Are you such a good parent...?

[Tellykidswhilstyouareonline]

Honestly, are you online "theorising about good parenting" whilst your kids are watching telly in the other room. If you're such a good parent, why aren't you making things or playing with the kids?

I have cracked open the rum after having strapped ds to the bed and locked him in his room for falsely claiming he was having nightmares.

Garry, is that you?

i only mumsnet after bedtime

however i throw them stale custard creams while they watch nick jnr all day so i can watch or read twilight and google twi-porn

Actually, the fact that my 18mth old & 6 yr old can occupy themselves for a while, while I MN makes me a good mum!

They all need some 'me time'

I'm MNing with one hand while holding my breastfeeding DD with the other. Unless you think that I should be simultaneously breastfeeding and scrubbing the kitchen floor?

I am perfect, obviously. I have read all the books. When this baby comes out I will be the perfect mother who always know what to do as I have done all the reading.

"So you don't worry about the kids, or have any other obligations.... and of all the things you could choose to do with your time, you do this..?
Mumsnet? emptyheadedmoron.net"

So what are you doing on here then??

Oh shit. Thanks for reminding me. Mine is waiting to be dressed for school.He's had breakfast though... I'm off
2/10

If I'm on the computer it keeps them off face book.....That's good parenting innit?

Garry, isnt he the snail on Spongebob?

Mine's weeping on my lap as she has pox.
God knows where the other one is. It's gone all quiet so DH must have taken her to school.

my ds is asleep on my lap and still breast feeding, who says boys cant multi-task?

I can only MN when ds is asleep or out at nursery.

I am therefore a GOod Parent, but Shite Housekeeper.

Bohoooo! I tried to play with dd and make lovely little crafty things but the headteacher wouldn't let me in

I tried again to interest the dses in some craft activities, or a Nice Board Game of some sort, and they just gave me strange looks before they sloped off to play xbox or msn their mates read educational books and do their homework!!

mine are all married and about their lawful business -neglecting- looking after their own families.

ah TWO hyphens!! neglecting

I am at work. does that make me a really crap parent (and worker too?)

How dare you

I never theorise about good parenting, it comes naturally

I'm at work too squeeze, and I work with children so I'm neglecting them as well, all the while being a totally crap mother b/c my DS is at daycare. It's a gift really, being this terrible of a person.

Ah, this thread has made me smile...

So, what is this good parenting you mention?

I don't parent. I am a parent. And I'm not a 'good' parent I'm just their parent.
