To ask if you are always on here who's looking after your kids?

[Propermother]

Just wondered what peoples kids do while they are on mums net. Some people are on here an awful lot even on sunny days when they should be outdoors.
I really am not judging- just curious.

I liken my MNing to reading a magazine.

Its amazing how quickly you can hammer out an ill-considered paragraph of drivel as a snap response to someone's OP.

It's not like watching telly or reading a book that takes concentration.

My dog. She is 11 so well old enough to babysit. I even leave her in charge to out for the odd evening.

I prefer to bring mine up feral

Wotsits? how very dare you.Mine prefer Monster munch.

Ds1 is 13 so we don't have a cot and he doesn't like Wotsits.

"I fling my 9 year old at 10 am and don't let him in till dinner time."

By catapult?

Thats abit posh init usual mine get 10p space raiders if there lucky. Got to love those E numbers.

School, she'll be home in a couple of hours.

Mutt I'm not, I just find these threads amusing for some reason

Wait. You're suppose to feed them?!?!

Yes a giant catapult to make sure he lands far enough from the house.

Don't want the little bugger coming home early and interrupting my mumsnetting

My dd is in bed eating quavers

Benign neglect is healthy.

Alan is a very good cat name.

My cat has proven he just can't hack that level of responsibility.

'I also assumed everyone had little kids like me'

I did have little children, they got bigger. Why did you assume? Haven't you been around for long?

I shall take my well deserved plate of and put myself on the naughty step for thinking mums net was for new mums (like the bounty packs).

"....feed..." ?

Oh, shi........

I just pop on quickly on my phone if I get a moment where kids are quiet asleep,eating

Some defensive responses here!
I MN when DC are busy playing, watching a film or have friends over. As others have said, people have DC of all ages, those with over 5's are less likely to be needed all of the time! :)

In all seriousness I use one of these, really helps you get the MN hours in.

Tee apparently so. I feed mine if they have what I'm having, if not they feed themselves and help themselves to my freddos, the sods

My kid's are in their 30's.However who's looking after them < for me to know and you to find out > :)

Eastendersis on now, Shhh!

XPost!

No-one has ever looked after them, darling, it's almost like they don't exist.

tee - nah, they'll start eating the cat if they get peckish. Puts hairs on their chests, doncha know.
