The strength of a parent

May 4, 2016

The original title of this post, was going to be the strength of a mother. Mainly because I’m a mum and I wanted to get my view, as a mum across. However, it dawned on me that both mums and dads have to have an amazing amount of strength during the toughest times of parenthood.

It’s not something you really think about when planning for a baby, or during pregnancy and the early days I guess, but when the unexpected happens, mums and dads somehow manage to dig deep and muster up all of this strength that they probably didn’t even know they had.
For some, that strength that will be tested during the early days, whereas for others it may not be until a few years in. 
Our twins were born premature and went through quite a bit in their first few days of life so we’ve definitely had our strength tested from very early on.



Now at four years old, we’ve certainly been through a lot. 

Hospital admissions, falls and tantrums, it all takes an enormous amount of strength  for mum and dad. Whether it’s putting a brave face on or simply standing up for something you feel strongly about, mums and dads really are superheroes.

I started Twin Mummy and Daddy in 2012.  

Over time Twin Mummy and Daddy has gone from strength to strength. I write about our family life, my love for running and our passion for adventure and travel.  

We’ve also started living a more eco-friendly life. As such I also write about our zero waste journey in a bid to encourage others to think about the impact they have on the environment.

I’m a keen runner and in April 2019 I ran the London Marathon for an amazing charity called WellChild. It’s one of my biggest achievements to date. I raised over £2,000 for the charity and learnt so much along the way.

This year we’re passionate about spending time outdoors. We’ll be sharing our travel, days out and camping adventures right here on Twin Mummy and Daddy.

    You seem to both be doing a fantastic job at being a mom and dad. Kids really do see their parents as being their hero x

    You should be very proud of yourselves. I am not a parent yet but I know it is one of the most challenging and rewarding things we can do as a human so when you have been tested like you have and overcome everything then yes, you should be proud. I love those photos too. So cute!
