AIBU to not want to wind my fucking bobbin up at 06 45!

[bumpandkind]

I can't even invite DH to wake up and join the fun as he didn't get in from work till gone midnight. even though I've been up with Ds 3 times in the night.

Film him doing it, then he can sing along by himself by pressing play!

How weird! I've just been singing that too!! Are we part of a brain washing cult of bobbin-folk?
Joy!!!!

Ha ha, aren't moments like this what cbeebies is for?!

all round I think and make mine a strong one! Here's to the bobbin cult.

I was winding my fucking bobbin at 4.45!! I think I might die.
DS (1) is ill (vomit, cough, temp), DH working all weekend. DD (4) full of beans. It's raining. Why oh why oh why do they love that bloody bobbin so much?!

Push push clap clap clap

Personally speaking we're of the Twinkle Twinkle Litter star schism.

What is that song even about anyway?

Pull, pull, clap clap clap, surely?

Don't forget to wind it back again, wiiiiiiiinnnnnd it back again...

Damn you autocorrect!!!

YANBU. We ignored the bobbin 5.40 onwards until giving up at 6.20

Probably from the good old days when you could send your toddlers out to work in the cotton mills.

I feel your pain, ladies. My son is nearly 20 now but I still bear the scars from the few weeks when he was 2 when he started waking routinely at about 4am and I had to stagger down with him and put his favourite Disney film on the video. So traumatic was it that I can't now remember which one it was - Sleeping Beauty? Cinderella? Anyway, I used to lie, semi-comatose, on the sofa, while he pottered about with his toys with one eye on the video. Then at the other end of the day he had a lovely habit of dropping off in his high chair at about 6pm, often while he was still eating his tea. Spark out.

He turned out all right in the end!

I hate that fucking song.

I'm a rhyme time leader. At least I only have to sing it once a week... Twice a week at the worst.

Song is about cotton factories and the bobbin was used in the machinery to weave? the cotton through i think.

I was counting 1, 2,3 little acorns at 3.30... That has to win a prize, surely? Little sod then fell asleep at 4.30 leaving me wide awake and unable to get those bloody acorns and the arseing squirrel out of my head.

Can Derek from Milshake be our cult leader?

I made the mistake of teaching ds the incredibly catchy tune, Standing at the Station Early in the Morning and he bursts into song several times a day. It also gets stuck in my head and I end up singing it to myself going round the supermarket etc.
Yanbu; I hate getting up early anyway and am certainly never in the mood to wake up singing.

Due to a 4 year age gap between my two, Wind the Bobbin had somehow slipped my mind been blocked out due to traumatic 4am memories until this thread I think the 8 month old might be about ready for some Clap Clap Clap...

Oh it makes me envious, I had years and years of early morning singing. Now they are aged 10 and above and they stay in bed at weekends I end up sitting downstairs on my own instead.
Enjoy it won't last long really although you might, like me, end up being unable to sleep past 7am after the regular early wake ups when they were small.

Insanity one day you will bea grandma and discover it all all over again.
Wind the bobbin up, five little speckled frogs, five cheeky monkeys swinging in a tree, teasing Mr Crocodile and presumably the same naughty monkeys jumping on the bed!
I love it :)

Incy wincy spider will always have a special place in my heart

Oops, posted to soon!

DS was mesmerised by incy wincy when he was really tiny (weeks old) would stop crying & gaze in that lovely tiny baby way... He still loves it now & he's nearly 4

We were doing Dingle Dangle Scarecrow at 5.15 :(

Well, at least this thread has reminded me of some more tuneful delights that I can add to my early morning arsenal.
