I Invested in a Plastics Company (the Good Kind)

Can We Write About Motherhood Without Mum Shaming?

Parenting is not a ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach — “This essay is yet another example of the parent-shaming drivel that is all over the internet. Written by someone who was never confronted by the prospect of losing their mind, their career, their relationship with their spouse, etc from months or years of sleep deprivation.
