I should be making dinner but instead I’m lay on my bed with 3 of the DC all of us on different screens while the baby has a danger nap in the next room 🤦🏻‍♀️

Anyone want to join in?...

I should be doing work instead I'm browsing MN and eating more than my share of the biscuits from the kitchen

I should be making dinner or doing some marking but instead I am reading Mumsnet and playing games on my phone.

I should be steam cleaning the kitchen floor, which is well overdue, but I'm MNing, pottering around, talking to the cats and generally ignoring DP Grin

TheCrowFromBelow · 02/10/2018 17:20

Making dinner, walking the dog, and mainly encouraging the DCs to do homework
I’m actually goofing around on the internet AGAIN

I should be entertaining the children but instead I'm letting them watch tv whilst I stand in the kitchen on my phone

I should be putting the shopping away instead I am catching up on MN

Eatmycheese · 02/10/2018 17:48

I should be putting my three children’s vast piles of ironed clothes away and running the hoover around their rooms
Instead I’m on here drinking a coffee with a slug of baileys in while I eat a bag of curly wurlies

It can wait

FekkoTheLawyer · 02/10/2018 17:51

Should be making dinner or at least planning it but in here for a laugh as DS has really hacked me off (strongly suspect that he bunked off sports today but is swearing blind he didn't...)

Ariela · 02/10/2018 17:52

I should be trundling down to Waitrose to buy Piemeister Pies as a treat before the 25% off finishes today but instead DH has made me a cup of tea.

OurMiracle1106 · 02/10/2018 17:53

I should be working hard at the gym instead im doing a light session and chatting on my phone whilst mning

Crispsandcoffeediet · 02/10/2018 17:59

I should be mopping the floor whilst the dogs at the vets and starting tea but instead I'm binge watching Greys Anatomy in the kitchen whilst drinking coffee/browsing MN and waiting for DS to demand food (but secretly praying he's fallen asleep on the sofa)

Caspiana · 02/10/2018 18:00

I should be well rested and thin but instead I had a baby

CigarsofthePharoahs · 02/10/2018 18:07

I should also be cooking a healthy dinner for my family but instead I am binge watching The Originals on Netflix and mumsnetting while the children play Minecraft

I should be getting the DC ready for bed but instead am sitting MNing and mildly hypnotized by In The Night Garden

drspouse · 02/10/2018 18:48

I should be eating dinner but instead I'm standing outside DS room as he has yet again said dinner is disgusting and he won't eat it and is throwing things. He just tipped over his drawers and pulled off his lampshade. I could be here some time.

safariboot · 02/10/2018 18:50

I should be loading the dishwasher but instead I'm watching QI and playing silly mobile games.

SilverHairedCat · 02/10/2018 18:58

I should be doing my online CBT and planning my work for the next two days but instead I'm eating a Chinese takeaway and watching crap TV and procrasti-MNing while DH is out at his midlife crisis club.

Fromage · 02/10/2018 19:01

I should be getting ready to go out but instead I've decided to stay in with the telly and my new warm cardigan.

I should be tripping the light fantastic but I got old. Blush

HalloumiGus · 02/10/2018 19:14

I should be studying but instead I'm MNing and eating stale cake from the back of the fridge.

FuckyDuzz · 02/10/2018 19:55

@drspouse Flowers
