If you're not shy of swearing, and your kids won't sleep- have a listen.

Go The F*** To Sleep, as read by Samuel L Jackson. Made me laugh, at least.

Funny and painful. x

Now THAT made me laugh! Demented hours of shush/pat/pick up/put/down. Two years of my life!

Oh those torturous nights, hundreds of them all in a row........ brings back all sorts of un-mummy like words and thoughts......;-)

The best bit for me was "How come you can do all that other great s***, but you can't lay the f*** down and GO TO SLEEP?"

So, SO true.

Samuel L Jackson was the perfect choice to perform this, too. Brilliant.

perhaps we could add our own verses..

if only there were an off switch

to use when you make a peep

then I wouldn't have to say again

won't you go the f#*k to sleep

please will you stop biting my boob

with your four new shiny teeth

and please dear daughter most of all

won't you go the f*!k to sleep...

(said daughter currently playing with the highchair legs in the kitchen trying to pull herself up to standing, obviously has better things to do than get a bit of shuteye)

Very funny...the story of our life. The original has been taken down for copyright but here is a good video of Samuel L Jackson reading it which makes it even funnier I think:
