sounds like she is taking the michael IMO. She's not stupid....there is more to this apparent story than meets the eye I reckon.

Imagine looking back on your life and realising that you spent all those years when you were young and healthy looking at a little box instead of really living. Such a shame and a waste.

is everyone going to be really holier-than-thou about this? I'd give my back teeth to do that every weekend

I only had kids so I could take them to matinees. The first six years are just dead-waiting time as far as I'm concerned

Can I have the country estates? I'd do a bit of walking.

ha ha Cappuchino, I don't see the problem either, it sounds lovely to me. I had some fantastic weekends of Chianti and whole box sets of Sex and the City a few years ago, fab.

Lucky them!

If you work it out it's only about 6 or so films a weekend. I'd love to lie with my popcorn watching movies or an entire 24 series.

They get enough skiing etc so I'm sure that they get out and about. Better that than off their faces each and every weekend.

yeah, and? it's her life. the kids are out of the baby/toddler stage.

when i was a teen, i liked nothing better than hiring a load of flicks w/my sister and young cousin - who lived w/us - buying a bunch of junk food and takeaways, and holeing up watching the same film 3 or 4 times.

God I am so envious !

I wish I'd watched more films when I had time - when dd is older I'm going to do that with her - 20 hour film-fests - fabulous !

AND - I wish I was as "fat" as them - blimey - they are so not fat !

bet there are lots of mums who wish their older teenage daughters wanted to spend that much time with them!

And some that are quite glad they don't I guess Grin

Yes I will stick my neck out and say that I think spending 20 hours of a weekend watching DVD's is wasting your life away.

Not if you do it once every few months or so of course, but every weekend...!?

fergie looks gorgeous in that picture. always thought she was, just a bit unfortunate style-wise and overshadowed by the queen of hearts

Who makes the shepherd's pie and roast chicken, eh? Must be so nice to have staff.

I'm slightly envious I think, lol. Can't see my boys wanting to do that with me some weekend.

And DH reckons she is/was stunning in RL, whereas she takes a lousy pic most of the time.

Ah sounds like a great way to spend a rainy sunday afternoon, my kids love Duvet Days. We all snugle up and watch DVD's all afternoon and eventually kick someone out to make dinner, usually something fun to eat like faitias.

Great family bonding, I am sure they they will soon reach the age when this is the last thing they want to do but until then we will still have Duvet Days every now and then.

I think she may have been misquoted - after all how many weekends are they all together?

It's not like they have to do the housework or go to the post office. She probably thought this made her sound very grounded and normal.
