Julie Jay

Comedian

Multitask woman. Mother, businesswoman with child, working, coocking and calling. Flat vector.
Julie Jay: I’m back teaching — I’d forgotten how hard it is to work outside the home
So chaotic are mornings with kids that any parent who manages to get to work on time is nothing short of heroic

Group of Children Hugging in Forest
Julie Jay: We may spend the rest of our lives trying to recreate a special weekend

Julie Jay: It’s a drag watching my baby try to crawl, but he’ll get there eventually
As he shuffles from A to B at a glacial pace, it turns out our one year old isn’t the only one embracing their sloth era

Festival Love
Julie Jay: I can't imagine anything worse than bringing my kids to a festival
People debate whether or not festivals are the right place for children, but the truth is anything is enjoyable for kids once they feel safe and heard on what is a unique and truly enriching adventure

Woman watering flowers.
Julie Jay: Even reading about families with eight children has me googling vasectomy clinics in Kerry
A recent newspaper interview with well-known influencer Hannah Neeleman has many people questioning the trad wife phenomenon and just how aspirational it really is

Cute little boy sitting on the beach in sunset
Julie Jay: After dinner is the perfect time to enjoy an Irish beach with your kids
... convincing the kids it’s time to go home is also never a problem, because the sun going down signals the jig is up and that tomorrow is another day

Tue, 23 Jul, 2024

Children's drawing workshop, happy children make handprints with paint.
Julie Jay: Is it necessary for parents to bring out their child’s inner Don Conroy?
"My ‘suggested feed’ is a litany of crafty mammies going above and beyond to make sure their child doesn’t have to suffer one nano-second of boredom."

Tue, 16 Jul, 2024

Happy little kid boy jumping on rainy puddle in autumn on nature
Julie Jay: Irish holidays remind us that our job as parents is to make the best of it
When you’re a parent on holiday your job is to be optimistic to the point of full-on delusion
