Teach them important skills,
LIKE...Amen sister!!! <br />Teach them important skills, <br />LIKE saying "You look tired, Mum - sit down and I will bring you a cup of tea"<br />LIKE realising THEY only exist cos YOU and their DAD love each other -so if you and he exchange a kiss or cuddle, instead of saying "Yuk!" they should retire to another room and start preparing a family meal<br />LIKE accepting that sometimes MUM gets to choose the TV channel, the eating venue, or the first chocolate in the box.<br />LIKE replacing loo rolls, taking out trash, and emptying the dishwasher are FAMILY tasks, not mother's sole responsibility.<br />LIKE if mum spends a happy afternoon chilling out and sewing, then beans on toast is quite OK for the evening meal.<br /><br />I am happy to say my girls were brilliant at all the above, and I SO miss having them around. <br /><br />mags- hang in there, yours will soon be old enough to do this stuff, just start training them early!!<br /><br />I have one small green tomato, the size of a garden pea, on my plant. No likelihood of spag bol sauce just yet!!<br /><br /><br /><br />I am heartily sick of car stickers saying "Little Princess" - which usually mean "Inside this vehicle is a spoilt brat"Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13494078135251214182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626107370797678390.post-72199844643996225382011-07-10T18:36:50.488-07:002011-07-10T18:36:50.488-07:00I say give them all the hard work to do. It'l...I say give them all the hard work to do. It'll turn them into little men and heaven knows we all need some good, hardworking men in the world today. It's great they are happier doing those chores.<br /><br />Yum on the spaghetti sauce! I've hardly a bloom on my tomatoes. Boo hoo. Too cool, I think.<br /><br />Jody (who is not giving up hope yet)Gumbo Lilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02747138637571716591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626107370797678390.post-49860027290668942972011-07-08T18:06:13.080-07:002011-07-08T18:06:13.080-07:00You've found the pathway to happiness!

Send then on a mission trip to a third world country as soon as they're old enough. They'll never whine again.debbie baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02479699000203333679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626107370797678390.post-73335052557258110432011-07-06T23:22:23.931-07:002011-07-06T23:22:23.931-07:00I really need to try the Zen thing!!!!
Since I no...I really need to try the Zen thing!!!!<br /><br />Since I now need to save up for some major dental work for DH, I am still not in line for getting a cleaning lady. *sigh*. You have me thinking that I need to get my kids on the go with some regular stuff. Like dusting. And mopping. You know, things I don't do from one school term to another (or semester, as the case may be!). What a shot of inspiration you are my friend.<br /><br />Oh...and Miss Mischief has just asked if I "still talk to Frances". Yep...still do :)Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07511855282323456046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626107370797678390.post-3831696693659689292011-07-06T17:34:24.278-07:002011-07-06T17:34:24.278-07:00Funny AND smart!
