You’re making a terrible mistake,” he said. I’d been thinking about it for a while after a friend went caffeine-free and, in her words, “stopped being so ratty and shouty towards the kids.” After a busy year, I had been feeling the same way: slightly jittery and utterly exhausted.   Like most busy working parents, I was using coffee as a sticking plaster for an overly hectic life.
