Am i being unreasonable?

by looking for an argument with my children this morning, a huge one. I was thinking of maybe planting some drugs on them. Then i can ground them for the summer and thus stop worrying about how i can afford to keep them entertained.

No, sounds like a well thought-out financially sound plan. Have you ever thought about going into business?

Can you not get them on "looking at you in a funny way?"

or why not learn juggling and face painting?

fairyfly · 20/07/2006 10:51

As a financial planner or be hired to parents to plant drugs on kids?

Sounds like a plan. However the only flaw I can see is that if you ground the darlings then you may be in a jail like situation where the line between the jailed and the jailor may become blurred!!

True MTA and what if that dreadful Stockholm syndrome happens, they may end up liking me.

Juggling and face painting are soooooo last year in this house sw.

Save yourself fairyfly and spend like a mad women all summer-anything but them liking you.

Of course you're being unreasonable. You still have to keep them entertained if you ground them but you have to do it in your own house

I don't sd, cartoon network, pot noodles and haribo can entertain them. I can sleep for six weeks. May even leave them a packet of babywipes just because i'm like that.

Leave them fruit shoots too. Or Sunny D. Some "fruit" drink that doesn't need refrigerating anyway.

May make them hyper, they need some sort of downer, i'll leave my Gin bottles in more obvious places.

can you not walk past with a glass of water, brush into them and then say 'did you spill my pint???!!! Spitting whilst speaking adds to the effect (affect?).
