I don't want to be a good mum...

I don’t want to be a good mum…

So. I’m in the middle of planning Mr E’s 4th birthday party; and after making a gazillion capes and masks and games etc I had someone comment to me ‘oh your such a good mum, doing all this!’ It made me think- so if I didn’t go to all this effort and just had a bbq in the backyard, would that make me a bad mum? Mr K is turning 6 in December and has his heart set on a party at McDonalds- if we do…

My brother is a pushy A-Hole but I love him..

So I know I don’t blog very much, but hey I’m new at this. Cut me some slack.. My brother actually started all this WordPress/Twitter/Tumblr stuff for me, he seems to find my views on life and my kids pretty funny so he thought I should share with the masses. He calls himself my ‘Social Media Manager’. I call him a Pushy A hole who tells me off constantly for not posting something on one of my…

If superheroes were in the bible..

It’s Book week for my son in a few weeks and his class has picked religion as its theme, so all the kids get to dress up as someone from the Bible. I was discussing it with Mr K trying to see who he would like to be; but upon hearing the news that Jesus and just about everyone else in the bible had beards he decided he wanted no part of it. I told him to think about it and we will chat later. 5…

Would you just re-pave the damn road already?

Dear Local Council,

Please stop wasting my hard earned tax dollars creating a patchwork road along my street. I would be willing to bet you have spent more money on wages for the workers standing around ‘fixing’ our road than it would cost to replace the bloody thing. Please just give up and admit it needs to be replaced instead of sending out these idiots to patch it up every day.

Regards,

A…

My son may end up driving me to drink

That may sound a bit harsh, but I’m sure out there the mothers of other independent, strongly willed 3 yr olds are agreeing with me. My eldest child went through the terrible twos and threes, and at the time I thought MY GOD! WHAT HAVE I GOTTEN MYSELF INTO??! Then he grew I out of it, quite fast too, and is now (90% of the time) a polite, well mannered,thoughtful and helpful 5 yr old.(the other…

Super Pooper. ..

Calling out to all mummies- have you had a baby that does ‘super poops’? You know, the ones that are so massive and messy that they shoot out the back and front of the nappy and end up in their hair, ones that you literally have to give them a bath and throw out the clothes they were in because there is just no hope of getting all that poo out? My daughter is becoming an expert in the art of…

Growing old..

As I get older (I am now the fantastically ancient age of 26) I find I’m doing and saying things more and more that I have always associated with Old people. Like wrinkly I was in world War 2 Old people. For example,every morning when I wake up I can’t get up and get stuck into the day like I used to, if I don’t sit for 10 minutes and have my coffee first then prepare to experience the Nuclear…

I think my eyelashes are broken..

They are really not doing their job. If they were a soccer goalie they would lose their team the game. If they were a tennis racket they’d never touch the ball. It’s like they have just decided in the last day or so- time out!! We’re on holiday. And then buggered off to Hawaii without organizing a fill in. I imagine I feel like Britney Spears Publicist did when she had her umbrella weilding…

I fear my son has lost his 'funny'...

I fear my son has lost his ‘funny’…

For 4 of his 5.5 years, Mr K has been keeping me on my toes with his highly amusing sense of humor, but for a few weeks now he has been minus his usual funny charm..Mr E is still full of great little nuggets of joy but Mr K appears to have become more serious about life. I am putting it down to him being a big school boy now- but I really hope he regains his sense of humor.. His brother is…

Growing up...

Growing up…

My son’s are growing up. It’s a fact of life, one that I don’t particularly like at times but it’s going to happen. I find I am taking a backseat in their play activities these days and trying to let them learn on their own. Not because I don’t want to play with them, but because I feel they would develop a better level of confidence from doing something on their own rather than me doing it. So a…

Animals and such...

Animals and such…

My 3.5yo is fascinated with anatomy. His, yours, mine, doesn’t really matter who’s. He has recently started a very odd (and possibly slightly offensive?) routine when I am showering. Every time I’m in the shower he will wander in, close the door and sit on the edge of the tub next to the shower. When I ask what he’s doing he replies, I just wanted to talk to you mum. Your thinking ‘Aw, so sweet!’…

Parenting do's and dont's...

Parenting do’s and dont’s…

Isn’t it amazing all the things you get told when you become a parent? Don’t sleep with the baby in your bed, breast is best, teach them to self settle ASAP, don’t pick them up the instant they cry…it seems never ending. Over the years with Mr K and E, I have tried many of these ‘rules’, some successfully some not. But I feel I missed the most important rule – Enjoy your baby. Sure, I played with…

Parenting should come with a user manual..

I would love to read the chapter on ‘how to deal with fights over imaginary property or people.’ Today, while eating breakfast, Mr E decided to build a door between him and his brother because Mr K was ‘at-noying me!’ This prompted Mr K to start ringing the doorbell on the imaginary door at 5 second intervals to bug Mr E. A very loud and angry neighborhood dispute then ensued. So, my solution? I…

To wake, or not wake the baby? That is the question.

My darling daughter has been asleep for almost 2 hours. Normally, this is not a worry. Normally, the little person controlling my brain would not be panicking over this, running around in circles crying ‘oh crap WHAT DO WE DO!!’ However, it is now 8pm, and usually her bedtime is anytime from now – 9ish. This means either she is going to wake up shortly and be awake for quite a while which means…
