Oh dear just had a paddy and chucked ds's dinner in the bin [blush]

[FrannyandZooey]

Feel free to remind me of this next time I talk about punishments being counter productive and letting them regulate their own food intake

Franny. You have always impressed me with your Zen-like calmness on most matters.

Although I am sorry that you've had a shitty end to your day. Do you mind if I also feel some relief at the knowledge that if even you have lost it, there is hope for me yet?

Ah well,it gets to us all.

My kids have had Fuck all to eat tonight

Also...I didn't go to the Christmas concert because......

in both cases I COULLDN'T BE ARSED.

hello mooney!

Alright MT?

I am loving your feminist tracts dotted here there and everywhere over MN. You are a terrific writer. Are you doing your MA?

rofl! I am getting tipsy! Thanks for the compliment, but I have no money to study properly so am going to go back to the very unacademic acting! I am still trying to study freelanct but it is so hard with no money to buy books or to afford childcare. Me and DP going much better though.

And haev you notice I have come over to your side re Islamism?

Oh I am very very glad that things are better with you and dp.Excellent news. Relatinoships worth fighting tooth and nail for I always feel.

Bummer about the studying though. You are brilliant with a terrific brain.

Where are you talking Islam? I haven't seen it.Not on in the day anyomre,as back at work f/t (am studying for MSc and running a business.Dh away so is killing me.)

Sorry for the hijack FrannY!

Have been reading a lot of Hirsi Ali, have you heard of her? She was the women working with Theo Van Goch when he was murfdered in denmark. Really think now western feminists need to get over their obsession with PC'ness and multiculturalisn and tackle what's happening to women in those cultures.

You inTurkey at te mo? Wintering?

Am back in UK now Monkey and have been for a bit now (my work and study is here) Dh is in Tajikistan now. I haven't had a spare minute to go and see him.

I know the woman you mean yes.Have read a fair bit about her too.
I agree wholeheartedly with all you say.

It's not bloody on. Not at all.

I'm off to collapse now. See you around teh boards I hope. If you see me drivlling on, pile in!!

Will do!
G'night.

oh franny, you too eh?

currently have Shit Mother ishoos too.

and not wearing make up either - went into soton today shopping, caught sight of unblowdried, unmade up even slightly,me in mirror and felt worse (for being shallow enogh to give a shit)

ho hum.

Oh I have make up, am I ok then?

LOL at zen like and all that

I just keep quiet about the bad bits usually, god there have been a few lately

still this is a new day and ds says "you are my best mummy"

All has been hink it is said on this really but I think it is much more difficult to stay sane and reasonable all day during the winter months when you are outside less so the kids play up a bit more 'specially in the evenings.

I have frequently lost rag with ds for his food ishoo's and dh has resorted to using fabricated 'meetings' with a christmas elf in order to get ds to clear his plate neither are particularly healthy methods imo.

My mum used to threaten us with 'shit with sugar on it' for dinner when we played her up - her bad temper is and was legendary, but I am perfectly normal [twitch, twitch]
