Hehe, I don’t want (her) to get that old either!

The “yeah” stage was how Ramona and my niece started… On that basis, I’d say you’re not far off! x

Comment on Free papers: a masterclass in misogyny by alexandragoldstein

Indeed, anyone can be patronising. I would say ‘mansplaining’ is a particularly irksome brand of it where women point out something sexist and men try and argue it away while condescendingly ignoring women’s experiences.

Based on what I could uarndstned from your explanation men tend to mansplain to other men as well but it’s called a conversation few take offense. Aren’t you talking about someone who is being insensitive and condescending or is this a special brand of it?

This is lovely, I can’t wait for the communication stage to start in our house though E is more and more vocal every day, chatting nonsense and making animal noises. She does say ‘yeah’ a lot though and we have lots of fun seeing what random questions she’ll respond to with ‘yeah’!

You mentioning visiting universities almost made me well up! I don’t want them to get that old!!

She sounds such amazing fun. Will admit to being a teeny bit jealous of your nighttimes though. Happy 1.5 birthday to Ramona x

I don’t want to know! For once, I have no interest in critiquing. I just got utterly swept away in it the way I very rarely do (so often hyped films are completely overrated — e.g. The Social Network and I had an uneasy relationship.) It was WONDERFUL. And I was really glad all I knew going in was that it was a silent, black and white film people seem to like. I had no idea I’d enjoy it so darn much. I’ll be really surprised if I see another film that good this year. But here’s hoping.

This year I am also venturing more into the kitchen. My husband LOVES to cook and he has been doing so since Little M was born. But now I have to step up and get in there. I’m kind of scared, but I just have to jump in. And I like that you vow to enjoy food and not obsess about it the wrong way.
