I wonder when is it appropriate to turn the other cheek. Are we too busy with our own life that we either walk past or something we shouldn’t? The other morning I was driving my kids to school I noticed two boys in the car in front taunting another kid who was walking along beside their car (we were going very slow due to congestion). You could tell the boys in front were the “popular” boys. They...

As you know I have been struggling a bit trying to keep up with all of this I.M stuff of late so I am so happy and excited to introduce you to “I.M 2″ Kelly and I are very similar in many ways and very different in others. We we are a bit of a yin and yang. Kelly is the pure one ha ha (if you know what I mean). What I love about her is she never judges me, she always accepts me for who I am. I...

I attended a parent / teacher information last night. And to be honest really didn’t feel like going. After picking the kids up and getting home the last thing I felt like doing was taking myself back there. But I did and I’m happy about it. Look I’m going to cut to the chase. Working in an educational business I am mostly impressed by the amount of parents that come in looking for resources to...

My friend has lost her husband, suddenly, unexpectedly. They were moving back home (Cairns) to be with his Mother as she was not coping with the death of her husband just 6 weeks before. They wanted to be here to support her and be there for her. They spent their last night together at their going away party laughing and having fun. The next morning she tried to wake him and he never woke.. That...

From the moment our kids were born we have spoken about their big brother in heaven. It was very important to my husband and I that Titan’s memory lived on and that Maya and Tex knew as much as they possibly could about their big brother. At various ages we covered his death and funeral and tried the best we could to answer question they may have. We were driving along the other day and Maya...

Firstly I would like to start by thanking the beautiful sisterhood of Imperfect Mum’s for coming together to help me write this. I myself have been with my husband since I was 16. We have been together more years than we have been apart, a total of 19 years in fact. We have shared many ups and downs but are very blessed to be still very much in love. 1. Talk, talk, talk, talk Communication is an...

My reasons for starting The Imperfect Mum was because I felt there was a need for a place safe place where Mums could talk, engage and relate to the imperfectness of motherhood without the fear of judgment. My wish has come true and I have had the blessing of such a beautiful community of Imperfect Mum’s - judgment free and so supportive. We have openly talked about mental health and I know this...

Do you ever find your eyes watching other Mother’s and hear a little voice in your head saying… “She is so so much better at this whole motherhood thing than me” -Chances are she has looked at you and thought the same.. I know this, my conscious mind knows this, I’m confident generally self-assured but sometimes I just feel so hopeless at this Motherhood gig. It’s me judging me. It’s like I’m not...

Really??… Really.. I think it’s nasty that you don’t. This is a post written by a fellow Imperfect Mum. Who has 3 children, one with Aspergers one with ADHD. I find it really alarming the amount of parents who struggle with their child being completely out of hand. It’s your first child and you love them so much that you can’t bring yourself to “be nasty” to them and that’s awesome. However, it’s...
