What to do with a badger 😂

[hotmessmom82]

So my 4 year old has come home with a badger for the weekend and we now have to take pics and document the adventures we have. I am working nights all weekend and need suggestions please so I don't look like a terrible mother 😂

Looking for worms and snails in the garden?
Playing in the park?
Helping to Cook dinner
Reading a bedtime story.

We had a toy snake. With instructions to sew up any holes found! We did swimming, trip to the park, cycling, and a picture of them snuggled up asleep together.

A badger? I didnt know you could bring home a wild animal.

Make sure it's vaccinated against TB?

They’re nocturnal so take it with you to work?

Don’t take it to Gloucestershire in case it gets culled (sorry!)

Apparently it's very nice served with rice.

Not this!!!

My kids' dad fed them badger www.mumsnet.com/Talk/mumsnet_classics/3425075-My-kids-dad-fed-them-badger

Give him a bath.
Let DS read him a bedtime story.
Let him bake some cornflake crispies. Don't forget the apron!
Take him to the supermarket.
Let him have a picnic lunch in your lounge.
Let him do "forest school" in the garden.
Have him tightrope walk across your washing line.
Get him to go for a ride on DS's bike/scooter.

Stick a medicine syringe in its mouth and say you vaccinated him.
Put a hi vis vest on him so he doesn't get run over.

I'm just a zombie when doing nights and my kind of ideas are never gonna be suitable for school. The bloody thing was horse riding one weekend and all I've come up with is baking so far 🙈

Play him the Brian May song

I'm so surprised nobody has said this already! Sorry I couldn't resist...

Steam it!

Tuck him up in bed for an early night, he's exhausted by the horse riding.

Teach him to play chess/dominoes/ludo.

Introduce him to a new food, Chinese noodles/fish & chips/whatever you normally have at the weekend!

Introduce him to a dog/cat/rabbit

Digging in the garden
Having a manicure
Driving the car

Photoshop it into a load of photos of world tourist sights - really blow all the horse riding, baking parents out of the water while doing nothing.

I think I know what school you belong to OP, that bloody badger... lol,

I’d recommend a trip to the park,
Sleep over with a tent made for him or a shoe box for a bed with a couple of flannels for a pillow and blanket
Travels around town in a back pack with head poking out so it can see,
Diving into the cereal box

Weekend of with a fag and a bottle of Jack Daniels

Get him to fight a baboon.

Get pictures of bodger and badger and say you were looking up family trees...or just claim bodger and badger pics as your own. Include mash potato

You need to pose it with a mushroom and a snake.

Hide it in a drawer and take pics of your 4 yo looking for it forgetting all about it until Monday

I meant playing hide & seek!

We had the teddy bear once. It went for a jacuzzi.

I.e. it was so mingling we put it in the washing machine. Apparently a lot of parents did.

Oh c'mon people, Friday night on mumsnet. Try harder!
