#6: Patent Envy

I’ve been in this parenting game for just over three years and by Christ, it’s a limitless industry. You make it, and mums will generally throw money at it in the hope that something will eventually stick and solve a problem that may or may not exist. Hold a photo competition on your product’s Facebook page and you’re basically home and dry.

I’ve bought a lot of stuff in the vain hope of making life easier as a mum (top and tail bowls serve NO USE in my opinion). But there are some amazing things out there that I wish wish wish I’d thought of – if I did, I reckon I’d be a legit adult by now and own my four walls and drive an Audi TT. Here are my faves, in no particular order.
