I've used the tumble dryer more than needed as too lazy to put on the airer as I normally Would. Everytime I put baby down for any time He creates. I think he's coming down with what dd has.

Haven't made our bed

Toddler dd still in her pjs and had ice cream for lunch.. Tbh she's not well and it's all she's wanted.

Made a really short car journey whilst mum was here with kids because again I am truly in a lazy knackered mood.. It took longer to drive and park than would have to walk.

And for tea tonight we're having beige food.. Nuggets and chips..

Let's hear yours.

I'm not sure what is and what isn't "mumsnetty" but judging by this thread my whole life is unmumsnetty Grin

Cleaned the toilet with germ bomb aka toilet brush.

Oh, my biggest one - had three children! I'm probably single handedly responsible for the destruction of the planet.

Had to take my older son to the doctors and my glove refusing toddler refused to leave his balance bike at home, pissing it down and by time we got there his feet were soaking and hands were red and cold Blush

Ive done sod all apart from make lunch since getting home at 1pm

I was meant to keep my 2 year old awake so he could have an early night and me have a bath... hes snoring next to me as i type this.

I have work soon and no energy to cook dinner as im full of a cold.

starfishmummy · 28/02/2020 17:04

Infantilised (I hate that word) my adult ds by doing his washing and making his lunch.

I also ran his bath, laid his clothes out, wiped his bottom, helped him wash, dry and dress. Ive also done his medications and tube feeds because I am also his carer and because he can't.

Just a normal day.

Had a bottle of Fanta and a chocolate chip cookie for breakfast along with the whinging three year olds half eaten toast.

Dragged two kids to school - thinking fuck my life for most of that journey. The three year old moaning like Bing bunny on acid the whole way and the 7 year old finding her inner Kevin the teenager.

Thought fuck it to all the paper work and crap lying around and have shoved the lot into carrier bags behind my dining table to deal with another day.

Shoved all DH's dirty laundry into a separate wash basket as it's covered in mud from the film location he's been on but he'll need it clean for Monday. The cleaning fairy unfortunately has quit without notice so looks like he's gonna have to sort it.

Frozen pizza for tea with a lot of wine.

@mistermagpie what, today? Well done you- triplet birth and back on MN before sundown.

HoldMyLobster · 28/02/2020 17:07

I'm considering buying an SUV tomorrow. For my children.

YgritteSnow · 28/02/2020 17:07

Took my child for a big blue bubblegum ice cream as an after school snack.

Walked over the road to Primark and both chose a pair of new, made in sweat shops PJs each.

Rejoiced in the fact that her school has changed the time table to finishing ten minutes early rather than lamenting how difficult this will now make my life.

Called the child who is being mean to dd a nasty little twat under my breath but dd heard and laughed.

Listened and sang along to a song with lots of swearing in in the car with my teen children. They laughed.

Can't think of anything else. But thanks for starting the thread. It's made me realise it hasn't been a bad day at all Smile

I am on the bus back from work cause it’s freezing and rainy and I’ve just ordered DH to make me Brinner (breakfast for dinner) so it’s ready as soon as I get in the door. He was with the kids today and I didn’t leave him a list of the essential tasks, dates and birthday parties as I know he knows them all as well as I do and is infinitely more domesticated. And we will probably have sex tonight because we want to, and he is bald

OhSweetNuthin · 28/02/2020 17:09

Haven't RTFT.

Thewomeninthemirror · 28/02/2020 17:11

My ds is still in his onesie (chicken pox) and I used the car for the school run.

I’m going to burn in hell aren’t I ?!

YgritteSnow · 28/02/2020 17:11

Oh and I asked my children what they wanted for dinner and then cooked it even though they both wanted different things. Just like I do every night 🏃🏼‍♀️

Sgtmajormummy · 28/02/2020 17:12

Roasting a chicken for tonight’s dinner and fully expect to THROW AWAY what little will be left over!
I hate stripping chicken skeletons.

PlomBear · 28/02/2020 17:13

Had a wank
Had a McDonalds
Stayed in my PJs
Sent DH to buy me an Easter egg

Deux · 28/02/2020 17:15

I had a pot noodle for lunch (curry) and cleaned the loo with a toilet brush. Not at the same time mind, I have some standards.

paintedfences · 28/02/2020 17:18

Plombear I am jealous of your life!

FleetwoodMacMummy · 28/02/2020 17:25

Having a McDonald's for dinner Grin

Biffsboys · 28/02/2020 17:27

Made my ds(23) his dinner AND done his washing ...

PlomBear · 28/02/2020 17:34

Oh and I also woke up from a very sexy dream having an orgasm! That’s not very Mumsnet is it?!

Insertdeadcatsnamehere · 28/02/2020 17:47

Got the bus to a toddler group as I hate driving.
Let an unknown old lady give DD a biscuit on said bus.
Didn't fall out with the mother of the child who accidentally pushed DD over while there.
Came home and stuck her in front of the tv.
Didn't do anything remotely productive after she fell asleep apart from answering the door to an unscheduled caller.
Drank 2 beers without considering that I may be a raging alcoholic.
About to get a chinese takeaway including starter and fully intend to eat every last scrap of it within moments of its arrival.

Ghoulestofmums · 28/02/2020 18:26

Told DS he has to see a dentist regularly. He’s 34 so I’ve fallen foul
Of the “he’s an adult and should take responsibility for himself and I shouldn’t baby him” guidance on here! PS I don’t in any other way and he lives happily in his own house with DDIL

Currently parked in parent/child parking with my 16 year old son, eating salt and vinegar crisps and Peanut m and m's.

LiveLaughLoveFuckOff · 28/02/2020 18:33

My OH had a rare weekday off work, our toddler was in nursery for the day and the older kids were in school. We had a lazy day just the two of us, stayed in pjs, ordered pizza and drinks and watched The Godfather. It was lovely to spend some time together without the kids and without one or both of us being exhausted/having a million things to do!

mumonthehill · 28/02/2020 18:40

While my DH is taking the kids to clubs, I am reading this thread eating a huge bag of M and Ms that I smuggled in earlier!
