Julie Jay: Partners to parents — like trying to climb a mountain in a pair of flip-flops

Former TV presenter and Supernanny recently expressed her belief that parents shouldn’t blame their kids for their problems, but the reality is parenting is the biggest test for any relationship

Going from partners to parents is like attempting to climb a mountain in a pair of flip-flops — a dicey endeavour, made even more arduous by the unsteady terrain.

Recently, a friend asked for divorce lawyer recommendations on her Instagram stories. “If you hear of any two-for-one deal, let me know,” I responded at 10pm. 

Of course, she didn’t answer until business hours because, unlike me, this woman has boundaries and etiquette in spades.
