Posted on By Nigel

Come on then! Who has had these conversations, or do you shy away from conservations about sex? It’s that subject that parents still get embarrassed talking about with their children, but at what age do you start educating your children about sex? Let’s be brutally honest, schools and the education system are letting our children down with their idea of sex education as it will quite possibly involve an hour in year six of primary school, which is totally inadequate.

I Lost My Temper with My Twins But I Don’t Regret It

Posted on By Nigel

We are approximately two and a half weeks into the school summer holidays and I think I have done very well in keeping my temper with my six year old twin girls. That was until the other day when I finally snapped. This is unusual for me because I very rarely shout like I did at one of the girls.

For me it really only feels like yesterday that I would sit on the patio and count the stars with her on a summer’s night at sunset, and try to pass on some words of wisdom to her, although we have had this conservation on a few occasions recently about how when she was four years old she would sit with me on… [Read More]

Posted on By Nigel

Yesterday we went on a day trip to West Midlands Safari Park where they have a new feature called Ice Age.

Did I survive? Well, you will have to wait until tomorrow to see if I publish a full blog post review on our day trip to West Midlands Safari Park.
