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.

6.45 is a lay in in this house!

Our house is a baa baa black sheep house.

I bloody hate that bobbin too. It's got the most disappointing ending.

Fortunately DS is not yet old enough to put in requests so he gets monkeys on bed and speckled frogs mostly.

I'm going to have this sodding song trundling through my head all day now and I've got teenagers so it's no use to me.

This has given me hideous flashbacks to 'Musical Minis'.

There's always 'Sing a Rainbow' if you want a touch of culture or 'Twinkle Twinkle' Miss Polly had a Dolly of course and Five little Ducks.Actually Wind the obbin Up could be seen as a socio- historical commentary if you were that way inclined :)

bobbin not obbin

My friend is retired and has children the same age as me. When I took DS round to her house once and sang Horsie, Horsie to him, she winced and said she hated that song as it reminded her so clearly of her DS being awake all one night and her having to sing it to him repeatedly. So the horror lasts over 30 years!

Is wind the bobbin up about Victorian children working in mills .

I thought this song up the other day while eating hummus.

Eat your veg sticks, eat your veg sticks
for your tum, for your tum,
pitta bread and hummus, pitta bread and hummus
yum yum yum. yum yum yum.

I don't even have any children But I do work in a nursery, which makes it slightly less bad.

Dd has me signing from the moment she wakes till the time she is in bed.

3 little men in a flying saucer, take a look and pass it on, the bear went over the mountain, twinkle twinkle and many more.

They are stuck in my head when she goes to bed.

We are the alphabet house.over and over again.

Horsey horsey needs to SIT THE FRIG DOWN

Wind my bobbin up wind my bobbin up. Pull pull clap clap clap. Wind it back again. Wind it back. Wind it back again pull pull clap clap clap. Wind it slowly wind it fast pull pull till it snaps.
Point to the ceiling point to the floor point to the window point to the door clap your hand together 123 place them gently upon your knee. I love nursery rhymes. xxxx

My kids made up new words to this in the car one day

Wind the daddy up, wind the daddy up.
Scream, scream, shout, shout, shout

Can't remember the rest, will have to ask them in the morning.

I realise this post is old but I love the title.

Whenever my partner annoys me I now say to him “can you just go wind your bobbin up please?”.
