‘Four maternity leaves took an unimaginable toll on my life’
More than £70,000. That’s the basic cost of raising a child to the age of 18 for couples in the UK, according to the Child Poverty Action Group’s latest “Cost of a Child” report. More than £70,000 per child, that is. Throw in additional expenses like food – which, somewhat bizarrely, isn’t classed as a basic cost – and childcare and that figure rises to more than £150,000 per child. Or £600,000 if you’re a mum of four like me.

I was a chubby child – so I know what not to say to one
My heart sank when I read that 1,000 kids aged two to eight are about to get ‘diet coaches’ on the NHS. Poor little bleeders! It’s not their fault they’ve been stuffed full of cheap processed food and shoved in front of screens by busy parents during the pandemic. And now the well-meaning but misguided NHS is going to force-feed them diet sheets, weigh-ins and lorry loads of shame. Believe me, it won’t work.
