Duhh


Last night a friend of child no 1 mum collected the friend and left some crisps?


Mr f put them by the bread bin

Children see things left there are throw wobbles so last night I put the crisps in a bag at the back of the cooker out of sight so noone will nag me


Mr f obviously decided for some reason to put them back by the bread bin because I have got up to find all children eating crisps and it's not even 8 am


Grrr

Very true sw

Just wish they would think ahead a little bit and not go round unravelling our sensible precautions!


I am getting a migraine which doesn't help and am home alone with 4 children one of which wants to be settled quietly for a nap while the others pound loudly on the door shrieking 'mummeeee'

Maybe there should be a "rant" section on here for frazzled mothers being driven mad by their loved ones? :))


That way you can get it out of your system but only people willing to shout "amen!" are allowed to comment.


Sorry Sillywoman, that wasn't a slight, you are totally right but sometimes one just needs to be told "It's not you, the situation is completely insane and well done for not being committed yet".


Because let's face it, mummy can't really break out the bottle before supper. Er, right?

Me and Mr B and The B Extended Family are constantly at loggerheads over food issues.

Me: No, he CANNOT have a custard tart.

Mr B et al: Ah, go on.

Me: No!

Seb: *points at tart* Ab cake? (ab is Seb)

Me: UGH.


This happens 3x a week. I may take up heavy drinking when I am no longer pregnant...

HH, me thinks you should stop trying to quieten peoples comments that you don't like with your 'jokey', 'tongue in cheek' comments. Whether you may find it annoying for people to say 'look at the bigger picture', everyone is entitled to write what they please on here as long as it's not rude or offensive. The Family Room isn't different to any other room in that respect. Controversially sometimes we all need to look at the bigger picture from time to time. You're all very lucky to have found the love of your lives, who provide for you, and you have happy healthy children. I hope that doesn't offend anyone but it's true. I know many many people who would LOVE to have your problems!


Anyway, perhaps one day you will take my advice, unlikely though I'm guessing!

Once again I have just had to spend time removing bickering and personal gibes between Helena Handbasket and Zeban. This is a formal warning that behaviour such as this will not be tolerated on this board, and action will have to be taken to restrict your posting abilities if it continues - this would be a shame as I feel you both have good points to add when you're not wasting time arguing with each other.


Thank you for your cooperation.

Helena Handbasket is cool. Zeban seems cool most of the time, but to be honest, she seems to make a point of targetting HH's posts and it's all rather tiresome.


Perhaps you should both choose to ignore each other (find one of their posts, click on the colon to the left of their user name, next to "posted by", and go fro there).

I agree entirely Otta - I do understand that there is an element of targeting going on, which is unfortunate, but I feel the best course of action by HH is to ignore rather than make any reference to the posts therefore encouraging dialogue to continue.


Let's keep the family room a nice supportive place where discussions can take place in a sensible and respectful manner.

Oh, just back & it seems I missed a shedload of 'stuff' happening. Was just going to post to say "OK, Amen HH" :)). I do get where F & co are coming from, & agree that a 'rant' thread could be not only a pressure release but also a source of much empathetic amusement for us.


WoD, I feel your pain. The cleaning cupboard could just be an inspired idea by HelenGV.

    • Given her role, she pretty much had to go. I don't think she is an avid tax-schemer who deliberately set out to avoid tax - I do pretty much believe her story of multiple high-profile roles and looking after a child with needs. But many regular voters juggle demanding jobs and families and are afforded no leeway by taxman, so she totally should have known better But here we are - she was found to be negligent and now she has suffered teh consequence. To me that its the OPPOSITE of all parties/politicians as generally the ignore the whole thing (today we have Tice saying Farage's tax affairs are of no interest to voters for example) And it would be poor form to not acknowledge why she was targeted quite so viciously - we even have posters on here here saying "when I saw her taping on a boat that was the  end for me" - like the end of what?. Her gender and class were clear motivators for many people. Two wrongs don't make a right - but it';s interesting to see some posters on here give so many others a blank cheque. Many are planning to vote for Farage despite his dishonesty being 100x worse than Rayner PS - I don't think she will join Corbyn party - unlike him she is smart and unlike him she recognises that being In power means you can at least stand a chance of delivering results This. The Greens will have a rise in the polls on back of new leader but that is one hell of a coalition of NIMBY/YIMBYs As what would Reform do if in government to help with... well, anything?   Labour can at least point to decreasing waiting lists, lower immigration numbers, not having a different PM every 6 months - not that anyone is listening
    • So what do people want?  More housing.  More affordable housing.  But not in my back yard. That applies to urban areas too.  Easy to criticise, but where are your answers?
    • this doesn't mean anything - it's a word salad with no reference to the topic at hand. And given the video I posted it's notable that you didn't reference it at all. The subject is the proliferation of weird intimidating Flag wavers....    As for me, I didn't vote Labour at last election, nor will I in next election (if I lived in a Labour/Tory/Reform marginal, that might be different)
    • Her legacy will be the Deputy leader/Housing Secretary who was the Labour party's sleaze crime fighter who broke the ministerial code for not paying enough stamp duty on one of her houses. As Housing Secretary she probably should have known better.    I wonder if she will defect to Corbyn where she will no doubt be welcomed with open arms and the words: "You did nothing wrong, it was all a media conspiracy comrade......"
