BBC Breakfast Mother’s Day Video

Chris McGuire lost his mum when he was 20
For some Mother’s Day can be a difficult day, as it reminds them of what they’ve lost. For Out of Depth Dad blogger Chris McGuire, who lost his mum when he was 20, it wasn’t until the birth of his own son that he was able to find a way to celebrate the day again.

Here’s my latest for @eastern_daily_press all about the joy of taking down the #christmastree. “Putting up a Christmas tree is a joyous occasion, filled with optimistic hope for fun times ahead. The tree will be the centre of merriment during this, most festive, time of year. Under its branches gifts find shelter until the morning of the 25th when they’re unceremoniously stripped of their wrapping paper and chucked into the two piles of present destiny: “Keepers” and “Re-gifters”. It’s during their time under the tree that gifts are at their most exciting – perfect in their mysterious form. Like Schrödinger’s cat, they’re everything at once, the latest gadget, the perfect jewellery, the toy of the moment – it’s only when the box is opened that the spell is broken and the deodorant gift set is revealed.” #Christmas #parenthood #newspapercolumn #12thnight #January #januaryblues

My latest for @eastern_daily_press all about my #resolution not to make #newyearsresolutions “So, Christmas Day and Boxing Day have gone, and many of us have, no doubt, over indulged. Why? We enjoy it, and, frankly, because we’re told that’s what we’re supposed to do. I’m no saint, I may have popped a few Pringles (Sour Cream and Chive are a favourite) and sipped several drams of inexpensively blended whisky myself. All very lovely and pleasant. But now, like the hangover from Hell, comes all this ‘January’ stuff. For some reason, it’s the time of year when, across the nation, we’re supposed to join in with a period of self-flagellation neatly combined with a hearty dose of self-deception.” #newyear2020 #outofdepthdad
