Please help me i have failed 2 out of my 3 children

[Tortington]

i caught my DD today (13) doing something i am almost ashamed to write. i decided not to change my name - becuase, well.. you would guess by the spelling mistakes, i am almost bside myself.

i walked into the living room and she was watching........Coronation street.

this shock has come only weeks after my DS has become addicted to eastenders whiolst athis girlfriends.

i thought it was bad when he was smoking drugs - but this is almost too much to bare.

can someone help?

shut it snottsleeves

oh v. mature, fannyand zoe

LOL I effing hate it when someone calls me frannyandzoe, or frannyandzoey - you can hear them thinking "she doesn't even know how to spell her daughter's name"

Yes, it always makes me snigger because I can imagine how much it irks you

You are a bad, bad lady

No, i can't be. My kids only watch Bagpuss

TV?

Mine make their own entertainment with, er, bark

:o

i'm sorry, custardo, but once they're watching easties and corrie, they're a lost cause.

I understand from another thread that more aspirational soaps are available from Waitrose - send your DD and DS there forthwith!

hallgerda

very witty!

Custy, have you thought about joining Soap ADDicts AnnOymous (SADDO). I sending you zillions of {{{{{{{{{{{{}}}}}}}}}}}} to help you get through this sensitive and trying time xx

oh custy
i can't imagine what you must be going through.
there must be support groups who could help you-i'm sure there are lots of people whose relatives have similar addictions.
I think the potato idea is good.
I also think you need to keep him away from chocolate-particularly cadburys.it might trigger the cravings.
thinking of you((((00000)))))

i would have to join 'friends and family of a saddo'

i have put my foot down with a firm hand and told dd no more corrie.

my 16yo son is lost however, he is corrupted by GFs family. thank god footballers wives is ending, maybe this will help him

Custardo, try putting EBM into your ds's coffee. It cures everything, you know.

whats EBM?

i watch easties

EXPAT! surely you should be watching Take the High Road for maximum cultural integration?

and as for you Custardo.... tsk [shakes head more in grief than anger emoticon]

Easties IS a cultural experience! :o

is EBM expressed breast milk chipmonkey? surely its too late for that? maybe replacing his vital organs with your own would help?

as is Take the High Road....

am going to see if Dr Tanya can help you Custy...
think you may be too late for the House of Tiny Tearaways, but perhaps she will do a special home visit (with many cameras to shame you of course)and make a one off programme about the Mother who Failed.
If you are beyond help,well, I guess we'll have to lock you up in the MN Prison and throw away the key.

Make sure none of them get hold of repeats of Blakes Seven and Tenko then custy.
Arf at Hallgerda and lots of others on here

There's always Brat Camp . . .

Has anyone mentioned Pobol Y Cwm yet...

Thanks guys, this thread has cheered me up no end, had me giggling at my desk, while my colleagues stare bewildered. Especially Blu
