You know you've done a good job as a parent when....... (lighthearted)

[DuckyMcDuck]

You're all dancing around the kitchen to The Specials and your teenagers know all the words

Your currently 18 year old says Queen and The Clash are two of their favourite groups and can name loads of songs and artists when im listening to 80's radio.

Your 8 year old asks for baked Camembert for lunch

You have a 19 year old who loves 90s clubland and clubbing with his mum and her friends including a weekend away (his mates came too)

Your teens score full marks on a film quiz about a specific film you relented to watching over and bloody over again....

Your teenaged son chooses to write about you after illness as his inspirational woman. And you don’t find out until his teacher tells you 😭

Your four year old knows more of the names of the plants in the garden than his dad. He said to me in shock ‘dad didn’t know what Bleeding Heart was!’

Oh god reading that back, it sounds so big headed. Sorry.
Broke my heart though, in a very good way.

Your 12 year old cooks dinner all by herself!
And your 13 year old teaches your 9 year old his 7 times table better than you can!

You spend lockdown with 19 year old and 17 year old boys and you enjoy their company. We all enjoy listening to music and the 17 year old will cycle and drop groceries off for you to his Nan and the 19 year old starts chipping in to the household after getting a job. It's been lovely spending time with them.

It doesn't sound big headed. It sounds beautiful and he (and you) sounds like an amazing person.

Your 2yo lisps that her favourite band is AC-DC. Followed. By George Ezra!

Your 12 year old asks about characters in the Archers!

Thank you 😊 Yes, I think he is and I’m blubbing again now 3 years on 😁

The children are competitive about winning a game of sleeping lions, or the version occasionally played when I was growing up: who can sit blindfolded and in silence the longest. I didn’t realise the purpose of this game was so the adults could have quiet!

Your 6yo sings along to and actively chooses to listen to Queen!

Your youngish (they both learned around 6/7) children can make various drinks, include cups of tea and mojitos, on request. (Although tbe mojitos are virgin, we don't let them near the rum!).

They bring you breakfast in bed (simple things like toast and scrambled eggs made in the microwave)

And for my just 7yo... She insists she has to take a bag and gloves on walks in case she sees litter.

My 17yr old dd keeps going on about signing us up to gogglebox because she thinks people will find us and our tv watching chatter hilarious.

A few weeks into lockdown we were talking about things we miss and would like to do as soon as we can. She told me she missed all the time we spend in the car going to and from after school clubs, and the talks we have. When I suggested we could just sit in the car and chat, she grabbed the car keys and shouted "meet you out there" as she walked out the front door.

This is so lovely 💖

My toddler can recognise garden plants and common birds! It’s brilliant I love it so much. We need to up our music game though.

Finding out they'd all (4 of them, aged 17-23) donated to either Black Lives Matter causes or corona relief funds recently.

When my 5 year old Ds tells me he loves me so much, he doesn't want me to go extinct 😂

Dd5vss favourite bands are the beatles, Queen and Abba. Also, DH had a late night conference call last night. He went up to his office and she left him her blanket and pillow in case he felt tired while working

These are all so lovely!

I am imagining Mr Loislittslover snoozing during a conference call!

When your children shout ‘comb-oine ‘arvester’ in full Wurzel accent every time they see a combine harvester. Mine are teens now....
