Ashley Stock announced on Instagram the birth of her baby girl, Benny May Stock, via surrogacy after her earlier daughter's tragic passing five years ago. She expressed overwhelming love and joy for her new child's arrival.
As a parent, you spend a lot of time in waiting rooms. It starts in the maternity hospital, then the public health nurse, then the GP, the dentist, maybe the school principal a couple of times if you are blessed with an especially terrible child.
Parents experience mixed feelings when school ends for the summer. On the one hand, there are no more early morning wake-up calls, last minute panics over forgotten homework, lost PE kit or the sudden realisation that the deadline for that history project is imminent.
"Really liking most of the trends and hope I live long enough to see how these littles fare in adulthood. I do notice the majority of today's children aren't emotionally regulated enough to use passable manners in restaurants..." - Ream J.
