I've had to up to here with listening to parents moaning about minding their kids, wishing for them to be back to school and out of the house.
Sisters-in-law throwing her eyes up to heaven and sounding jaded when he DD needs a drink/help in toilet/help with a game.
Or friends who just want to keep children quiet by plonking them in front of DVDs, filling them with junk, etc in the hope they'll go off to bed at nighttime.
Look, we've all have off days, believe you me (have DD age 4, 1 year old twin DS) but do we not owe it to our children to have a better attitude, a more positive one? To pretend we have anyway!
FFS, I wish they would roll up their sleeves, switch off the telly, get out in the fresh air, and just enjoy their kids!!!
When they're teenagers and hate our guts we'll regret it!

To be sick of hearing parents moaning about the summer holidays, minding their kids, not enjoying their kids
