Mother says she regrets having a baby as she misses Netflix
A new mother has spoken about her experiences bringing up a child, and admitted that she misses a lot of things about her life before. An unnamed woman took to Mumsnet to share her honest feelings about bringing up a baby, saying that she wishes she could relax and watch Netflix without having to worry about keeping an eye on the child. "My baby is 10 months old, she wrote (via the Daily Mail). “I love her more than anything in the world. "I constantly worry about something bad happening to her. She is a lovely, bright, happy, sweet, and quite an independent child.” She went on to say: ”But I just can’t shake the feeling that I regret having her. I just want to go back to my old life. "I had a quiet, peaceful, unexciting life, and that’s what I like.” The woman added: ”I’m a very introverted, self-contained person and I was always happy just being by myself, working from home, watching Netflix in the evenings, enjoying nature, having dinner out now and again. Maybe a holiday once in a while." The woman summed up her thoughts by saying: “I know having an older child will bring its own difficulties, but I’m wondering if I’ll enjoy it more once I can reason with her a bit and she can entertain herself more?" The post gained a lot of attention and sparked a host of comments from users. One wrote: "Once you don't have to watch every single thing they do, and they actually want to do quite fun things with you, it definitely gets better." Another said: "'It gets much easier when you can communicate with them two ways. It won't be like this forever, I promise."

On This Day in 2017 – Everton’s Oumar Niasse hit with retrospective diving ban
Everton striker Oumar Niasse became the first Premier League player to be hit with a retrospective suspension for diving on this day in 2017. The Senegal international was handed a two-match ban by the Football Association after winning a controversial penalty, under pressure from Scott Dann, in a 2-2 draw with Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park. Niasse’s punishment came six months after the FA voted in favour of introducing new laws in an attempt to clamp down on players diving or feigning injury. Everton caretaker boss David Unsworth felt a “dangerous precedent” could be set by the sanction. “I think these people (the FA) will be very busy,” he said. “He (Niasse) was shocked and I was shocked (by the charge). “It’s a dangerous precedent that could be set if decisions are given against you which are debatable.” Niasse denied he had “committed an act of simulation” which led to a spot-kick being awarded in the fifth minute of the game in south London. But he was found guilty by the FA’s Independent Regulatory Commission, which includes former players. Leighton Baines converted the contentious penalty to cancel out James McArthur’s early opener before Niasse earned Everton a point by equalising following a goal from Eagles forward Wilfried Zaha. Palace boss Roy Hodgson said: “My only satisfaction is that the FA and the people who make those decisions have sided with me rather than the player.” Read More Performing under pressure – remembering England’s dramatic 2003 World Cup win Jason Robinson has yet to watch a rerun of England’s World Cup success Rob Page draws on play-off experience after Wales miss out on Euro qualification
