Lego! I'm sick of it! Prising it out of my toddler's mouth, mopping up the tears when my 5 year old's impossibly long car falls apart. Breaking up the fights when one child wrecks the other's creation. Standing barefooted on a microscopically tiny yet painfully sharp bit that got left behind.

And I can't make ANYTHING with them. And they're EVERYWHERE AngryAngry

Lego top tip: have a rule that Lego can only be played with on a sheet or blanket. Then you can just pick up the sheet/blanket and pour the Lego into the box after it's finished with. Star

As a child I remember wishing certain things were uninvented: mint, injections, smacking, my younger brother. (still light-hearted, although I didn't feel that way at the time!)

Twitter. Then I wouldn't have to see news of what the idiot president of the USA has been (t)wittering on about.

By extension, I vote for electoral colleges. Direct elections all the way.
Then nobody would need to worry about presidential tweets.

Just one.

FORTNIGHT.

Yes to periods ... and hormones.

Will add hair dye to the list, and botox, and smartphones.

Any show managed or with Simon Cowell.

Air travel. I don't like it but I don't want to miss out so nobody else can use it either.😆 I actually think the world would be better off without it anyway.

AngeloMysterioso · 06/09/2018 12:07

Cigarettes. They bring nothing good to the world.

Slime and all who make it
Rubbish 80s/90s American family sitcoms on Netflixs that DD watches

Sprouts

Aside from that I'm quite easy
