Do My Childless Friends Hate Me Now That I’m a Mum?

September 1, 2015

I’ve been hearing a lot of women talking smack about mothers lately. It started with a comment on the SBS show Insight, where having children was described as “a way of feeling like you’ve achieved a lot in life without doing much” and really snowballed with Soraya Roberts’s brilliantly written but utterly annoying story “How My Best Friend’s Baby Pulled Us Apart.”…

Jade Warne is the Hipster Mum, the eldest daughter in a family of 14 children raised by nuns on the beaches of Sydney, Australia. Just kidding! There were actually only seven of them, all raised by the kind of super-mum who makes nuns look like slackers: entrepreneurial, talented, kind, beautiful, and scandalously stylish. As the high-powered (read: high-strung) kid of the bunch, she studied finance and pitched stories to magazines on the side, eventually winding up at Marie Claire and Women's Health. These days, she offers a creative guide to parenting at Hipster Mum. Check out Hipster Mum on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and get liking already!
