Who manages the back to school business in your household? And, if it is you as the mother, have you ever stopped to consider – why?

This Christmas, I for one am making an effort to stop doing everything ‘perfectly’ and instead focusing on ‘good enough’.

Rigid gender stereotypes are still being embedded in the uniforms students, especially at private and religious schools.

True gender equality happens when dads don’t get extra credit for being present parents – when it’s simply expected and normalised.

It’s that time of year again – when parents (or, probably more to the point, mums) around the country are frantically warming the hot glue guns and rummaging through dress up boxes in search of an outfit that will pass for book week.
