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

Eid Mubarak! We're celebrating by telling trump we don't want his hate in our country. 🤬 Am so lucky to be able to spend maternity leave protesting stuff like this on a Tuesday. ✊✊🏾 Yer know stuff like racism, sexism and human extinction.. which is all being accelerated by one of the most most powerful people (with the tiniest hands) on the planet.🍊 Despite the rain, thousands turned up to march to Parliament Square and make as much noise as possible during his press conference there 📣 and drown out his cries of fake news. 🙄 Cus we won't stop shouting until the UK government says it's gona #DumpTrump 💩 - Cle x_X

Poor Carol genuinely believes all that antibody creating, immune system protecting, enzyme and white blood cell providing #breastmilk should stay where it belongs - out of baby and toddler tummies and way out of sight, preferably on the top shelf with all the lads mags. Who needs all that covfefe eh. 🍉🍉🥛🥛 . . . #normalisebreastfeeding #normalizebreastfeeding #breastfeedingrocks #breastisnormal #fulltermbreastfeeding #breastfedtoddler #breastfednewborn #attachmentparenting #gentleparenting #consciousparenting #responsiveparenting #ibreastfeed #wokemama #wokemamas #breastfed #lactivist #andwhat

You need to see this pic by @hurrahforgin & read this poem by @mother_truths every day... 💔💔❤❤ . JUST STOP IT By Karen McMillan . Oh so Harry's self-settling and sleeping through now You just kiss him and turn out the light? Casey still needs boobing and rocking to sleep And then is up 6 times in the night . Is Josh in his big boy bed yet? Yes? Aww you must be so proud Casey's still wearing his grobags Should he be using a duvet by now? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And how's Isla with her food these days? Casey's a real fusspot He's lost so much weight with this gastro then flu And he refuses dinner a lot .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And how many words does Oli know now? Casey says "hi" "bye" and everything's "blue" Apparently he should know over 200 by the time he reaches two . How's Luna with brushing her teeth? Well Casey's an absolute mare And back teeth? Forget it! He clamps his mouth shut There's no way I'm getting back there . What time does Benji go down for his nap? Do you let him sleep after three? People say he'd wake less in the night But I need that time for me . So how's Charlie getting on at nursery? He's coming on leaps and bounds I worry that Casey gets bored with just me and that he's really missing out . Just stop it mummy What are you doing? Don't be silly I just need you Your love and your hugs An occasional dip in the tub ...and maybe a biscuit or two? Yes you're so right, I'm missing it all You're not a percentile A schedule A chart . You're not what you CAN and CAN'T do . I'm sorry my love I got lost in the noise when I should just enjoy the unique and the wonderful YOU . #motherhood #ukparentblogger #parentblogger #mumsofinsta #mumsofinstagram#mumlife #firsttimemum #motherhoodunplugged#honestmotherhood #motherhoodunfiltered#mumbloggeruk #mummybloggeruk#motherhoodintheraw #poetry #poetryofinstagram#instamum #motherhoodthroughinstagram#momsofinstagram #momlife #momsofinsta#unitedinmotherhood #motherhoodrising#mymotherhood #realmotherhood#motherhoodjourney #makingovermotherhood#ukmum #ukmummyblogger #letthembelittle#honestparenting

Tfw ur winning at mama 2.0 😍❤🏆 #WokeMama Chaneen RG @chaneensaliee Our first tandem feed ✨ . For those of you that know how much of a breastfeeding advocate I have become will know that I will remember this as one of my greatest accomplishments. ✨ . Breastfeeding is not easy, and it’s not something so common in this country. So when, just two years ago, I was unaware that breasts are there to breastfeed babies rather than ... fiddle with (haha) I was super stoked to be bottle shopping and formula researching. Until I was invited to a breastfeeding class by my midwife which taught me all of the secrets of breastfeeding and breast milk. . When I was continuously praised on my travels in Africa, Rwanda for ‘still’ ‘feeding my baby the natural way despite being British’ (whatever that means - lol) I was certain that following my instincts and feeding both my girls this way is the right thing for me to do. . I feel so blessed to have been given the knowledge and the support in good time for me to have allowed this path to unfold the way that it has. . Anyway, I’m feeling pretty proud of myself, if you can’t tell 😉 wish me luck x . #breastfeeding #tandemfeeding #twoundertwo #mindfulmothering #mindfulparenting #consciousmom #consciousparenting #gentleparenting #attachmentparenting #parenting #londonblogger #normalisebreastfeeding #normalizebreastfeeding #breastisnormal #breastfedtoddler #breastfednewborn #womenrock

❤👏 We need good news like this to #normalisebreastfeeding EVERYWHERE. In India, less than 50% of children are breastfed within an hour of birth & the rate of exclusive breastfeeding in the first six months is 55%. (@times_of_india) In the UK, it's also not looking so hot - about 80% of women start breastfeeding at birth, but by the end of the first week, over half of those babies have had formula in some way. In fact, according to a Lancet report the UK has the lowest rate of breastfeeding in the world, with only 1 in 200 women breastfeeding their children after they reach their 1st birthday.

"I guard his energy with a love as fierce as only a mother can, but still encourage him to have his own experiences and make his own way. . "Ultimately, he is part of the new generation of children that will help raise the vibration of this world, and I’m damn well gonna support him in doing so!" .
