Hello! I hope you are all having a good June and enjoying the intermittent ‘summer’ weather?!
I was asked yesterday to contribute to a piece inspired by Gwyneth’s Paltrow’s instagram post over the weekend where she shared a photograph of her ex-husband Chris Martin, with their daughter on Fathers Day, and applauded father’s everywhere.
It was an example of healthy parenting following separation, and the journalist I was contacted by was hoping to build on that sentiment with a more in-depth piece looking at how to positively manage divorce.

I thought with Mothers Day on the way I would re-post this piece I wrote for MotherWifeMe.com.
I am certainly not perfect on the ‘not shouting’ front but I do my best to follow my own advice! I hope you like my thoughts, please leave yours at the bottom. Cat x
All children will ‘behave badly’ at some point or another. Some parents seem to cope better at these points than others, but we can all learn their secret.

Dear Cat,
I have come home to my parents for a few days with my 2 1/2 year old son. We live quite far away so on this occasion I have flown by myself as my husband has to work, I also have a friends wedding which I am attending so I decided to come home for 2 weeks.
It is late at night as I write this and I am so upset. My mum has just “given me a talking to” about my son’s behaviour after he got out of the bath. …..
