‘Mummy! I’ve done a big pooh. It is super massive! Come and see!’

[Chezacheza]

Said my nearly 4 year old.

God I can’t wait till these kids go back. They have ruined my house and ate me out of house and home. Are we really two weeks from waging them good bye at the school gates? The silence in my house is going to be golden. I may sleep for a whole week.

Any one feel the same 🥳

My DS is 2 but I must say I feel the same now I loved it at first now I don’t want to look at poo in the potty or pretend I’m a snail.. he’s back at nursery Monday mornings so I can job hunt and it’s bliss!

God yes. Bring it on. I have spent the past six months pretending to eat things and watching the same 3-minute YouTube video on repeat.

I realised today that it has been nearly 6 months since I have been alone in the house. Not quite sure how I have not unravelled completely by now.

urgh, it doesn't stop, they just stop telling you, so you get surprises.

Wish we could timeshare kids when it all gets too much, I'd happily do a couple of days of hearing about poo and pretending to eat things if someone wants to takeover for me hearing how my teenagers life is so boring and pointless, huffing and constant questions about stuff I have to pretend I'm interested in. That's the main trouble with ages and stages, you're stuck with the same one till it drives you demented and then they change, should be able to have a random age every few months, keep it fresh 🤣

I am starting to feel the same way about my 3 year old and I feel really guilty about it.she has actually been really good throughout lockdown but the last few weeks we have both been getting to the end of our tethers - I find I'm telling her off more and shes getting cross and frustrated too. Shes going back to preschool on the 7th so not long now. A bit of space will do us both the world of good.

Ds's first poo had to be photographed and sent to his siblings...

Not envy!!
*the pic sent not the actual poo!

I was about to post a thread about whether children come with a 3 year warranty? My daughter is wonderful but recently she has started to have random screaming fits where nothing I do makes her happy. She is 3 in a few months. Do you think the hospital would take her this close to her third birthday and replace her with the full time sweet version I used yo have?

I'm always impressed with super massive poos, but we're still in the nappy stage.

My son has been back at nursery for over a month, and it is as good as you think it will be. Now I just need DH to go back on day shift so I have the house to myself in the mornings too.

@Burnout101 I have considered the same! It's the sheer relentlessness of each stage. I'd love surly silence for a bit so long as they slept past 5am. And I'm sure you'd love 22mo DS's busyness (and relentless need to be carried even though he weighs 13kg now).

Tbf they are pretty adult looking!

It is nearly six months! I’ve under cut myself by nearly four weeks when I was sending hate mail watsap messages to dh before complaining! He has been in the office for most of the time with his mates. I didn’t sign up for this shit

Do you think there will be COVID mother therapy groups at the community centre soon 😁

Mine gets constipated and doesn't always "go" properly so I have to tell him to not flush so I can check he's properly cleared out and I don't have to crack out the Movicol.

The other males of the house seem incapable of leaving the toilet clean.

I don't want to see anyone else's poo. Ever. I want to live a poo free life.

Dh sometimes talks about getting a dog - absolutely not. Nothing else that would mean I'd have any more contact with poo than I already do. I'm all pooed out.
