My Name's Not Mummy
http://mynamesnotmummy.blogspot.com/2012/08/blog-post.html
My Name's Not Mummy. Wednesday, 22 August 2012. It’s I’m a girl and I HATE PINK! The boy will be three in December and during his short life I have tried very hard to make sure I steer away from gender stereotypes. It seems I should have tried harder! I try not to let him watch TV that is aimed particularly at boys, I like stuff like Peppa Pig which I think is aimed at everyone (including adults! I know what you’re going to say.turn the TV off. And now to top it all off.PINK LEGO! Where is their choice?

My Name's Not Mummy: January 2012
http://mynamesnotmummy.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
My Name's Not Mummy. Monday, 30 January 2012. It's Child of a single parent. I grew up in a single parent household. I had one dad and my two sisters had another. Both men had left my Mum to bring up a young family on her own. My mum was lucky that she had a good support network around her and extended family she could call on in times of difficulty. But life as a child from a lone parent family wasn’t easy. What is wrong with giving people a helping hand, a second chance, free of judgement and scorn?

My Name's Not Mummy: August 2011
http://mynamesnotmummy.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
My Name's Not Mummy. Monday, 8 August 2011. Last week I learnt a new word: 'SMOG'. It stands for Smug Mum of Girls. I am the mother of a boy. Does this make me a SMOB? Is there such thing as a SMOB? Apparently all mothers really, deep down want a girl. Those that do are SMOGs. Not just because they have their darling little girl, but because they are the fairer sex; they are nicer, calmer, and get to wear pretty clothes. I've always got on well with boys. I have always had male friends, even at prima...

My Name's Not Mummy: June 2012
http://mynamesnotmummy.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
My Name's Not Mummy. Monday, 18 June 2012. I do not believe in God. Some days I may 'pray' to something, somewhere, to help me out or give me a break, but I don't believe there is somebody out there who is listening and can change things. But, since having a child, my categorical belief that there is no God has been brought into question. It has surprised me and confused me. Looking back I like the idea of the boy going to assemblies, learning about the stories in the Bible (from a child's prespective) a...

My Name's Not Mummy. Monday, 27 June 2011. Dutiful daughter-in-law, I like to think! I know last weekend was Father's Day here in the UK, but I ended up treating my mother-in-law (MIL) to a trip to the theatre. We had a lovely time, while the man and his Father stayed at home enjoying some quality time together. The relationship with my mum has had it's up and downs and can be strained at times. With a daughter-in-law, I imagine just having the ups. They are grown up, independent, and mature so d...I kno...

My Name's Not Mummy: ...It's jobseeker
http://mynamesnotmummy.blogspot.com/2011/07/its-jobseeker.html
My Name's Not Mummy. Sunday, 10 July 2011. The Fairy Jobmother on channel four has to be one of the most depressing TV shows I've watched. The 'fairy jobmother' is incredibly patronising and I do not believe that she would do any of the jobs she forces the people she claims to help. It's even worse since I became a job seeker myself and have been signing on. This' was a job that was minimum wage, every weekday between 11 - 2, in a category I'd not ticked. Now perhaps I was being a job snob, but I had...
