J'Accuse... I do not believe a sizeable minority on here when they say "I blah blah blah"

[Salmotrutta]

E.g. :-
"I cook from scratch" - I hate "from scratch". We used to say "everything was homemade".

And those of you who state "homemade potato wedges" ? ...yeah, I'm impressed. So that would be some potatoes shoved in the oven then?

Ha ha ha helpme - nothing trumps a dog fart!!

If I post some of my soup recipes will it send Worra into apoplexy? I make them all with at least 7 types of vegetables, and lentils are regularly involved.

If you post your home made soup recipes on a thread entitled, "What tinned soup do you buy your kids?"....then yes, yes it will!

I swear I will hunt you down and stick your tits in your own blender....

Oh god yes!!

Let's report everything to the Police!

What a fabulous idea.

Child gets smacked by grandparent.

Report it to the police.

Letting your kids into your bed was referred to as "making a rod for your own back" where I come from! I did it and expected NO sympathy.

Yes!

You are correct thornrose!

My kids could sneak into my bed without waking me up.I used to wake up all scrunched up with a small child spread out next to me.

Sneaky fuckers.

I know it's not in the spirit of the thread but soup really isn't witchcraft- it really is just boiled-up shit whizzed up with a hand blender. Mostly leftover shit here.

My kids suffered from Begnign Neglect - I.e. I shoved them out into the garden from the age of about 3 and told them to play.

Ha I used to tell dd, "just come in" don't make a big deal out of it, cos then it becomes a bloody "thing" which I have to justify!

You let them play in the garden alone? I would have called the police if I was your NDN.

I get dressed from scratch every day.

This thread is really funny. I'm trying not to laugh or I'm going to wake DH in a minute.

I will state this here and now (and this is true) :-

My kids never sneaked into our bed.

Because we didn't want them there.

They had their own beds.

I'm sick of getting asked if I 'blind baked' first - still haven't a clue what that means!

Total stealth boast from the OP there about having a garden

I shoved my kids in a flower pot

If it was good enough for them it's good enough for everyone.

My kids were allowed to play in the park from when they were 5&7. I used to hang out of DS2's bedroom window every so often to check on them!

usual - if you called the police I would have blocked your car in by recruiting a friendly NAR.

DD2 likes "being sweaty because it feels nice and smells of cheese".

She is a joy to co-sleep with.

Ours never sneaked in our bed either. They knew they slept in their own bed.

Flowerpots! How spoiled! I put Countryfile on the telly, they can look at the grass and trees and imagine what it's like to be outdoors.

Isn't telling your kids to play without earnest parental input borderline abusive?

Juice.

Dd1 is 15. They used to sell PFB juice made from the tears of unicorns -ok it was cow and gate baby juice at extortionate prices.

The Internet was still on dial up and I didn't have MN TO TELL ME I WAS WRONG.

That's probably why she currently has tonsillitis.

My eldest used to sneak in to my bed

I learned from this and bought the other 2 a TV for their bedroom.

My kids had their own beds,they just like mine more
