I'm a working mum and I don't think that ! I think that all SAHMs must sit on the sofa being bored out of their heads all day - like I was when I was a SAHM !

Since I went back to work I have done baking every saturday with dd and she does craft all the time - in the evening for half an hour and all weekend - or so it seems !!!

So stop generalising !!

I give DS crayons and paper, and occasionally get the playdoh out, but M & T groups and brave friends cater for any more hardcore and messy activities involving paint/glue/glitter etc.

Twiglett....that papier mache dinosaur.
Is is green with yellow spots?
Comes in a white box?
Tiny packet of glue and the pain comes in miniscule pots about as big as a thimble?

we have a half made one too.

And it was a present!!!!

Scatterbrain please reassure me that your 'bored' comment is some wierd attempt at being sarcastic???
I wish i had f*ckin time to be bored, my life is very fulfilled ta.

i work three days a week and i think work is easier and less stressful, although i enjoy being at home with my son.
so i dont think its all fun and lovliness to stay at home.

BTw my last sentence was in case you were for real, if not then plase ignore and read on

You are a disgrace the lot of you - call yourselves mothers

On another note is it pancake day today- better had be - I rushed home from work and have just finished making and eating them only to realise that there hasn;t been any of the usual pancake day rubbish in the newspapers.

Have I jumped the gun???

It is today. I ignored it hate the damn things. I got a pang of never doing crafts with my DS who does them the whole time at nursery so we had a playdoh moment on Sunday. And I mean moment, it lasted as long as it took to get all colours out of ther tubs, mix them all together, drop bits on the floor which attached themselves to his socks, which he then trod into the new carpet.

I won't be bothering again.

i think it is next tuesday - better be or i've miserably failed my lot!

Isn't it Tuesday 28th?

Oh flip!!!!

Think I should have given the perfect mothers SAHM thread a miss - was trying to hard

too

mykidsmum - no not being sarcastic - I said I had been bored so I assumed everyone else must be ! Worst 5 yrs of my life !

Each to their own eh ! lol

PS. If I wanted to be sarcastic I can assure you that you would know it !

god I love pancake day, got my maple syrup today!

yum!!

Next Tuesday I am sure.

So cod why do you not do crafts with your kids? I do crafts and play-doh and cooking and puzzles and shopping and allow DD to sit on my knee while I pluck my own eyebrows (can't afford to get them done) and work 3 days a week.

its hard with fins !

scatterbrain, sitting on the sofa all day! How??? Tell me how you did it? I wouldn't mind a couple of days of that. There are some days I literally do not sit down until the kids are in bed, I don't do toddler groups and I don't have a wide circle of friends that I meet for coffee, TBH I don't know how I would fit it in.

Mrs Spoon - it's called PND love ! Crippled me for 5 yrs - could not summon energy to get arse off sofa !

Anyone else wanna ask me anything ?
