according to the BBc Breakfast show this morning.
I think a teachers' union said it?

Anyway, in light of this, I decided it was about time DD did some housework.

I told her it would start with her tidying up the lounge, when it's all her mess.

She looked at me, raised her eyebrows, laughed and carried on watching the telly.

What did you do then?

Chubfuddler · 07/04/2012 10:17

I hope you switched it off.

nickel Bang on the money. At 4 months she's lucky you don't have her working in the shop and having her keep deducted from her wages (she'll be cheap as well being so young), never mind tidying up the house Grin

Haha, I've just generated 2 A4 sides of jobs for the little cherubs to work their way through this weekend.

You need to get her some of these

nickelhasababy · 07/04/2012 10:31

I didn't switch it off, no, I went round and gathered up all the clothes that were strewn all over the floor.

bronze - that's genius!! Grin

She did start to roll this week (Wednesday - back to front, all the way over, including pulling her arm out from underneath her ), so one of those will be perfect (maybe with tape on the bottom to clear up all the cat hair)

Wait... You mean she's not till-trained yet? Shock

nickelhasababy · 07/04/2012 10:44

nah, I tell you, she's lazy.

She is great at chatting to the customers though - she's always got a huge smile for them Grin
