To think my little boy is an absolute sweetheart?

[Maythefoursbewithyou]

I don't drink often, almost never because I'm terrible at it. Anyway, a series of strange events yesterday meant that I ended up very much on the sauce and quite pickled when I went to bed at around 3am.
Husband is very asleep and I woke up about an hour ago feeling bloody rotten. My 7 year old came into my bed with a tin of biscuits and a pint of squash and had put ' call the midwife' on my work computer which doubles as the TV for my bedroom. I just couldn't love this kid any more right now. What a little legend he is. I don't deserve him. Currently smashing my way through some custard creams and watching my favourite show with the cutey next to me and feeling so bloody lucky. Lazy day incoming. Anyone else just get blown away sometimes by how nice their kids are and Wonder where it came from?

🤣🤣🤣

Mine neither, their favourite is Fosters. I like Birra Moretti.

Carlsberg for me. 🍺

My chaps like a Moretti. Mind you, they are 35 and 26

What about your 7yo?
Trying to get my 7yo onto lambrini to save money but he keeps being sick, it really interrupts my bathroom shooting up session

No, I have young children to care for.

Yes and I imagine a militarily strict routine to adhere to

Sir yes sir

MN will Send the angry pitch fork wielding mob around at dusk.

Do you never go into a different room to them??

@Crazedndazed I’ll make sure I’ve stubbed my fag out in my lager can

🤣🤣🤣

Not at all. How do the two things, care for a child's safety and being too strict. Read my reply, relating to my former job.

You have small children at retirement age?

If your house is one of “Let me tell you a story of DANGER” sounds like a laugh a minute.

Who has chip pans nowadays would have thought most 10 year olds would lnow not to put water on fat or electrical fires! They learn that stuff in Beavers and Brownies!

dangerous too, having small kids at retirement age, never know what might happen

I've got a chip pan.

Or the air fryer!

Is anyone else craving lovely deep fried chips right now 🤤

Do you happen to be in Yorkshire? Rustle some up and throw them my way please love

I was just going to say, unrelated but how good are proper fresh deep fried chips at home. Nice bit of salt and vinegar. Fucking heavenly

What if they were not in Beavers or Brownies, it's not mandatory. This incident did happen some time ago, but it is an illustration of what can happen. Today, it may be as simple as heating oil in a frying pan, it may be incorrectly using a microwave, it maybe, trying to cook something in an oven and not realise the gas has not ignited. Plenty of danger in a home. It may be an incident that I was called to which involved candles and teenagers.

SO good! We never had one at home but my nanna had one in her shed and as a teen the first thing I’d do when visit was to say hello, the second thing was, even if I was about to be fed, I’d go to her shed and make Proper Chips.

Air fryer ones are not the same and I will die on this hill.

Firefighters visit schools from reception age and they’re told about deep fat fryers and pan fires.
I’d be amazed if a 10yo with no knowledge of putting out a fire did anything except run to mum
