has anyone seen my wife?

[Hassledhubby]

Hi
I have just left DS1 in his bedroom after a row over tidying up said room and his demand for cuddles rather than tidying up room and was hoping to find my wife ready to come in and finish the bedroom routine. I don't want to shout and wake up DS2 and am too tired to climb up stairs to loft. I last heard my wife muttering something about 'taking the ironing upstairs' which usually is code for her to escape on to Mumsnet. Don't know her 'mumsnet name' but if anyone of you is my wife, could you pop down and tuck DS1 up if it's not too much trouble to tear yourself away from either this or the Gifted and Talented thread.....:

we have phones on each level (we do have a loft), and use them to phone each other, rather then traipsing up and down the stairs, or going hoarse from shouting.

Hassledhubby, I suggest you put a similar system in place!

"I don't want to shout" ....nah, can't be my husband. I'm safe

Are you singlehandedly doing the school run or has your wife come out of hiding?

or alternatively install MSN on her computer and the one you were obviously using last night and MSN her when it's her turn!

(We don't communicate by MSN when we're sitting next to each other in our household.... oh no... not at all )

Hi everyone
I finally found her lurking on the Education boards somewhere between Primary and Home Ed (wtf??..[shock})
Thanks for all your advice, we have now installed Instant Messenger and also Skype so we now have two new ways of avoiding talking to each other in person while home and - especially important - of ignoring each other when one of us asks 'are you going to tell him to go to sleep or do I have to do it again...?'

But who is she? That's what I want toknow

I'd like to know exactly what is wrong with merely shouting up the stairs 'go to bed' in menacing voice

huh?

.. .s'not me

Why you shocked is it that she was looking at useful threads and not just chatting in general?Or are you scared at the whole HE vschool thing?

scared? meant shocked sorry

LOL but who is she?

Didn't Soapbox say it was her?

Hadn't seen that

I now have a loft but it has only been completed today and I certainly won't be ironing in it!
