Are You Afraid?
Click to visit the Siren Stories website and read more work by J.J. Barnes and check out her latest novels. The last two weeks have seen multiple terrorist attacks across Britain. The national narrative is that of sorrow but defiance and strength. We are not afraid. But I am. I’m confessing something we should not be admitting to. I am afraid. When I woke up this morning, at an unfathomably…

Click to visit the Siren Stories website and read more work by J.J. Barnes and check out her latest novels. My little girl has always been good at putting things back in shops. She’ll find things she wants or likes and I tell her no so she puts them back on the shelf and we move on. I’ve never had a lot of money as a parent, and I’ve always been cautious with money, so she’s never become…

Raising Children With A Sex Not A Gender
Raising Children With A Sex Not A Gender
Click to visit the Siren Stories website and read more work by J.J. Barnes and check out her latest novels. I’m raising my children to know their sex, not their gender. To explain I’ll describe what I mean by each. Their sex is what they are. The girls have vaginas and XX chromosomes, the boy has a penis and XY chromosomes. Obviously there are other physiological differences but that’s the…

Strength In Numbers
Click to visit the Siren Stories website and read more work by J.J. Barnes and check out her latest novels. When a famous man is accused of sexual abuse crimes and rape, it always seems that once one woman has made an accusation, others come forward with similar tales of abuse. It has happened in high profile cases, the Jimmy Saville and Bill Cosby type cases, time and time again and it is…

I Believe In The Sisterhood
Click to visit the Siren Stories website and read more work by J.J. Barnes and check out her latest novels. When a woman says she doesn’t think anyone will believe her, it is almost always when she’s speaking out against a man. And pretty much always against a man with power and influence. For some reason, the mass opinion of society is that a man with power and influence is far more likely to…

Kids Can Be Cruel
Kids Can Be Cruel
Click to visit the Siren Stories website and read more work by J.J. Barnes and check out her latest novels. One of the benefits of growing up with siblings is that you have someone to torture, who abuses you right back, in a safe space where you know you are loved. You learn how to hurt and why you shouldn’t, and you learn how to survive hurt caused by another. Growing up my baby brother and I…

Mummy’s Only Human
Click to visit the Siren Stories website and read more work by J.J. Barnes and check out her latest novels. As a mother I feel I should be impenetrable. I should be strong as a rock. I should take anything my children throw at me and handle it without a flinch, because I am a mother. But I’m not a rock. I’m not impenetrable. I flinch. Sometimes I flinch more than I do at other times. I’m…

The Girl Next Door
Click to visit the Siren Stories website and read more work by J.J. Barnes and check out her latest novels. I was a romantic child.

Triggered By My Children
Click to visit the Siren Stories website and read more work by J.J. Barnes and check out her latest novels. People like to joke about the word “triggered”. It’s a big laugh about lefty liberals being mentally weak and unable to take criticism, unable to take a joke. It’s used as a criticism. To mock people. It is not a joke. It is especially not a joke when the person doing the triggering is…

Click to visit the Siren Stories website and read more work by J.J. Barnes and check out her latest novels. The idea of a children’s birthday party fills me with horror. The idea of a soft play centre on a busy Saturday makes my teeth hurt. The idea of socialising with school gate mums who, quite frankly, terrify me is traumatic. On Saturday we took Miss Rose and Z to a children’s birthday…

When I say “we” I really mean “I” but he gives me his full support when I make decisions like this so I’m lumping him in with me. I decided we would start on March 1st. When she was smaller she spent much of her…
