I’d like to think we are open too. Dm clutches her pearls when ds says boobies or bum crack. Apparently it’s not nice and he shouldn’t say them.
He says bum crack because he has a book about a boy who breaks his bum (it has a crack in it...).
And boobies because he squished mine and asked what they were. Have asked Dm what I should call them and she couldn’t answer.
I don’t remember what word we used when I was a kid although we probably didn’t.
Dm is a funny one. In a therapy session I’ve likened her to the cat from “Oi frog” because “it’s not about being comfortable it’s about doing the right thing” and that’s her to a tee. You smile and do what is expected.
She’s most pissed off that at my age (36) I don’t just shop in M&S and didn’t get my hair cut short after having the kiddos. Apparently a mother can’t cope with long hair. The kids will pull it. (I do cope. Yes they pulled it. But I wash it about once a week so it actually works well! And now hairdressers are closed I don’t need to worry. Unlike her with her pixie cut....)
There’s also the “I shouldn’t have any “me” time” because the kids come first. This is classic Dm. She never had any time “off” from dsis and I when we were growing up. And doesn’t see why I need it. Says it’s selfish. although Dh is absolutely allowed because he works so so hard
Apparently I’m pushing myself too hard by trying to have everything - free time, friends, career, family (in no particular order). And should just focus on one of them. Being family.
And rant over.
Catface has eaten all of her breakfast in one go and has let Dd chase her a bit. And has sicked on the rug.
