There's a child who really gets loads of praise for staying dry the whole day long. I've stayed dry for months and nobody congratulated me! My drawings are far better than the children's but NEVER get put on the wall. None of the tricycles fit me. They should have at least one available for us 6 footers. (6 foot tall, not 6 feet on my legs. I am not an insect)
Why the hell should I give children my playdough? I had it first. Some of those children think they have a right to stuff I'm playing with. If they don't like it they can just grow up and get a job to buy stuff to make their own playdough!
But more than any of that, I want a nap! Adults get tired too. I want to get a mat out and fall asleep having my head stroked and sucking the dribble juice out of a rabbits ear. Not a live rabbit of course, a dead rabbit. I'm not weird.

I have to go now because I need a poo.

It's precious parenting, these kids think they're the fucking bees knees.

(don't forget to wipe properly)

I didn't need a poo after all. It went back up.

think you deserve to choose the story book.

seriously-tell your mum.

poos that go back up come back out extra yucky.

Often when you least expect them!

MissMogwi · 04/04/2012 22:23

My DD used to talk to her poos when she was little.

'come out poo, come on. It's time to go in the toilet'

Like that.

You should try it.

I thought it had come down from upstairs and was in the hallway getting it's coat on ready to open the door and go outside, when it apparently realised it had left it's car keys in the bedroom and went back to get them.

{That's a metaphor by the way.}

I would choose any book from the Wibbly Pig series.

yabu you've had your turn, it's their turn now.

The underappreciation extends to home though.

I ate my whole dinner and nobody mentioned ice cream, let alone went to get it for me. And I didn't throw anything on the floor, and I sat nicely on my chair the whole time and everything.

If you went for a poo, did you get a chocolate for trying, even if nothing came out? Because that's unfair too, if not.

And when I tidy my bedroom, all by myself, where's my cuddles and high fives for being such a helpful girl (even if most things are in the wrong place and we can't find anything for the next day or two)?

YANBU. It does seem to be all one way (and I'm not in the way of that - the one thing I'm not in the way of, praise for all my achievements!)

glenthebattleostrich · 04/04/2012 22:49

Well I got told I was a clever girl and patted on the head for singing nicely this morning and I got a cheer and clap for dooing a poo. I didn't get chocolate though even though I wiped my own bum and put the paper down the toilet not in the bath.

I'd be happy with a sticker.
