Hubby can’t Alp himself

CAPTION: DYDYDYDY

SHOWER While I love it when my kids try new things, I sometimes find their sense of adventure rather traumatic – and it doesn’t help when hubby colludes with them!

This half-term, we took the kids skiing. My other half is a snowboarder and has dreamed of sloping off with our son Zac.

I made the perfectly reasonable requests that they don’t go off piste and that they stick together. So imagine my delight when they came back and my son chirped: “Daddy let me go off piste and took me on all the black runs!”

I watched a clip, heart in mouth, as my 10-year-old whizzed down a sheer drop, filmed from afar by his dad.

I had words with dear hubby. Why can’t they bond by having their nails done in a spa like me and my daughter?

We’re constantly bombarded with stars’ heavily edited, airbrushed and photoshopped images on social media, so the #makeupfree and #Januhairy movements are rather refreshing.

Bravely posting pics of their spots and hairy armpits shows they’re mere mortals under all that fake glitz and glamour.

But Lily Allen got a bit too “real” when she shared a video of her having her nipple hairs plucked before a Brits after party. If that’s what we have to do in order to prove how feminist we are – pluck me out!
