MammyWoo: Night Terrors and Suicide Letters
If you keep an eye on this page of my blog, Mammywoos is a name which you’ll see a bit of. She is my bloggedy hero and I heart her (read further gushing here) . Somehow terrifyingly honest & hilarious all at once, this post serves as a true reminder that Depression is an illness. Not a choice.
Gorgeous little post about the war against teething. if you’ve been there, I guarantee you’ll find yourself right back in it, lay awake in the dark, wishing you could do something.
I have little that I even Can say about this blog. It’s so funny, I cried reading it. God help us all as parents. MoVo talks about the stuff we don’t know where to start with.
If you’re a bit of a twitter addict, you’ll understand this post. I wish so much, that I had written this. Describing to a non-tweeting friend ‘what twitter is like’ absolutely hits the nail on the head in a way that is funny & clever and oh so very true.
So. I wrote a post about benefits and then Cas came along On The Same Day and shit all over it. A post about the stigma attached to living on benefits, dealing with the judgement and trying to be more than just a statistic.
Written to her daughter ‘Moo’, MoVo somehow manages to be both funny and heartbreaking in this beautifully poignant post about the breakdown of her marriage. Of all the wonderful posts by MoVo while she still did blog, this one has really stayed with me.
If you follow my twitter or look at my blog much you’ll see Mummyglitzer haunting my mentions and comment boxes. She is one of my twitter besties yes, but don’t let that take away from the fact she is a truly marvellrous blogger. This girl writes about the bags of shit life flings and you and smashes back at them with a baseball bat. Funny and heart-warming, this post talks about those fears of “Am I doing this right?” we all face as parents.
