Dear readers, I have a confession. As well as being a gender deviant, single parent, I’m also a newly converted vegan.
Last week my Small Boy was off school with conjunctivitis. He wasted no time in sharing his gammy swollen eyes and general sense of misery with the person required to make him better: me. That’s the thing about kids that the smug Instagram posts and sponsored blogs don’t quite let on; you give them your waistline, your heart, and your ability to laugh without surreptitiously checking you haven’t pissed a bit, and they give you fevers, bugs, rashes, nits and conjunctivitis. Seems fair.
