Hi all
So this would be my first post but I've blogged before. I was a mummy blogger back in the heyday of those but after a lengthy hiatus I came back but now I don't feel like a mummy blogger anymore, the little darlings are 19 and 15 and I've changed. So the idea is to move away from that one and blog here only (I'm sure there is some way of archiving the old blog and when I've worked it out!).
So I guess the question everyones wondering is (or you might not be maybe I'm just nosy) why should we be a parsnip.
Its a saying round here that one, one of my sayings. Lets roll back a few years, when my eldest told me they were not a girl or a boy anymore but felt like neither and sometimes like both. Basically they told me they were non binary and although it was a shock for a bit what did I tell them. I told them I'd love them whatever they were they could be a parsnip and I would still love them.
The phase has been used since - to my other child who told me she liked girls - again be a parsnip be anything you want I still love you.
Its so much of a thing that even my man doesnt get away from it, I mean he got a Parsnip for Christmas.
It's hard being a mummy blogger and having the kids grow up! lol. I started when my girls were 11 and 6, I think. They're almost 21 and 16 now. Thankfully a few years ago we moved house and I used to be Northumberland Mam and as we didn't live in Northumberland I needed a name change which was less mummy!
ReplyDeleteI love your new blog name, it's something different! My youngest said for a time she was non binary and I said she could be a sandwich and I would still love them. lol
I'm sure I used to read your blog in the past. Definitely should have thought of the whole name thing when I wrote it at the start. The whole gender issue is so different than when I was a child and it took a while to get used to but we've got there now and I love my parsnips
