When i became a mum, i decided not to to change the editorial line of my other blog and nor to close it down for good. it seems it has been turning on its own and will probably still do for a while, which is pleasantly surprising.
i have had obviously so much to think about over 9 months creating a life, and around 20 months of trying not to mess it up. But this does not justify writing yet another Motherhood flavoured blog which would smell of baby smell and diapers, look like rainbows and coffee stains, and sound like baby gargles and middle-of-the-night endless tears. Nope i thought i would go beyond it.
There are also thousands of blogs and sites and magazines and websites and books on the topic, and i did not want to add another one to the sea of pinkish bullshit. You got my point: i stocked a proper amount of thinking in my working mum brain, and it appears that it time now to unload before it starts melting.
I've done a fair share of reading of these blogs and other social media accounts, and i realised i could not find myself in any. Right, i love The Unmumsy Mum and Mother Pukka who probably better represent my ideal life balance, but still, something was missing.
So this is it, the background of The Forgotten. Expressing what i think has been missing, or what i've been disagreeing with. Pardon the blah and be indulgent: i haven't had a real night of sleep (i.e. more than 5 hours in a row in my own bed) in 2 years. And feel free of course to comment: there's no point bragging alone in here.
