One of my biggest concerns as a parent is online safety. I have real concerns about cyberbullying, not to mention when the kids are a bit older, using social media networks and saying something publicly or publishing a picture that somehow lands them in trouble.
If you were to put together a list of family-friendly activities, how near the top would you place: “A day’s motor racing?” It probably wouldn’t rank that highly and I confess that it wouldn’t have made my top 10 or even my top 20.
We all know childcare is expensive. I, however, have decided to find out just how expensive by working out how much my family has spent over the past eight years.
In theory, it’s going to be a good few years until my daughters hit their teenaged years and puberty. In reality I know it’s going to come around very quickly and Mrs Adams and I, like other mums and dads, will be very grateful of all the help we can get.
If there’s one group of individuals I’ve always felt concern for, it’s young parents. Some research just published by Leeds Beckett University confirms such sentiments are not misplaced, certainly when it comes to dads.
