There are obligations and legal matters to take into account, and it can be all too easy to fall into unhealthy ways of coping. No matter how long you’ve been married for, where you live, or…

I have always wondered how much laundry other parents do because in my household I end up running the washing machine at least four times a week. My son has PE at secondaryschool three times during a school week, plus tennis, football training so a lot of sporting kit has to be washed on top of the uniform – a 12 year old boy sweats a lot!

One of the biggest moments in a teenage girl’s life is her prom. It is a coming of age ritual for many girls, and a moment for them to show off and have a memorable evening with their friends. You want her to look good without spending a fortune, and she wants to look great, feel comfortable, and not look like everyone else.
