Spent all the benefits and can't afford the babysitter......surely the goat is a responsible adult!

Can you not just use a baby monitor?

LizzieVereker · 31/12/2013 23:03

Bit irresponsible to rely on the goat. Ain't you got a nice big Rottie to mind Bubs? My dog would kill anyone who so much as looked at our lil' man. But he'd never harm the little one, no way, he's so gentle we let the baby ride him bareback using Xbox controllers as spurs.

It would be wrong for anyone to advise against this, that would be judging you.

wetaugust · 31/12/2013 23:11

Of course the goat can babaysit - especially if she's a nanny goat.

Thatisall · 31/12/2013 23:12

Goats can significantly reduce your energy usage you know...so can thick vitamins

wetaugust · 31/12/2013 23:13

^ sorry Where... didn't see your joke before I posted.

Be careful - goats like to eat large flat screen TVs.

GroupieGirl · 31/12/2013 23:13

You shouldn't use a nanny goat you should use a nanny dog! I hear Staffys are good for that - leave your child alone with a staffy and go out. Sorted.

DameDeepRedBetty · 01/01/2014 07:45

Ah... lovely for normal service to be resumed!

Happy New Year everyone Smile

Stop being a twat by bumping last years threads.

morethanpotatoprints · 31/12/2014 23:05

No, don't suggest a dog that is clearly wrong look what happened to Wendy and her brothers that I forget their names.
Unless you want them whisked off to neverland I say trust the goat.
