Six-week summer holidays should be scrapped, sorry kids

It’s such a tough time of year, this winter school term in England (Picture: Sarah Whiteley)Walking into my six-year-old son Theo’s bedroom, I gently shook his shoulder.‘Time to get ready for school,’ I said, my voice a stage whisper. But as he cracked open an eye, he shook his head. ‘It’s still dark outside,’ he muttered sleepily, before burrowing further under his duvet.I sighed. I could hardly blame him for wanting to stay in bed. It had been a hard enough struggle to get myself up this morni…

It cost £730 to send my son to nursery for 3 days a week - Metro.co.uk

Surely having the family you want shouldn’t be a privilege reserved for the wealthy? (Picture: Sarah Whiteley)Looking at the invoice, I felt sick to my stomach. At £730, it was roughly the same amount as our mortgage. ‘It’s worse than I thought,’ I told my husband Tom, as I passed my laptop over.His face dropped as he looked at the eye-watering amount.The invoice was our first nursery bill for our son, Theo, back in 2019, and I still remember the fear and panic that single, simple email sparked.…

I refuse to give in to the 'sittervising' parenting trend - Metro.c...

I wouldn’t say I was following a parenting trend by simply taking a pew in the same room as them (Picture: Sarah Whiteley)Sittervising? I clicked on the article about the ‘it’ parenting trend with curiosity. But as I read more, I couldn’t help but roll my eyes.‘Sittervising’ involves supervising your children from a seated position – so not necessarily getting involved in their play, but keeping an eye on them from a close distance. Really? That’s a trend?That’s something that I – and, I’d bet m…

I didn't have kids to be excited about them going back to school - ...

Walking away with my tray of food and children in tow, I was baffled (Picture: Sarah Whiteley)‘Guys,’ I said to my two children, Theo, six, and Immy, four, trying to hide my annoyance. ’Could you please decide now? There’s other people waiting.’After a wander around our local park and a quick go on the swings for Immy, we’d headed to the café to warm up and grab a sandwich.But as we got to the front of the queue, they were suddenly undecided about whether they wanted a ham sandwich or a cheese o…

I'm refusing to fall back into my same-old parenting routine - Metr...

We’re here on this amazing, beautiful world for such a short amount of time, surely we need to make the most of it? (Picture: Sarah Whiteley)Settling down into the comfy, oversized seat, I reached into my bag.‘Theo, here’s your popcorn,’ I whispered to my son. ’And pass your sister’s pick and mix to her please.’We all munched our way through the trailers, then our chosen film, Elf, began.As the familiar tones of Papa Elf filled the cinema, jingle bells delicately playing in the background, I smi…

This 10-minute daily routine helps me feel closer to my kids - Metr...

I was devastated to read the results of the latest National Parent Survey released earlier this month (Picture: Sarah Whiteley)Every single night without fail, no matter the time, me and my husband Tom will cuddle into our two children – Theo, six, and Immy, four – to read a story.It’s the thing I treasure most about my day.For me, it’s not simply a way of passing on my love of books, helping Theo learn to read or introducing Immy to her letters.It’s one of the best ways I know how to bond with…

Christmas is a time of year to spread the magic of the season to everyone in my life (Picture: Sarah Whiteley)Looking at the pile of brightly-wrapped presents in front of me, I felt a glow of pride.I couldn’t wait to see the joy on the recipient’s face as they unwrapped them, or hear their exclamations of surprise and happiness.But these gifts weren’t for my two children – Theo, six, and Immy, four. No, their presents were still in the loft. These ones were for my husband, Tom.This might not see…

Like Paris Hilton, I went weeks without changing my son's nappy - M...

‘This is insane,’ one wrote (Picture: Adrián Monroy/Medios y Media/Getty Images)Reading the mum-shaming that Paris Hilton has been subjected to – yet again – this week, I couldn’t help but roll my eyes and snort.The 42-year-old model and entrepreneur had made the mistake of admitting on her show, Paris In Love, that she was changing her son Phoenix’s nappy for the first time – despite him being a month old when the show was filmed.Her viewers were not impressed.‘This is insane,’ one wrote.’So mu…

Jennifer Garner just taught me a surprise parenting lesson - Metro....

I wasn’t quite sure why Jennifer Garner admitted to such things on national television (Picture Michael Kovac/Getty Images for STARZ)I have to admit, I was shocked when I saw a clip of Jennifer Garner’s interview on American breakfast show ‘Today’ this week.Shocked and yes, I’ll say it, disappointed.Normally, I’m in love with the 51-year-old Hollywood actor. She seems like one of the good guys, doesn’t she? Not only is she incredibly talented, but she was full of grace and dignity in the wake of…
