I am a 35 year-old mother two - but still somewhat offended when a store assistant swiftly hits 'VISIBLY OVER 25' when I'm buying booze at the self-checkout

Twins really come into their own on #Halloween

@theipaper @RebeccaCNReid My parents' divorce went on for 7 years. I couldn't agree with this more!

Miriam Cates is wrong – a prompt divorce is the best thing you can do for your child, says @RebeccaCNReid trib.al/yzYOyVe

Misogyny is the fact that when Russell Brand uses his own "promiscuity" as a defence against allegations against him, people rally behind him. Yet when women allege sexual violence, their apparent promiscuity is weaponised to undermine, disbelieve and demonise them

I’m not saying the media in the early 00’s caused my eating disorder but it sure didn’t help…

@victoriafinan Agree - it's such a nice community I've found

There's so much written about competitive and toxic behaviour among mum friends and - being extremely new to it all admittedly - in my experience nothing could have been further from the truth. I feel actually so emotional at the lovely support so many mums have shown us.

Four months into twin motherhood and I've never been prouder of a double chin or two (or three)

@MsMargaritaP Hello! So nice to hear from you! When did you have your baby? That's lovely. And thank you - it absolutely is mad but finding my rhythm

@AliceJRStride Hope all is well Alice. Congratulations on your twins!! Welcome to the wonderful, crazy world of motherhood !💕

Six weeks into twin motherhood and I've learned that it's mostly comprised of congratulating them on their bodily functions

@victoriafinan She is gorgeous 😍

Never happier ❤️

I couldn't go to #Glastonbury in the end because I have 7 week-old twins (I did Google 'newborn + festival??? in a mad moment) - but this morning my son has got drunk (milk drunk), been sick and then gleefully passed out, which is v festival vibes

@lucindadevine Thank you Lucinda! How are you?

@AliceJRStride Oh my goodness huge congrats! Hope you’re all doing well.

@RebeccaCNReid Thank you Mama! Right back at you, MAMA! Btw, I am really enjoying your Substack (mama)

@AliceJRStride Congratulations Mama! You're a super hero Mama! You've got this Mama!

you know what I've decided I cannot stand, is callling each other 'mama' on instagram. 'you rock mama!' 'you've got this mama!' is not something you would EVER SAY IN REAL LIFE

@victoriafinan CONGRATULATIONS! so beautiful and what a name

Our perfect daughter Edith Elizabeth Finucane (or simply Edie) arrived on Saturday June 10 and has already made our lives magical beyond our wildest dreams. ❤️

Veeeery late to the #Succession party here (my 5 week-old twins have no respect for when I want to watch telly, rude) but holy SHIT, what an extraordinary finale

This is contemporary sexism - it’s subtle and masquerading as research, but it’s real. Breastfeeding means a woman does ALL the caregiving. This unscientific crap only serves to guilt trip and pressure women into thinking motherhood has to mean martyrdom. thetimes.co.uk/article/breast…

I am a fucking fantastic parent and Danny Kruger can suck it.
