It's a toilet roll. Just let her suck the mf toilet roll 😶 . Pic by @humorandwine #parentsoftoddlers #toddlerspace #toddlersareassholes #attachmentparenting #gentleparenting #newmama #secondtimemum #mummyblog #ukmums #mummydiaries #matleave #toddlertoys #siblingrivalry #gentleparent #siblings👫

>> In the US, a black child was kicked out of school because the white executive director didn't like "the tone" of his mother, when she complained about him being bullied. The same director that locked a 4 year old black girl in a tiny room for not tidying up. During a tiny peaceful protest the 2 mothers held, the school called the police. ☠ This is America. This is racial bias, systemic racism and the white supremacy at work. Please follow the incredible Megan Torres @melanatedrebel_ 🖤 and use #weseeCMEC 😐 in your posts of support.

🖤 Let that one sink in. If you're not scared, you're not paying attention, say the placards. Yeah, we're scared alright. But we also have kids to raise. And how do we talk to them about the future - and ways we can change it - if we're paralyzed with fear? We have to be the grown ups here. 😐 So calmly, confidently, explain things bit by bit as they grow.. but most importantly, always focus on positive actions. Things we can do to make things better. Because if you're faced with all the climate facts at once, as you probably know and feel, it seems hopeless. We obviously can't sugarcoat the #climatecrisis. But we can learn together, to be hopeful. One way I am doing this with my toddler, is with beautiful kids books. Tap the link in our bio for 5 current faves. You don't have to be scared, to be paying attention. 📖📚❤🌎 .

🌎 It’s a funny (aka f*cking terrifying) thing, being a parent in 2019. While we wipe up triple regurgitated pasta and catch feels between poo grenades, we know we have 18 months for governments around the world to pull their grubby fingers out and start to cut emissions enough to keep global temperature rise to safe levels by 2030. What that actually means, is that in 18 months we find how soon we’re going to be extinct. . So we do our best to do the green thing, flipping untold textures out of #reusablenappies and unleashing depressing #plasticfreepartybags. 🎉😐 But equally, we have kids. That’s pretty much the worst thing you can do for the environment. And it’s also the scariest thing, when a safe future is so uncertain. But, because we have kids, we’re invested in that future. So we also have hope... 🖤 it's just impossible to explain it all to them. I've tried and failed. . So like all major life drama that I can’t find the words for myself*, there is always books (*like why we should not hit, potty training, getting a new sister, stopping breastfeeding, starting preschool… you name the drama, we’ve read it). 😎 Books ftw. . Tap the link in our bio to see 5 beautiful books about the impact of humans on our planet, that my toddler Iyra properly engages with, and my baby Zia properly drools on. They are not terrifying, i promise. And let me know which ones I missed below!

Stop scrolling & 😍 at @Katiekreep 💖 She says being a #WokeMama means: "Being aware of the rules and so called 'correct ways' of raising kiddos society has in place, and challenging them. . "It means never going against your own maternal instinct and always trusting your heart with what is best for your children." . Her most awesome moment so far? . "Seeing my daughter grow and develop her own feisty personality, while still having manners. . "I love seeing her wake up beside me every morning with a big ol’ smile and giving me hugs and kisses. . "She knows she is loved and safe with me, and it’s truly the most incredible feeling." . And her biggest struggle so far? . "The #fourthtrimester, or first three months after birth. I had very bad postpartum anxiety, and it affected me, my husband and Scarlett negatively for the first few months. . "To any new mamas facing distressing mental thoughts: don’t be afraid to talk about it or get help!" .

But it's kids, not grandkids tho. "Why is it so hot mum? Look how wet my neck is! Am i melting?" 😔 Extreme weather is the new normal. Summers are going to get hotter and hotter from now on. This is the season to be scared into action. Now. ➡️ Cosume less, reuse more, shout louder. Governments and businesses have no choice but to listen to the masses. We do have the power to change things. And we do have the chance to tell our kids: we tried our best - and we sorted it out.

Zia will be 10 years old when we find out just how bad the climate crisis will be, because that's the window we have left to stop emissions and keep global temperature rise to safe limits. If we don't do it, humans don't have much of a future. Which is why I've been in a bit of a #climategrief hole for way too long. 😔 . But this week watching Extinction Rebellion's #SummerUprising across the UK has made me happy. And I'm psyched about GlobalClimateStrike.net and some other stuff humans are finally doing. And also: the actual possibilities created by having genuine hope. . Tree thuggers 4life. 🌎💚 Cle x_X .

Happy fathers day to all the woke dads out there.. but whether you or your partner is the one in employment, we wana share this beautiful poem by @mother_truths . IT'S DIFFERENT NOW By Karen McMillan He's off to work bearing the weight of the bills Her indoors with 12 hours to fill And up 6 times in the night still Each thinking that the other has struck the better deal Casting up And putting down Petty remarks and resentments abound So much more to disagree about now Negotiating lie-ins that were once spent together Taking turns when one is under the weather Tag-teaming Ships in the night That never-ending relay race Passing the batton for another hour Right, it's your turn now, I'm off for a shower ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But when all's said and done If I could choose anyone to Navigate through This parent hood It would always be you Eavesdropping and smiling at the little chats you have Remembering that actually you're a bloody ace dad But oh remember that bloated adolescence of ours? Carefree and easy Doing nothing for hours And ofcourse I wouldn't change it It's better now we've him I guess what I'm saying is I miss you...a bit #motherhood #ukparentblogger #parentblogger #mumsofinsta #mumsofinstagram#mumlife #firsttimemum #motherhoodunplugged#honestmotherhood #motherhoodunfiltered#mumbloggeruk #mummybloggeruk#motherhoodintheraw #instamum#motherhoodthroughinstagram #momsofinstagram#momlife #momsofinsta #motherhoodrising#mymotherhood #candidmotherhood #workingmum#sahm #mothersofinstagram #storytellingmama#fathersday #fathersday2019

“What started as a peaceful protest has turned into hundreds of lives taken. Women, children and men brutally injured and raped. Over a thousand loved ones missing and an internet blackout to keep the people silent. The situation is Sudan is beyond inhuman. How long will this continue before the international community takes urgent action against such mass outrage and violence?” - @naomi . RG @sanasayed__ More than 70 rapes occurred during an attack on a protest camp in Khartoum, the capital of Sudan. A 6 year old girl has been raped by 10 men. More than 100 people have been killed and 700 have been injured!! We will be questioned about our silence on the day of judgement! You will be held accountable for all the times you turned the other cheek when you saw oppression and injustice and didn’t do anything. . The media are turning a blind eye. Please speak up and help raise awareness by simply changing your profile picture to the blue icon. A protest has also been held by @amalia.achrafi this Saturday, 12 - 3 pm at the Hyde Park, Sydney. One person at a time and eventually there will be over millions of people helping increase awareness. 🇸🇩🇸🇩 #sudan #prayforsudan #sudanmassacre #sudanuprising #iamthesudanrevolution #muslimlivesmatter
