to quietly explain to DD that I don't have a magic wand?

[EccentricaGallumbits]

and this time in the evening it is impossible for me to either

a. wash and dry her stinking horrible trainers before tomorrow morning

and

b. having no fucking magic wand to wave means I cannot find her some fucking trainers to wear by tomorrow morning.

AIBU?

I would wash them and put them in the airing cupboard tbh.

or febreeze?

Why do they wait until this time of night to tell us? I went toi tuck dd1 in and she said Mum I need a tutu to dress up next wednesday....ok so enough warning with that but it says on the letter it's not neccessity and I'm stupidly overdrawn and don't want to waste £5 on something she will wear once, I have a feeling I am being a grump and have pmt though.

Couldn't the insoles be washed, they would dry before the morning and scrub the outside of the trainers.

Tell her to find them herself, then she can wash them herself.

I would do the same as LMG - 30 minute cycle and bung them upside down on the boiler.

Usually works!!

will chuck them in but they are almost certainly going to disintegrate ad still be wet in the morning - which will trigger off aother strop.

she wre them in the river on monday and hey stink to high heaven having festered in a carrier bag since.

In river? Lob stinkythings in, get glass of wine and if they are not dry its not yr fault

Er... so you can't wash them in time and haven't got any others. So she can't have them, no? My dd is 4 and understands this.

How old is she? Why does she need them? What is the consequence to her not having them?

No magic wand - seriously? I'll have to send you one of mine !

Surface wash and Febreze on a more helpful note?
