DC have been moaning and squabbling and fighting all day. The house is a hole. There is rubbish everywhere - craft debris, random twigs, leaves, owl feathers Hmm DH is off in a field somewhere doing wilderness survivial DD has been annoying the DS's, DS1 copies everything she does, which is driving me MAD, and DS2 is so clingy I haven't been able to leave his sight all day. They are finally asleep.

There isn't anything in the house for us to eat tomorrow. It's next to impossible to go out with the DC and DH isn't coming back until goodness knows when. WIBU to pop out for a few minutes to get food?

Pre-chewed weaning for 3-ish year olds? Confused

And of course you can't go out for food and leave them alone.

I am thinking you are trying to do a funny thread and it hasn't come off.

Am I the only one who's spotted the irony of too rural for internet connection but can post on MN?

Yabu, of course you already know this.

loopyloo82 · 07/05/2012 20:47

Got it!

Sarcalogos · 07/05/2012 20:47

X post haber.

AgentZigzag · 07/05/2012 20:48

The OPs biggest mistake is saying any rural shop would be open at this time of night Grin

PestoPenguin · 07/05/2012 20:48

Hang on a minute, are they called Bill, Sarah and Percy?

Jane how does rural = no chance of a break-in?? Rural can = a good place to scout out and do houses without being caught.

JustFab · 07/05/2012 20:48

That was a lot pf posts posted while I was reading!!

trixymalixy · 07/05/2012 20:48

YANBU as the triplets are clearly not children!

FuckTheFuckOff · 07/05/2012 20:48

They are cats

Softlysoftly · 07/05/2012 20:48

Oh ha ha

ErikNorseman · 07/05/2012 20:49

I'm missing the punch line Hmm

storminabuttercup · 07/05/2012 20:49

Pre chewed weaning Confused

MrsJamin · 07/05/2012 20:49

Could these be your children by any chance?

Are your triplets the three billy goats gruff?

Haberdashery · 07/05/2012 20:49

Oh of course, Bill, Sarah and Percy. Although they weren't triplets, were they? One was clearly quite a bit younger than the others (which makes no sense at all for birds of any kind, surely).
