Jo also blogs as [www.slummysinglemummy.wordpress.com] Slummy Single Mummy about the high and lows of parenting alone, with what she hopes is a sense of humour with just a dash of experienced parent cynicism. If you have ever worried about your hands-off parenting style, sent a teenager to school in the rain because you don’t want to lend them your coat, or hidden your dirty dishes in the cupboard, then Jo’s down to earth family management style is sure to appeal.
