So I write this blog, Married My Sugar daddy, and while I see it as a tongue n cheek chronicle of my experiences being married to a man who is 15 years older than me- if I dig a bit beneath the surface I know that our marriage wasn't an accident by any means.

Being the mother of a daughter, especially as she gets older, gets complicated
As a mother I know my every move is being carefully recorded and dissected by my daughter; my mini-me, my living, breathing shadow.
