Slummy Mummy confessions......

[helena handbasket]

Well there seem to be plenty of perfect mums out there but I am not one of them, because.........

As I sit here surfing the internet and reading "the Forum" my son is being neglected. But it gets worse. I am making him watch a television show that we find appalling....... the awful Lazytown, and I think you know why. That's right, Sportacus, mummy porn (the shame!) and I don't believe for one minute I'm the only one who has noticed that if you turn the volume off he's easy on the eyes (sans ugly eurotrash sporty costume....... oh yes I did just say that!)

I have no defense. I'm not proud. But admitting you have a problem is the first step, they say.

Please tell me somebody else has a slummy mummy (or daddy) habit? I can't be shocked, really!

[Rhubarb&Custard]

Andy and Sid.

H-hum. Enough said.

[candj]

helena - you forgot one adjective in the sentence 'ugly, eurotrash, skin-tight, sporty costume ...' !!!

[sillywoman]

Mmmm muscles mmmmm.

Stop it, stop it now!

[Vickster]

oooh I find Andy a bit creepy

My hubby has a not so secret crush on Sarah Jane from Higgledy House and she lives locally too!!!

I am a Lazy Town fan too, for all the wrong reasons ;-)

[sanity girl]

I'm with Rhubarb&Custard on Andy. I always thought Sportacus looked a bit short! And he's far too goody goody

[littleEDfamily]

I am laughing a lot and having to try and explain to my 3 year old (quite unsuccessfully) why!

[Belle]

What IS th is programme??? is it in cbeebies?

HH - I have far too many slummy mummy habits to mention but if I think of some entertaining ones I'll post them.

[Ruth_Baldock]

I *may* have trained my baby to get excited and to jump around maniacally in his doorbouncer to the 'Superman' theme purely for my own entertainment.

With you on Sporticus. Yum. My younger sister says she finds Robbie strangely attractive. Righto, then...

[Fuschia]

I have a soft spot for Justin and Mr Tumble and often find myself chuckling at Gigglebiz...

[helena handbasket]

So funny....... I do too! I was waiting for someone else to go there. He's not my type at all but there's "something special" about him.:)

[candj]

Righto then do you have the Justin Fletcher sings nursery rhymes DVD? It's like pantomime at its best and I'll admit that I used to love watching it.

[verds]

You fancy Mr Tumble? I've just done a sick in my mouth.:)

I wouldn't go quite so far... let's just say I have at least 10 episodes saved on my v-box though!!

::o amazing! It's sign n swear

[sanity girl]

noooo - Justin is so creepy!

[Belle]

omg that story is brilliant! but seriously i HATE mr tumble, gigglebiz really really annoys me. Also as mentioned on another thread Kerry is quite annoying with her 'hello moon' song.

on swearing though - that is one way i'm def a slummy mummy as I haven't managed to edit my language at all even though my 13 month old is saying some words now. It's a miracle his first word wasn't a swear word...it's surely only a matter of time. I know I should stop but sometimes only a swear word will do.

[Moos]

Oh.... yeah... the swearing thing. :-$

I'm really ashamed of it, but have overheard my small son sitting on the loo practising saying to himself "fxcking sake", "fxcking sake".

The worst of it is that there is part of me that really, really wanted to laugh, but it was awful hearing his little squeaky voice innocently repeating mangled swearwords.

[littleEDfamily]

Still feeling slightly nauseous about you Mr Tumble pervs out there! Wrong, wrong, wrong!

Noo! It wasn't me that mentioned sexual fantasies! I just said he makes me giggle! How can you corrupt my innocent feelings?!!

[littleEDfamily]

Tee hee... this thread has made me think that cbeebies could do with some genuine eye-candy for mums!

When I first met my husband my group of friends used to call him the CTVP (Children's TV presenter), as he was so smiley (yet handsome!), but now I see how horribly insulting that really was. Surely they can find a few men nice men to present who are non-threatening and talented but also HOT (to the over 30s)!!!

Right, off to bed for me as I am now sounding like a wrong 'un!

[helena handbasket]

No no no! Not sexual fantasies good god. No! He just seems, I don't know, like he could happily entertain my kid for a while as I soak in the tub and think about Sportacus (::o just kidding).

The swearing thing though, um, yeah. Every time I pick my son up from pre-school I'm just waiting for them to pull me aside and say "we need to talk about ****'s language". The scary thing is that it's very rare, but contextually accurate.

When I was teaching I had a 12 yr old girl in my class who said the f&*k word constantly. When I called her father to discuss the situation, he said (and I quote): "Well what the f&*k do you want me to do about it". Shocking, but I have to laugh every time I think about it.

[Fuschia]

The man in booogie beebies is SERIOUSLY weird. Point fun at him, if you must, or Mr Maker, or Big Cook (or even Little Cook)

[snowboarder]

I'm totally lost - we don't do cbeebies yet! My tv slummy-ness confined to a terrifying addiction to watching Neighbours and Home and Away after supper. It's kind of become part of the bedtime routine....and strangely makes babySB lick the telly....
