Me And My Tiny Human

I think I’ve officially become that mum.
The one standing next to other parents… saying absolutely nothing.
Not because I don’t like people, but because I just don't have the energy for anyone new in my life.
The weird thing is, I don’t feel lonely. If anything, I feel full.
Full with my kid, my life and the people I already know.
Which has made me realise… I'm not antisocial. I'm just tired.

I briefly re-entered the dating scene.
Briefly.
As in: downloaded the apps, matched with a few men, read approximately six bios and remembered why I enjoy my peaceful, drama-free life.
This episode is about the admin of dating as a solo mum, the strange freedom of not wanting a relationship and the truly baffling things men put in their dating profiles
If you’re dating as a solo mum (or very intentionally not dating), I’d love to hear how it’s going for you.

I always assumed I’d have two kids.
It was just one of those things I’d decided in my twenties... a nice, neat vision of what my future family would look like.
And then I actually had a child.
Now I find myself genuinely surprised by how strong my reaction is when friends announce they’re having a second.
It’s not judgement. It’s not even fear.
It’s the very clear realisation that going back to the beginning (especially on my own) feels like a life I don’t think I want.
Maybe I’ll change my mind. Maybe I won’t.
But right now, this is where I'm at.
If you're grappling with the same question, I'd love to hear from you!

Well. That changed quickly.
In yesterday's episode I was mid-toilet-training fog, genuinely unsure of how we were ever getting to the other side.
Then in between recording and that episode going live we've somehow managed to get ourselves in undies. And we're using the toilet.
We are officially toilet trained!
So, instead of erasing over yesterday's episode I wanted to keep that in as a marker of how bloody lost I was in this whole process only 5 minutes before things changed.
Consider this a Disney-style 'Reprise' where we come back for a little update to show that sometimes things feel impossible, right up to the moment they aren't.

In my experience toilet training isn't a thing you finish, it's thing you circle endlessly while asking yourself how you're ever going to get through to the other side.
Sure, we’ve had some wins but we've also had plenty of regressions.
And we've got an inexplicable obsession with pooing in our nappy on the balcony.
Go figure.
This episode is me, mid-process, trying to understand how you teach someone to do something you don’t remember learning yourself while quietly wondering if I'm ever going to have a kid who wears underpants.
If you’ve been there, or you’re here now, I’d love to hear how it went for you.
