Flying the (Robin’s) Nest – mummainthemiddle
https://mummainthemiddle.wordpress.com/2016/12/03/flying-the-robins-nest
Middle Age Motherhood, Mayhem, and Musings. Flying the (Robin’s) Nest. I love Christmas. It has always been my favourite time of year. My oldest daughter and my son are only two years apart, so Christmas was always a magical time with double the fun, double the excitement. My youngest daughter was born with a bigger age gap, so once my older two stopped believing, they kept the magic alive for their sister’s sake. And then it was my turn. I would set to work, bringing down presents, arranging them un...

Why I will NEVER have a flu jab again – mummainthemiddle
https://mummainthemiddle.wordpress.com/2016/10/25/why-i-will-never-have-a-flu-jab-again
Middle Age Motherhood, Mayhem, and Musings. Why I will NEVER have a flu jab again. So it’s that time of year again, when carrying tissues and hand sanitiser are as important as making sure you have your keys and purse. A shopping trip becomes a slalom course, as you try and dodge the sneezes and coughs, and sleeves are pulled down over your hands when you have to hold on to a handrail, rather than risk getting the germs on your hands. To finally have a referral to a rheumatologist, and after an MRI I was...

Middle Age Motherhood, Mayhem, and Musings. Size Really Does Matter…. Ok class, listen up, because today we are going to be talking about knickers. Ladies knickers to be precise. Men have it easy boxers or briefs, that’s it. The only thing they have to worry about is material. But us ladies have it much harder. Go into any lingerie department, and there is a smorgasbord of panties on offer, and we are faced with the dilemma of comfort over sexiness. Now, call me unimaginative but why? October 13, 2016.

I am Glad I Lied to my Children – mummainthemiddle
https://mummainthemiddle.wordpress.com/2016/12/13/i-am-glad-i-lied-to-my-children
Middle Age Motherhood, Mayhem, and Musings. I am Glad I Lied to my Children. There have been a lot of posts recently about how telling children that Father Christmas is real is damaging them. How we are teaching our children not to trust us. How they will lose faith in us as parents if we perpetuate the myth. Well…I would dare anyone to watch this video. Queuing up to go and talk to Santa in his grotto isn’t lying, it is simply adding to the magic. Why would you deprive a child of that? I call BS on the ...

I’m cutting out Poo… – mummainthemiddle
https://mummainthemiddle.wordpress.com/2016/10/23/im-cutting-out-poo
Middle Age Motherhood, Mayhem, and Musings. I’m cutting out Poo…. Shampoo, that is! Got you interested though, right? Are you kidding me? Bathroom time is the only time we get some ‘me’ time, unless you have really little ones, in which case you have a teeny tiny audience most of the time. So no, I am not utilising some weird butt plug to stop the evacuation of waste matter! Doing, is trying the ‘ no-poo. 8211; it’s scary stuff. The next day, well, I wasn’t impressed, to say the least. I used an egg wash...

Feeling My Age, and Then Some – mummainthemiddle
https://mummainthemiddle.wordpress.com/2016/12/06/feeling-my-age-and-then-some
Middle Age Motherhood, Mayhem, and Musings. Feeling My Age, and Then Some. This getting older lark can be a pain in the bum. Literally. Next week I am 48, although most days I still think I am 21, at least in my head. But today I feel more like 100. I have arthritis, which is a sucky condition for anyone to have, but when it hits a young(ish) woman, who still has the youthful mentality of Tigger, it is doubly cruel. I won’t go into the whys and wherefores of it developing – it’s all here. But today, it i...

Did you just smile at me, you sexist pig? – mummainthemiddle
https://mummainthemiddle.wordpress.com/2016/10/26/did-you-just-smile-at-me-you-sexist-pig
Middle Age Motherhood, Mayhem, and Musings. Did you just smile at me, you sexist pig? Recently I came across an article which claimed that men with manners were sexist. Or, to be more specific, men who still practiced the art of chivalry. Apparently, according to the study, men who held doors open for ladies, gave up a seat for them, or any of the other behaviours associated with being a gentlemen, meant they were, in actual fact, sexist. It can’t be, because they are the same sex. Is it ageist? You are ...
