To think some of you spend far too much time on Mumsnet and I feel sorry for your children

[HoneyDragon]

It's been one of those weekends on here. I wanted to get in with this one first, before someone else did.

DC are in school, it's the house I feel sorry for.

Normally come on here when the DC are occupied.

I feel sorry for blue, bald children...

Feck, I forgot about the kids...

My carpets are neglected, DD is fine, clean, happy and loved.

No blue bald children here, or ones with a glued face due to falling over but that's because she is at preschool so I shall continue my argument thanks and sit here sadly thinking of your children

Same as HadABadDay

Must get the Hoover out soon!

Kids in school/pre school so :-p

:o

Now hang on one goddamn minute!!! what do you mean, one of those weekends? I have concientiously neglected my entire family for the whole weekend to be here and i certainly didn't notice anything untoward - have i missed something???

I love your thinking kim :o

Mine are at school.

It's me you should feel sorry for, I'm going to get such a bollocking from my college tutor when he realises I've done fuck all

Won't someone think of the college tutors? The poor neglected tutors

What happened?

I miss everything, me!

I'm supposed to be working. It is the work I feel sorry for.

He's 8 months old! He can look after himself! Can't mollycoddle them forever!

Baby is sitting on the filthy floor shouting happily to herself and watching the washing machine go round. DS is at nursery thank god. I'm ignoring the housework having toast before I head off to work with DD.

If I wasn't MNing I'd be doing housework or crochet and the baby would still be left to her own devices.

DC are older, it's the house that suffers here too!

Mines quite happy where she is at them moment - in my uterus Due date tomorrow and showing no signs of shifting yet

Benign neglect......its the new Dr Spock parenting style. Kids thrive on it YABU

But I was told that sticky floors & mucky windows meant happy children!?

I saw it on Facebook, so must be true!

DS2(17) has gone to school and DS1(19) is in bed, it's the ironing I'm neglecting!

Bugger! I was supposed to collect them from school on Friday.
