amongst my DC.

I had to take a jumper back to Fat Face today. I am not a keen shopper - purely an occassional amateur - so I don't blame the DC for hating it too. Usually we divide and rule to put a stop to the whining, swinging on the clothes rails, running around trying to take other shoppers legs from under them and the usual expressions of protest. But this time they tried a new tack. They both walked a few inches from my back the entire time - and managed to be in my way whenever I turned around or tried to move in a new direction. And everytime I asked them to shift, their response would be 'but mummy we're just following you'. Very disturbing.

In the end I banished them from the store to sit on a bench outside.

Please be on the look out for this disturbing behaviour.

And of course they got in the way of other people too - in fact we turned into a sort of triple-person blocking up all the aisles.

At least they didn't come into the changing room with me

Do you think so?

Think that 12yr old would object to reins

You need to dump them with a latte and their DSs in Starbucks for 2 hours so you can shop in peace.
