likely to rise.

    In the photos it appears as if Schultz is actually giving birth to a kitten which in case you aren’t aware isn’t currently possible.

    Schultz told 9news.com ” so I’ve been thinking of this idea for a while because i’m totally a crazy cat lady who didn’t have any cats, so I decided as soon as i got a cat its a big milestone for me and sort of the hallmark of me settling down and starting my menagerie of future cats and so the first one is pretty special”.

    So she and her husband decided to ask their good friend and photographer Elizabeth Woods-Darby to do a photo shoot of the new addition to their family.

    Schultz has received a lot of negative comments but says she’s just ignoring them and focusing on the positive and funny ones, she also hopes that he birth announcement will encourage others to go out and adopt a cat who needs a loving home.

  • New Mums Have It Easy Give Me A New Born Any Day

    New mums have it easy, give me a new born any day, I often see new mums complaining how hard it is, now I understand new babies awake during the night and feed on demand and poop and cry but I’m sorry but new babies are easy.

    I’m not disputing that having a new baby isn’t a huge change and tiring especially one  with colic or reflux is hard work but the real struggles are yet to come.

    A baby whom can crawl but has no understanding of danger is terrifying, everything is a hazard.. EVERYTHING.

    A toddler who is tired and can’t understand why you have to pick up their siblings from school is no fun, not to mention the tears and screams when they have to put shoes on, public meltdowns, refusing to eat, to sleep to listen arghhh.

    Roll on to when they start school, they suddenly know it all, yet still can’t be reasoned with, this phase will last years, the worry if they are making friends, are they being bullied, are they achieving, are they eating enough?

    Then we get to the time when your child starts secondary school, they suddenly demand their complete independence but you still have to remind them to wash their hands after using the toilet. They spend more time on the internet and you spend most of your own time checking up on them, making sure you know who they are speaking to, where they are and who with.

    And then the dreaded zone the teen years, the back chatting the constant worrying what they are up to, the grunts the groans, the teenage angst. The stress of exams, the peer pressure, hoping that their happy and worrying for their futures.

    So give me a new-born, a cute sweet bundle of joy, that screams all night, but smells so good, who loves you unconditionally and needs you, you know exactly where they are at every second of the day, and cries can be stopped with milk, a bum change or a cuddle.

  • Smacking Children Aganist The Law

    Smacking  children will shortly be banned in Scotland, the Scottish Government has just confirmed.

    Ministers have announced they will ensure that a Bill brought forward by Green MSP John Finnie would become a new law.
    The legislation will remove the defence of ”justifiable assault” in Scots law, which allows parents to use physical punishment to discipline a child.
    The move will make Scotland the very first part of the United Kingdom to introduce a ban on the smacking of children.

    Should smacking be banned in England, let us know in the comments?
    Scottish Labour announced earlier this week it would also support the bill as “the right thing to do”.

    A spokesman said:

    “Giving children equal protection against assault will send a clear message to all of us about how we treat each other and underpin Scotland’s efforts to reduce violence”.
    “The physical punishment of children is already illegal in 52 countries and the proposal will give children in Scotland the necessary protections to flourish in a healthy environment and encourage the building of stronger relationships between children, their parents and others who care for them.”

    “The NSPCC has long campaigned for children to have the same protection against assault as adults and we strongly believe a change in the law would be a common-sense move.”
