Some of ours..

Saturday night telly (or a film when there's no Dr Who or Predator or I'd Do Anything) with home made pizza.

Pancakes for breakfast on Sundays.

Growing our own potatoes.

General family meeting/debrief on Thursday evening (only night when nobody has an activity) so everyone can talk about anything followed by Uno.

Broadstairs Folk Festival.

Always making all birthday cards.

Daddy gets a lie in on Sundays but needs to be pestered every 15 minutes by someone offering him a cup of tea.

Mummy always cries at everything - baby photos, little socks, I'd Do Anything....and has to be brought tissues.

All particularly brilliant drawings, painting, stories etc are sent immediately to Grandma.

It's so freeing.

I don't care if I am not good at mother things.I didn't apply for this job anyway.Just seemed to fall into it. Not enough holidays and you get made redundant in the end.

'we grunt abotu the locaiton of the remote control '

ditto - we lost the kids' sky remote - it was missing for about 2 years, I kid you not, we found it the other week behind the radiator in a mass playroom clear out - it was a seriously unifying moment in the GDG household

We don't do any of this stuff either.

Unless you count en masse mean imitation of Daddy's huff-sneeze (RA- HAAAH!!) - but hang on that's fostering family divisiveness isn't it, so the opposite.

I have managed to send my smallest child to neighbours. Hurrah!!I have the streets entire collection of teenagers in my house.How did that happen!! Do I feed them?

Bink · 05/05/2008 10:54

Despite not doing on-purpose glue stuff, I should say I think it's a lovely way of being if you have the time for it.
