I have 11 year old twins, at secondary so tough and trying to be older then they are.
I love it when they forget and call me mummy and want hugs. I can't tell them because they will relealise they are doing it and stop.
What do you secretly love.

Damn, @Etsylicious beat me too it. It’s so satisfying when you get a ginormous bogie too 😂 I secretly love biting my toenails.

Playing Redecor the home design game. I wouldn’t tell anyone I actually know that I play a game as I would get strange looks but it’s very enjoyable!

Lists
I love making lists then crossing things off

ImaHogg · 03/05/2021 10:52

When dh is slaving away at work and the kids at school, if I have a rare moment to myself I love nothing more than sitting on the sofa, wrapped in my throw, dog on lap and having a lovely afternoon snooze, bliss.

YouJustDoYou · 03/05/2021 10:54

That my son for some reason calls me "ma", his own nickname for me. That sometimes my children leave me notes and drawings on my pillow telling me how much they love me.

clpsmum · 03/05/2021 10:57

@MrsPinkingtonSmythe oh how I love a list xx

My life now
That my daughter (10 year old) tells me she loves me every single day
I have a fantastic loving partner who is the best father to our/his 3 girls
That my two older DSD two are out in the big world living their lives and doing well and are happy
That I had a random message from middle DSD saying she missed us last night
That both DSD ask me for advice and value my opinion (their mother is very much on the scene by the way)
That we're all doing OK and are happy despite a crap couple of years

Woodlandbelle · 03/05/2021 11:06

That's lovely todo
It's great to be happy after a tough year or two. I'm definitely in a good place now and I appreciate it.

When my little one is at nursery, maybe once a month I will book the day off as holiday, and not tell my partner, and literally do fuck all, all day, laying on the sofa, and order lunch on just eat!

mamabear715 · 03/05/2021 12:02

Oh, yes, LISTS! Is there anything more wonderful than crossing things off that you've achieved? :-)

MrsDThomas · 03/05/2021 12:13

When is pissing down and windy (like today) and people on holiday, and they avoid the beaches and cafes. And i can go there.

Sitting under my heated blanket candles on and snuggled up a random bad weather day to enjoy this is a treat.
