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?

I wish my 28 year old was lol.

Mind you, he doesn't live at home anymore.

Years ago after spending 2 weeks in hospital with a badly broken leg. My DS stepped up and made a lovely roast for everyone (he was 12). He also made me a coffee which turned out to be gravy granules with milk and sugar. Hus younger brother who was 8 decided to help by hiding my crutches as a joke

How can you infer this lmao

If I was in need and said 'I'm not well/extremely tired', my 6yo would know offer me a drink and be able to make toast. Is really not that hard.

A three year old, sure.

was your DH also trashed OP?

Where on earth did you get that from.

I think he sounds a lovely little boy and haven't seen one post criticising him (unless you're taking the requests for a bacon butty etc seriously).

The only negative posts on here have been directed towards the op and her (lack of) parenting, not towards her son.

I don’t think having a hangover is bad parenting personally

It isn’t. Some people on this thread are just arseholes.

@Maythefoursbewithyou he sounds lovely ❤️ enjoy your lazy day together!

I’m not sure I believe this thread.

If it was a one off, I don’t think the 7 yo would be so clear on what you needed. I don’t buy the “well a little kid would want biscuits and squash” - he was obviously thinking of what the OP habitually likes in putting on CTM.

WTAF are you whittling on about 😆

Wow!! You don't play nice at all, do you?

A friend was sick and her 5yo delivered her tea and carrots.
He learnt it from Bing.

If you aren’t bright enough to understand my easily understandable post I’m not sure how you expect me to help you?

Perhaps read it again for good measure?

a large subsection of MNers who hate men (fine, many men are shits) but have extended this to hating little boys.

😆

Chill out people 🤣 and read the thread! Op dh wasn't passed out & hungover this morning, he was shattered because he'd been working long shifts. The little lad more than likely thought op was just not very well if it's a rare occurance. He was perfectly safe in his own home. My own dgs is also 7 years old & is very capable of getting himself some cereal, a plastic glass of milk in the morning. Not because he's had to but because he wanted to learn to be independent from a young age. He knows not to touch the cooker, kettle, knives. Indeed he did just that this morning as my dd is full of flu & her partner had to work.
I've seen videos on YouTube & Tiktok of children as young as him, in 3rd world countries, taking care of the younger ones, handling pans of boiling water, cooking.
And why assume her ds was swimming in a pool unsupervised while the op was off her face on cocktails?

boys are way nicer in childhood than girls by a country mile

it gets better!!

I’ve done a quick AS on that poster, it’s VERY clear their sole purpose on MN is to stick the boot in wherever possible. Even on quite pedestrian threads.

Telltale signs of a deeply unhappy individual really.

You’re kinda proving my point TBH

says you!

i find it sad that you have a daughter and that in your experience boys are much nicer than girls 😔

@steamedisbest no, the op has stated her dh had been working long back to back shifts 🙄

I think you think you have a winning comment here when in actual fact, given you have a daughter, it’s a bit odd and sad

This

This 'smashing little' kid is so used to one, the other or both parents getting inebriated and hungover, that he knows what to do when it happens

This is one of the ACEs (Adverse Childhood Events) that people seek counselling for in later life

He is a caregiver already and is too independent for a 7 year old

This is not a thread to be proud of OP

i want a separate thread about the “strange events”!!

All the wonderful parents on this thread 🙄

Why is it sad?
