This was the other day when I picked the dc's up from school. They already knew we were going straight into town as I had things to do, but weren't happy about it! My friend next to me was laughing as she says hers react the same if it's town/appointments etc.
My youngest was complaining of being hungry so I said why didn't we go to Burger King first for early tea, then I get my things done. Their faces lit up at that, (was feeling quite hungry myself too)!
Of course my friend's children came out behind them and instantly started pestering their mum for Burger King too, "Pleeeease Mum, we can all go together, pleaaaaase!" Their mum wasn't best pleased, said no and that they needed to get home. She shot me a look as she left with them wailing and muttered, "Thanks for that ONTHEPIER!"
I felt awful, was I being unreasonable, wasn't really thinking!
