Why you need to be thick skinned for this parenting lark!

I was getting dd 2.2 ready for bed last night and started to sing her a song.This was our conversation;

Me: Twinkle,twinkle.....
DD: No STOP IT
ME: Little
DD: SToooop (very pained expression)
ME: don't you like my singing?
DD: Its too hobobul(horrible)mummy. Lets read a book shall we?

Well I did ask

Shouldn't everyone be wearing their hair like DeeDee Doodle?? Tis in all the magazines dontcha know?

We read a book at bedtime featuring a group of animals. ds1 used to persistently point at the rhino and say 'Mama'. I'm a petite size 12

I'm glad I'm not the only mother who is told to stop singing.

Every time we walk past a hairdressers ds tells me I should go in and have a haircut.

Me (attempting to initiate a game): I spy with my little eye, something yellow.
DD1: Your teeth are yellow, Mummy!

Another time, when we were in the car and I had missed a turning: "Would you like ME to drive, Mummy, because you keep making mistakes?"

oooo laughing at i spy....:

This is a v funny thread. Makes a nice change from all the bickering on some others!

Ds (2.3) thinks the Gruffalo is like daddy - he is rather hairy but I think a little more attractive than the Gruffalo.

dd [5] "What are those red things on the end of your boobies?"

Me: Nipples, they are for feeding babies

dd: So does your tummy fill with milk when you have a baby in there?

Me: No, your boobies do.

dd: Ohhhhhh is that why yours are all hangy & droopy? Mammy...are we getting a baby?"

My Mum is a widow and when she was going on holdidays I told her to make sure to pick up a bloke. She laughed and said she'd do her best, when ds2 piped up, "Don't be stupid, Nana, old women don't date!"

DD sitting in the back of the car, Granddad driving,

"Granddad, why have you got a hole in your hair?"

Great thread. Rofl at the auntie fur coat and nae knickers

OMG, had to google David Dickinson, not the nicest of compliments to be compared to him!

Have you let the DCs out of the cellar yet?

DS (2.4) was looking at me thoughtfully the other day then asked, 'What you for, mummy?'

I loved the I spy one!

There used to be an advert on tv for save the bears or something similar - 'this bear has been driven mad', cue picture of mad mangy bear rocking back and forth.

Ds used to rush up to the TV, pointing at it saying 'mummy'.

HE's also got to come everywhere wiht me atm to look after me 'in case you fall over'.

It's nice to know my child has such a high opinion of me

rolf @ mad bear mummy!

dd (2.6) this morning - "I need to put a new top on, Mummy - this one isn't ironed properly".

Little Madam !

Picking DD up from pre-school, i was greeted by her bursting into tears demanding to know where her daddy was..... Nice.

On dropping off dd from (Steiner) nursery:
"You should go to the pub today mummy"
Apparently I am too cross and the pub makes me happy.
Also I resemble the Fat Controller.

LOL
me too stripeymama!

Grim isn't it.

And of course "Daddy is cleverer/kinder/richer/never horrible/better at looking after me"

Yeah yeah. That's because he only sees you one weekend in eight.

This evening I was told that I do stinky farts and that she "doesn't need a smelly mummy"

I'm now quite glad DS is bit slow on the speech front!

As a child, I told one granny that I preferred the other granny to her as she wasn't all wrinkly to look at.

And I told a good looking young salesman that my mum was on the toilet doing a jobby, just as she appeared behind me at the door. she has never forgiven me.

ROFL suzi!

my only plus stripey mama is that to dd apparently my farts smell (D)elicious....(glad i get something right!)
