Apologies in advance for the quality of Ed’s sound in this one… small gremlin in the works!

Having a child is arguably the seminal moment in a person or couple’s life. Its undeniably wonderful for all sorts of reasons, but what else can’t be denied are the pressures and challenges that another person in your life can put you, your relationship and a thousand other areas of your life under. So yes, children are a challenge.
