Ridiculously indulgent things you have recently done for your children that you would only do for them?

Stood at bus stop for 40 mins in rain and howling wind to wait for DD 13 to get off bus as she had forgotten to take her hood attachment to school. The bus stop is maybe 200 metres from our front door.

Arrived at B&Q at 7am in order to get a heated blanket for DS 16, a journey of 8 miles out of my way to work because he casually remarked that he occasionally felt chilly in his bedroom at night and it was going to be the only opportunity of getting to buy before work.

What have you done recently that you accept it indulgent and would only ever do for your children?!

I thought you meant things like adding bath bombs to the Tesco delivery because your toddler wanted a pink bath.

I love my kids but what was the point in a) getting to the bus stop so early and b) going at all when she can just run home with a damp head?
