Parenting in 2012 ...


Me: "Right guys. What do you fancy doing today?"

Blondie Son: "I know.  How about I try and play Xbox for 10 hours straight without vomiting?"

Me: "NOOOOOOOOOOO!"

There was a twinkle in his eye but I swear he meant it.

  3. My middle son's standard response to questions like that is: 'I want to poo on mummy's head'. Vomit? Poo? Maybe it's a boy thing...

  12. Happy New Year! I laughed out loud - it touched a chord with me too. Ruth would spend every waking moment on some form of computer gadget if I let her!
    Btw, I am hoping my boredom with crochet is only temporary as I am half way through a blanket, but I think a change is as good as a rest, so I'm all for the knitting at the mo!! XX
