By Annette McLeod Verified| Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) Verified My son dropped his first f-bomb when he was five-years-old. We were walking across a street in Vancouver, and he came bounding up behind us hollering, “Run for your f--king lives!” I collapsed with laughter. It was so random, so out of the blue and I was frankly delighted that he’d inherited or acquired the McLeod clan's oddball sense of humour. Even my partner found it hysterical. On the other hand, my sister-in-law was mortified. I likely swear more than a lot of the suburban moms you know.
By Annette McLeod Verified| Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) Verified I was always ambivalent about having children. Then, at 39, my biological clock exploded. Although I didn’t think my partner of more than a decade and I really had our you-know-what together, I knew he’d be a good father and he’d wanted children for a long time. I was a suddenly a slave to the bone-deep desire to have a baby. We got lucky — pregnant practically as soon as we agreed to try, a drama-free pregnancy resulting in a perfectly healthy, beautiful baby boy. Mama’s little only child.
