A cool mum doesn’t go around wearing sunglasses like a celebrity avoiding paparazzi (aka the school run). She doesn’t worry about trends (because she knows what works for her). She listens without fixing and intervenes only when necessary (which is less often than you think). She also knows that most things pass (and that the rest can be handled with a cup of tea and a chat). You secretly know your mum is the coolest mum there is. So treat her on her birthday, or for a Mother’s Day gift, to a Cool Mum 1/2 Pint Mug and let her know that, on balance, she’s doing all right.
