5 Years Into Life As A Parent, 11 Things I Wish Id Known From The Start The baby I've been bringing up is now five. He can chop carrots and name different types of beetle and do up the velcro on his shoes. I have written more than 130 columns about the wild, endless, everyday wonder of being a parent. And I still have so, so much more to say. Because there is still so, so much to do. And enjoy. And rail against. And learn. What you learn will vary, of course. And it will probably be different depending on whether you are a birth parent, an adoptive parent, a co-parent, a single parent, an older parent, a parent with paid work, a religious parent, a parent of twins, of a newborn, a parent who has experienced pregnancy loss, a parent with a car, a disabled parent, a parent with a dishwasher or a parent who uses the phrase "the days are long but the months are short".

Not just a baby, a child, a person I loved with a fever, but a companion. Someone I could talk with. Someone who could make his needs known. Someone who would make me laugh and explain his rages and ask amazing questions like: "Why do you smell like onions?"

WorkWorkKefalonia claims the title of best Greek island in Which? Travel surveyVisitors said the beaches are packed in summer and lined with speakers playing loud dance music, so gave it just one star for peace and quiet.

It adds that with a decent chance of living into your 90s, those in good health who can boost their state pension "could benefit handsomely by doing so".
