to be sad that I have not managed to master all necessary household jobs while MNing?

[OooohWhatAFuss]

OK, I can now feed baby, eat, cuddle baby and pay bills over the phone while MNing. Am devestated that at some point I will have to go off and have a shower, get dressed, wash up etc. Any suggestions?

chuck your computer out the window - they are the most evil waste of time ever invented

I am in no position to judge....
I should be cleaning..

Get an iPhone! I have MNed on my iphone while getting dressed! And you can prop it up next to the sink while you wash up, though you need to be careful about splashing & wet fingers.

Not much you can do about the shower unless you can find a totally waterproof phone cover....

What about hiring a housekeeper then all you'd have to do would be to look up from your computer screen and tell her what to do - it would hardly have any impact at all on your mumsnetting.

Is showering and getting dressed really so important? Get your priorities straight.

cuddling a baby isn't a chore!

as for housework - everyhting is prioritised over that!
