One of the great parts of my job is having a chance to moan about all things to do with parenting. As a parent myself I know how frustrating it can be when everyone else seems to know how to be a better parent than you.

This came up recently with the "mums being terrified to breastfeed in public" story. I cringed when I read about this and was lucky to have the chance to react on Mix 96 radio. It did however make me think, that if I felt like that, that you might too. So, with this in mind, I would like to ask you if you would like a MOAN! Drop me a line with your "parenting moan" and I will put them together for you all to read and share. You can write about a personal experience, expert advice that you don't agree with or just something that frustrates you - as you might not be alone.

So to get that niggle of your chest E-mail me NOW! with your biggest moan, gripe, or whatever gets your blood boiling about being a parent.
