Welcome, ciao, hello

Blimey Brange, you are certainly not a natura morta kind of woman!

boh

I did propose painting a nude of myself (obviously drastically editing all the saggy bits) to replace it but he was having none of it. They are really ugly flowers.

LOL Sputnik!

If we get the house I've been talking about, I guarantee it has The. Worst. Decor. Ever. I would win that competition...

But. we're going to keep it like that for a few years, so that DD - in the messiest, pukiest, painting-on-the-wall-est, destroying-est stage of her life - can run riot, and we won't give a shit. After that, we only need to find a small fortune to get it all in order...

Did you really ???

I think the only piece of furniture that gets damaged by small children is the sofa, other than that I think they are not necessarily all "destroyers"

I used to draw on the walls when I was little. And once burnt a whole in the carpet. And put our pets in the toilet and washing machine (though was unable to turn it on, thank goodness). And took the back lights off my dad's car. And got drunk 3 times before I was 5 on my dad's booze.

It may be hereditary.

I am taking no chances.

A hole!

The shame!

And covered the dog in fairy liquid. He was green and frothed for a week each time it rained.

And put a dead mouse (caught by our cat) in a jar in the kitchen. Where it rotted. For ages.

yes, I would take NO chances as well then !

And used to dispose of my sandwiches (I still don't really like sandwiches) behind the tv. Where they mouldered for weeks.

you were positively evil Penthe!

No, mine has never destroyed a thing. She's always drawn on paper (never on walls), doesn't poke around much where she's not supposed to and has only ever broken one thing - she's had ceramic plates and glass glasses since she was aroung 9mo. She also tends to behave in restaurants and stuff like that[smug mummy emoticon]. My niece, OTOH, is a teppista, whereas her olde bro was like my DD. Depends entirely on the child you're dealt.

I was a naughty child. Even though I had a SAHM.

X posts.

Oh blimey Penthe, batten down the hatches now!

Ah well, that you see is why you were what your were. DD has a WOHM. Teppista niece has a SAHM, although was WOHM with the 1st one. I rest my case

How can that be possible then????

I was quick. And subtle.

No, mine are not teppisti (until now, lets all remember this) and I don't work

I have a confession to make...

Yes but you sent them to nursery, so it was if you worked....

lol penthe. Lol at being subtle.

What's your confession? I'm all ears.

Penthe - this is the proof that SAHMs have their reflexes blunted.

It is definitely hereditary, though.

My dad once burnt down a wood.

And was washed out to sea in a rubber dinghy he stole, with his cousin. They had to be rescued by the local fishermen.

See, see how morally unhinged I was? How decadent? How hazardous it's been on my children to be with strangers in those precious years?
