Would you rather... Family mundanity edition

[00100001]

So make the next poster choose between two tedious tasks that come with having kids.

I'll start.

Would you rather spend every Sunday morning stood on the side of a football pitch or sat in the viewing area of a swimming pool. Whilst your kid(s) do their thing?

Balance bike everytime. Scooters have that annoying habit of swinging round and cracking you on the ankle bone.#

Banana.

Beast Quest. Boring as fuck but David Walliams is a Roald Dahl wannabee with zero actual writing talent

Would you rather label a full set of school uniform, or sew on three Scout badges?

Scooter (easier to carry over the shoulder), banana, Beast Quest

WYR- have to constantly re-stock the kitchen after a teenager with a seemingly bottomless stomach (but irritatingly slim waist) or argue with a tweenager who has decided that this week he will only be eating pasta (for every meal). [Definitely NOT my real life week, oh no]

Restock the kitchen.

Make packed lunches every single day for 4 kids or have to wrestle toddlers into a jumper

Love sorting socks. I leave it until the situation is desperate then set a timer and see how many pairs I can make in 5 minutes. Or sometimes I get one of the DC to see who can win at making the most pairs.

Hair brushing over BO.

I would rather carry a scooter than a balance bike, although they are basically interchangeable because both swing ribs and snack you.

I would rather get banana out than weetabix. I hate weetabix with a zeal that is hard to explain over social media. It may actually be the Bain of my life right now.

I have never read beast quest, But that because nothing is quite as bad as David Walliams

I would rather sew on the scout badges than label the uniform with proper labels. I just right their initials in the tag with sharpie instead though, which is not so bad

Restock the cupboards. I quite like shopping, the online or in person kind. But I hate arguing and arguing with a teenager even worse

I would rather wrestle a toddler into a jumper than make 4 kids packed lunches for a week.

WYR: treat your child for veruccas or head lice?

I actually love this thread. Soooo many parenting jobs are boring/torturous but I choose: swimming pool, Biff & Chip, banana bread, favourite TV show, educational doco, scooter, jumper wrangling, and sock folding (every bloody time - I despise making packed lunches).

Would you rather carry a random stick for six miles before your child decides that they don't want it any more, or fill your pockets with manky feathers and enough stones to make a decent driveway?

I chose stick and wrestling toddlers into jumpers.

I would not chose sorting socks - each of my dc has a pack of home socks which are totally unique to them and I just pile their socks in their drawer and if they want to wear different colour/same size then that's on them. The boys have the same school socks so they get an equal share of the pile of grey and the girls get a share of the white school ones. Obviously you have to plan ahead and obtain kids with the similar feet sizes though.

Carry the stick.

WYR have to listen to unsolicited and outdated advice about your babys sleeping every time you leave the house OR listen to unsolicited advice about your toddler's tantrums.

The latter, because if you choose the former you still have the tantrums to come .

WYR six other kids in your kid’s class came down with a vomiting bug a day before your long-awaited family half-term holiday, or your own kid come home with nits?
