#parenting; #rantalert; #parentrant; #parentalabuse; #byemonday #genxornothereicome Monday. It’s done and gone. Yesterday however, was an eventful one. After our argument with our youngest teenager, I now absolutely agree that I don’t understand him. Parents and schools have been stripped of what authority they had left to discipline children. They effectively rule the world right now.Continue reading “Menopausal Monday #19”

Menopausal Monday #18
#mothersday Living 2,000 Km away from my parents, as an only child, can hinder my ability to support them. When I decided to emigrate to the UK twenty years ago, I didn’t think about my extended future and how that could one day affect my ability to be present when my support could be important.Continue reading “Menopausal Monday #18”
Menopausal Monday #17
#mondayshouldbeoptional Funny week this one was. Finding out my son is being victim of bullying really put things in perspective for me. I always said I would stand by my children if it ever happened. But my idea of standing up was a little different than the standing up I’m actually doing right now. InContinue reading “Menopausal Monday #17”
Menopausal Monday #16
#everybodyhurts And while the world is grieving with the consequences of wars and unprecedented corruption, life still goes on. It’s again a case of letting things take its course. As the REM used to sing: “Everybody hurts”. Around Notts this weekend to spend some time with our Uni-bound child (or as much bound as possible,Continue reading “Menopausal Monday #16”
Menopausal Monday #15
#grief #greed #childabuse #currentstateofaffairs #nobodysgirl Once again a belated Monday post. I have been digesting the current rough events and dealing with some parenting matters too. Unfortunately, this full-time employed mother and housewife gig does not have scheduled spare time, so it’s hard to show up when the blog is no more than a therapyContinue reading “Menopausal Monday #15”
Menopausal Monday #14
#familymatters #britishcaravanholiday Today I woke up in Kessingland, in Suffolk, by the beach. We’re going back home after a four days’ caravan family holiday. Holidays the British way. Falling asleep to the wind and crackling of the metal underneath, and waking up to pouring rain or to the sea gulls claws promenading above. In Portugal,Continue reading “Menopausal Monday #14”
Menopausal Monday #13
#possiblerantalert Ok, it WAS yesterday. But it is surely Monday somewhere on a parallel universe. As I grow further into menopause, I feel this working full time malarky is getting less bearable. I grow more tired of this routine and frustrated by what more pleasurable things I could be doing with my time. (Bloody billsContinue reading “Menopausal Monday #13”
Menopausal Monday #12
#possiblerantalert Outer thighs, inner thighs, the whole area seems to be screeming for (and I know how this is going to sound) continuous open-leg stretch. Starting to think an everyday end of day yoga session might help. My biggest problem, and probably the biggest problem for most women is that the job requires being satContinue reading “Menopausal Monday #12”
Menopausal Monday #11
#rantalert You know that crescendo rage you feel building up when someone talks to you like you have a learning disability? I am an absolute advocate for people to be addressed politely but some people do it in such a way it’s offensive (if anyone is totally entitled to feel offended is menopausal women). There’sContinue reading “Menopausal Monday #11”
Menopausal Monday #10
Self Talk Know that familiar feeling at the end of every weekend? That disheartening feeling that comes when something good is over? That’s another weekend flew past. It always feels like we didn’t get enough time… By the time we start to relax, it’s already Sunday. And let’s agree, Mondays are probably the most antisocialContinue reading “Menopausal Monday #10”
