Tip of the day

Never ask a child IF they need the loo... moodlum

Quote of the week

CaptainNancy's (admirably succinct) family rules: "Don't be a dingbat/duffer. Keep calm and carry on. Dream big. Shut up and get on with it."

Recipe of the week

Carmenere's cinder toffee: sweet, sticky, made-in-five-minutes toffee squares that'll spark off a few 'yums' among the 'oohs' and 'aahs' of your little fireworks-watchers.

Please can you help us to get dads to fill in the Home Front survey?

Done.

I'll email it to a bunch of other SAHD's i know too.
Done it. I hate things like this. There are too many variables in people's lives for the questions to really reflect how most of us actually live.
Dh has done it - not all his answers agree with mine though! grin
we've both completed it, although it seemed to be a hardship for dh - he said it took too long.
The ironman has done it.
DH completed it- took it all V seriously and insisted on pindrop silence.

Good job I can multitask, what with two dc's and MN i'd get nothing done grin
Some feedback from DH - some questions were a bit difficult to answer as I am on (paid) maternity leave at the mo.
Mr Russel has done his bit.

I would have thought, frankly, that it is worth noting that not that many men have filled it in.
I just got DP to do it, but I had to do it for him. hmm

Mr laughalot filled in
Sorry, no this particular bit of the research doesn't apply to lone parents but we do have a lone parents thread - please do post you thoughts/comments there if you get a moment as we could do with some more input.
Many thanks.

....tried to fill this in.

However it is not, it would seem, for lone parents.
Done
Done.
done
I wasn't sure if you could answer it and choose not to answer certain questions, but I've done it and it seems you can.
Mine did it last night but needed to ask me the ages of our children hmm

I hope he was joking!!grin

Thank you, that's great. No, dads don't have to sign up to MN, just needs the survey page.

I take it he doesn't have to sign up to MN or anything in order to do it? (I need MN to be a DH free zone grin)
Begrudgingly done by DH

We really want dads' input to make sure their views aren't under-represented in the debate about how to make juggling work and caring for children better for both parents. So please can you get your partner to fill in the survey too. They'll also be entered into the prize draw (and so can take you off for a luxury weekend if they win). Thanks very much.

Emphasis: To bold a word, surround it with asterisks, so *hello* will display hello. For underline use _ , so _hello_ gives hello. For italics use ^, so ^hello^ gives hello. To strike out a word, surround it with two hyphens either side, so --dog-- gives dog

Links and smileys: To insert a smiley face,  , type [smile] or :)
For a big grin,  , type [grin] or :o
For a wink,  , type [wink]
For a shocked face,  , type [shock]
For an angry face,  , type [angry]
For an embarrassed face,  , type [blush]
For a sad face,  , type [sad] or :(
For an envious face,  , type [envy]
For a sceptical face,  , type [hmm]
For a I have nothing to say on this matter face,  , type [biscuit]

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
