...to install DD at the dining room table with a pile of cutting and sticking stuff....

[womblingfree]

....so I can sit on the corner and MN in peace?!

Yanbu
However, I am as ds will do nowt wihtout me ATM.

YANBU.

Think of some stock praise phrases for when she returns beaming with pride with a bizarre collecting of prittsticked paper that resembles nothing though!

How old's your DS?
DD is 4 and I keep having to pop over to help her.
At least I won't be on here tonight ('bloody Mumsnet again' as my DH now refers to it )

Law - she's actually just come over with apeice of paper conatining 6 triangles stuck together and told me (quite rightly) that she's made a hexagon.

Is it naughty of me to feel a bit smug?!

.. or perhaps not since I myself clearly can't spell!

lol, no feel proud away!

The best of both worlds, being on Mn and be able to burst with pride at Dd's achievement! you just need a cup of coffee and parafdise here we come!

Oh YANBU BTW!

Goodo! Although it appears I spoke too soon. Have been summoned for cheese toastie duties - could be worse!
