Mummy Idea:Phase 1

-
Several primary school teachers have suggested similar schedules, this is my take...

I think they'd rather be at school.

Have I mentioned I love this stuff. When I was little I used to force my cousins and 
brother to play 'The Richards Club' which was basically school, for literally hours - this 
is right up my street!!

  My daughter (11) wrote the following speech for her class at school and her teacher kindly sent it to me. I think what I have been whinging about (a lot obviously ) has gone in: 'Hi my name is x and I am here to talk to you about disability discrimination. The reason I am going to talk about this subject is I am very passionate people know what disability discrimination is. All over the world people are building new restaurants and hotels, but these new amazing buildings are forgetting about laws that were put in place to help the disabled access for these buildings. These buildings are still allowed to open due to them finding ways around the law. I am going to tell you a short story about something that happened to my mum. One morning my mum was going out and so my mum called a taxi. When she was saying goodbye to her PA/helper the taxi driver would only speak to my mum's PA, completely ignoring her presence. After a while my Mum had, had enough. She told the driver she ...

About me

To understand me and the changes to mine and my families life you would have to know that pre brain hemorrhage/children I was a solicitor. Before the brain hemorrhage I was a very active mum. I want to blog now because I hate being bored, I want to help other disabled young people - this is not a position you expect to be in in your 30’s (!) and I hope it will be interesting to others. A bit about me: I am 37 year old wife and mummy to a 11 & 9 year old. I was going to go into lots of detail but suffice to say I had a big brain hemorrhage caused by an AVM (Arteriovenous Malformation) causing a stroke - type 'AVM' into a internet search engine if you are interested. I was born with it and I could have had a bleed at anytime. Mine bled and now I spend all day/every day striving for 'a semblance of normality'... Yes, it was rubbish and yes, I wish it hadn't have happened but it did and there isn't anything I can do about it. I do...

My Children: The PICKIEST of Picky Eaters

-
 Why don’t my children eat? I ask myself constantly. I know what you are thinking: “MY children eat, she must be pandering to  them in some way” and “don’t give them anything else. If they are hungry  they will eat” But here’s the thing. I am really not pandering to them. My children simply  appear to have wills of iron when it comes to food – and yes, they will go hungry. I have heard it all when it comes to solutions to picky eaters. ‘Don't give them any choice’ is one classic. I don’t. ‘Just keep putting it on their plate ultimately they will eat it’ is another. Mine haven't and they’re 7 and 9 years-old. But I still persist, putting food on their plate for them to waste. What I have learnt is all that all the advice is complete rubbish when it comes to  my own children. Over the years I have tried lots of things to encourage them, including going to a special children's group for picky eaters. The end result was after 6 weeks my ...
