Oh me too! me too!

I'm more evil than you because we've got a PS2, an Xbox, a Gamecube and a Dreamcast. Everybody has their own gameboy (me and Dh have SPs) and we let them play them!!!!!!

go to McDonalds.........actually in the MN levels of bad motherhood, that's probably worse than games consoles.

Let them watch telly before school.

QueenOfQuotes · 19/09/2005 11:12

but hasn't it been proved that some time spent playing gamecubes/playstation etc etc - can actually be beneficial to some children.

I'm not talking spending all day staring at it, but in short 'chunks' I'm sure I read somewhere that it actually helped to aid concentration and other 'things' in children

Ds2 still often uses a bottle at 2.7yrs.

Ds1 has an entire arsenal of toy guns and weapons.

Ds2 was still running around hyper at midnight last night.

I could be typing for a long time.......

QueenOfQuotes · 19/09/2005 11:16

I buy cheesestrings because they like them, and it makes doing their packed lunches easier, ditto mini pepperamis and frubes.

Actually I'd better be careful posting on here, or I might get blanked at the christmas meal!

coppertop · 19/09/2005 11:26

Ds2 drinks the tea that people leave in the bottom of their cups.

fastasleep · 19/09/2005 11:28

Go out every day? Are you mad? You're all mad.. I hope you're all taking the p... ... who the bl...y hell cares if you go to flipping Mc Donalds or if you let your kids eat yoghurt.....

I've cracked.. totally and utterly cracked, I'm going to start pulling my hair out and rocking to and fro mumbling to myself in about five minutes...
