Today! I just need to weep vent.

I was woken at 6am by 1 child lying on my head telling me that she was "my new, magical pillow" and that her magic powers were "flying and having an argument". She proceeded to have an argument. With herself. On top of my head Hmm

One child enthusiastically pulled his sister's hair all the way around Sainsbury's.

After lunch, I tried to take the littlest for a nap walk in the buggy. Except, there was a brass band playing in the field where we normally walk. It struck up right on cue as we turned into the field. I have never seen a brass band there in the ten years we've lived here. Just why?

Then my 4yo decided to stand in the garden and shout MY DADDY LIKES FOUR YEAR OLD GIRLS at the top of her voice. Thanks DD Hmm

At dinner, the toddlers enjoyed their chicken and ham pie so much they both moisturised their entire torsos with it. Their bathwater was actually cloudy with spinach floating in it.

We got them all to bed and then a little voice called down "what letter does poo begin with? Is it a puh puh?"
Me: Er yes. Have you had a poo?
Child: Yep! And I wiped my own bottom but some fell off and then I stepped in it by accident and now it's on my carpet a bit.

The scene that followed was like a dirty protest in a prison.

I am now sitting downstairs with a glass of something strong and contemplating the state that is the kitchen....

I removed spaghetti from DS’s nose with tweezers this evening. Which was nice.

AuditAngel · 30/06/2019 20:33

I have to say I don’t miss those days.

At least they are in bed. I have one down, 2 to go, except i’m normally in bed before the teenager

@flamingjune123 why wouldn’t it have happened... all sounds entirely believable. Do you not have children? HmmBiscuit

Mythreefavouritethings · 30/06/2019 20:36

Too many parenting blogs, columnists and books these days but you are funny! You should write! After gin, obviously... Both sorry and thank you for your day!

Pogmella · 30/06/2019 20:39

My 3yo likes to wander in and try to frame the dog ‘Mummy Scruffy has made a mess’. Sometimes it’s plausible but when we were all lined up surveying the hall wall covered in rudimentary attempts at the first letter of DD’s name I did have to gently suggest it wasn’t exactly the perfect crime...

flamingjune123 · 30/06/2019 20:41

. Do you not have children? 
Er yes I have many. Why?

Thank you for making me smile. Hope tomorrow is easier.

EssentialHummus · 30/06/2019 20:41

I cried actual tears of laughter reading your post OP - the image of a brass band randomly striking up in a field...

Here's more Wine from me. May tomorrow be better.

maddiemookins16mum · 30/06/2019 20:46

They ate - win
They got in the bath - win
They all went to bed - win
At least one of them is toilet trained at night and went to the loo by themselves (albeit with some problems) - win.

You Op, are winning 😊😊😊

IncrediblySadToo · 30/06/2019 20:49

Thank you for sharing! 🥃🤣

I drank more in the year when the girls were 2&4 than any year before or after...wine o’clock followed bed time. It was the only way to keep on keeping on some days. Hilarious in hindsight but it take a LOT of HIND of the sight

How old was the 6 am Magic Pillow?

I love Brass Bands, but in your situation I may well have wept ...

You need to write these things down , you think you’ll remember, but you don’t 😢

BustedDreams · 30/06/2019 20:49

Sorry but I find your post hilarious 😂.

For you Gin

JohnnyMcGrathSaysFuckOff · 30/06/2019 20:49

Glad I have sorted someone's contraception for them!

Yes please don't remind me that they have hours to wake me up in 🤨

As for tomorrow..... tomorrow I am going to work. DH, poor bastard, is SAHD.

...and this is why it is so much better when they are older.
although, on reflection over the last few days I have had:
I can’t find shoes to go with my wedding dress. I’m not getting married if I can’t find the right shoes
If I don’t get a 2:1 I can’t do my PhD and then I can’t get the job I want and then I can’t move out and what’s the point of it all?
I need transport to the show and I need to take my bass guitar and can we pick up Guy on the way and he will have his guitar and stuff and Andrew needs a lift and we need to stop at James’ house to pick up percusssion kit and have you washed my black shirt?

It never stops.

MustardScreams · 30/06/2019 20:52

Ah @JohnnyMcGrathSaysFuckOff you’ve just reminded me why I only have 1 child!!

This really made me laugh though and perfectly encapsulates a day of parenting. Glad we all experience it at some point.

Wine Gin for you!

LittleWalnutTree · 30/06/2019 20:54

OP...

Tales from the FuckOff household same time tomorrow please Grin

howwudufeel · 30/06/2019 20:56

The brass band made me laugh.

Marmite27 · 30/06/2019 20:58

Bless you, we went to Granny’s for dinner and let the many Aunts and Uncles take over policing the pre-schoolers while we dozed in the living room!

bpirockin · 30/06/2019 20:59

Thanks for the much needed laugh - imagine all the fun stories you're accumulating. Cheers!
