DH has just tried to make ds's birthday cake. He was only doing it to help, but he's arsed it up and now I need to get all the stuff AND do it again tomorrow night.
He was so well intentioned, but I am feeling stupidly cross. Please kick here.

oh, and I shouted, and now he's being extra helpful ... aghhh am bad bad person.
And brandy, he mixed everything in the wrong order/at the wrong temp etc, so its in the oven, and to be fair it may be ok...just won't be fabulous as it clearly would if I had made it

let go, let go, let go!!! DS will think it's hilarious that Daddy made a crap cake!

yep, release the pain.

Your ds and any other child in teh vicinity will only be interested in teh icing decoration. Mixing things in the wrong order... now come on. You know that doesn't matter.

Good on him.

Oh dear, but oh bless at him for trying.

Look at it this way. If you tried to put up some shelves to help him, but they were crap, how would you like him to react? React like that

You all talk much sense (and yes, wouldn't like to see my shelves Colditz). Tired, both kids coldy and going down with the lurgy myself - well that's my excuse. Have made up , and consider myself appropriately, yet lovingly kicked
