January
Do you want to know something really amusing? I have no idea why I am writing this book, posting this blog, or working out how to make it a vlog or podcast. The idea originally stemmed from a conversation with a friend of ours, a child counsellor, yet it sparked a few embers in my mind.
I need to make a few points very clear, now, right from the beginning.
This IS NOT a self-help manual.
This IS NOT a guide on how to be a parent.
This IS NOT a guide on how to be a better parent.
This IS NOT full of chapters with detailed instructions on how to survive your life in parenthood.
I want to say it isn't going to take you out of a bad situation and put you in a great one, however, I can't actually know if those words will turn out to be true. You might read it and gain an amazing insight, decide to try a different method of approach when faced with a problem, or say, “At least I'm not the only one.”
The change of tactics could solve it, or overcome an obstacle in your life. It happens. Perhaps, although again I can't be certain, knowing you are not alone will be enough.
You may feel less lost.
You may realise it isn't only you and your world. There are others.
The grass isn't always greener, and, this part is true, we all hide it from each other. We do. The school playground, the chat in town, or the posts on social media. We smile, we tell everyone we're okay, life is good, life is great. Not always the truth, though, is it? More often than not, it's easier to put on the mask than show the real face.
I probably, almost-definitely-but-can’t-be-sure, had the idea of this format for the project during the month of December.
A whole year. A whole account of one year in the life of a family. The wonderful beyond your wildest dreams, and the worst, most frustrating, upsetting times.
Thank you, reader, in advance, if you join me.
Excerpt from the 10th of March ...
Side note. All I hear about at the moment is the coronavirus. I'm not worrying, not yet, although it has struck nearby, if the news is to be believed. Apparently, local supermarkets have been cleared of certain items as well. The panic buying has already begun. Sometimes, it's difficult to keep the worries away.
Excerpt from the 30th of March ...
I believe the world will be more altruistic once we have battled through the virus. All the humanitarian acts of kindness, all the support, all the community strength, they will remain with people. I try to live an altruistic life, and it can be so rewarding, even addictive. Humanity will remember how it felt to help others, how it felt to change the life of someone with even a moment of thought and care.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
