Agony aunt blogger for mums/moms
I’ve had a long email from a wife asking for some more help having read my previous post about ‘Inappropriate Relationships’. My answer is basically ‘Yes’ that woman is a wrong un, but I thought I’d include the whole email with my comments all the way through in red to help guys understand the general […]
I received this email a couple of days ago: Hi Lisa I’m a big fan of your blog and practical approach, so wondered if you could help me at all? I am 40 next week (!), mum of a 4 year old boy, who is in nursery 3 days and off to school in Sept. […]
I’m so glad that this regular reader of my blog has asked this question, partially because she ACTUALLY asked and partially because it’s brilliant. How DO you ask for help, when you’ve been self-sufficient and looking after yourself for 60yrs? But at the same time helping others and helping your community? Here is […]
The Problem I don’t really know where to start, you asked if my unhappiness is affecting the atmosphere, well I’m sure at times it does, I know I can be lost in my own thoughts and feelings and sometimes snap at those around me unduly. I met my partner when I was 16, though we […]

The Problem I received an email from a Mum a week or so ago that reminded me so much of what many of us feel at times in our lives: I feel like I’ve lost myself and really can’t do anything, be a good mum, work or even decorate our house which we moved in […]
This weeks question corner is very difficult and sad to answer. In a blog post I can’t give a complete and total answer, but I can give guidance on where to start. Background A few weeks ago I was approached by a mum who was wanting to ask the American courts to see and talk […]
A lovely Mum I know posted the following tweet oneday ‘Hate that I’m intimidated by toddler group. Need to grow some balls. Figuratively speaking.’ so I offered to do a question corner post for her, because what she doesn’t know is that we are all scared shitless of walking into those places (well 99% of […]
This question was logged by one of my male readers (I know I’m the ‘mummy whisperer’, but as I’ve been talking about Sex a lot, I’ve gained quite a lot of male readers too), and I have to admit that at first I kind of thought ‘well isn’t it obvious?’. Then I realised that firstly […]
