[NattyThomasandEllen]

ah sparkly new thread.. i spotted this on my friends face book and had to share it:

WHY GOD MADE MOMS
Answers are given by 2nd grade school children to the following questions:

Why did God make mothers?

1. She's the only one who knows where the scotch tape is.
2. Mostly to clean the house.
3. To help us out of there when we were getting born.

How did God make mothers?

1. He used dirt, just like for the rest of us.
2. Magic plus super powers and a lot of stirring.
3. God made my Mom just the same like he made me. He just used bigger parts.

What ingredients are mothers made of ?

1. God makes mothers out of clouds and angel hair and everything nice in the world and one dab of mean.
2. They had to get their start from men's bones. Then they mostly use string, I think.

Why did God give you your mother and not some other mom?

1. We're related.
2. God knew she likes me a lot more than other people's moms like me.

What kind of little girl was your mom?

1. My Mom has always been my mom and none of that other stuff.
2. I don't know because I wasn't there, but my guess would be pretty bossy.
3. They say she used to be nice.

What did mom need to know about dad before she married him?

1. His last name.
2. She had to know his background. Like is he a crook? Does he get drunk on beer?
3. Does he make at least $800 a year? Did he say NO to drugs and YES to chores?

Why did your mom marry your dad?

1. My dad makes the best spaghetti in the world. And my Mom eats a lot.
2. She got too old to do anything else with him.
3. My grandma says that Mom didn't have her thinking cap on. Ha ha ha ha!!!

Who's the boss at your house?

1. Mom doesn't want to be boss, but she has to because dad's such a goof ball.
2. Mom. You can tell by room inspection. She sees the stuff under the bed.
3. I guess Mom is, but only because she has a lot more to do than dad.

What's the difference between moms & dads?

1. Moms work at work and work at home and dads just go to work at work.
2. Moms know how to talk to teachers without scaring them.
3. Dads are taller & stronger, but moms have all the real power 'cause that's who you got to ask if you want to sleep over at your friend's
4. Moms have magic, they make you feel better without medicine.

What does your mom do in her spare time?

1. Mothers don't do spare time.
2. To hear her tell it, she pays bills all day long.

What would it take to make your mom perfect?

1. On the inside she's already perfect. Outside, I think some kind of plastic surgery.
2. Diet. You know, her hair. I'd diet, maybe blue.

If you could change one thing about your mom, what would it be?

1. She has this weird thing about me keeping my room clean. I'd get rid of that.
2. I'd make my mom smarter. Then she would know it was my sister who did t and not me.
3. I would like for her to get rid of those invisible eyes on the back of her head.

just thought it was funny!

Brilliant news Daisy!!!!

Actually having two so close if fine. They'll both be napping at the same time before you know it. I think DS2 stayed in our room for 6 months, then they shared. Its always been fine.

Believe me, DS will NOT want to share his room with the LOs if my children are anything to go by!

BTW Daisy, am just about to FB you.

We have no water. All SE and SW postcodes have been affected by a burst watermain.

That is why the breakfast bowls remain unwashed, as do the children, and us!

Honest!!

foxy have replied but will need to do some digging for you!

daisy we had ellen in with us for about 4 months till she slept thru, then put her in with tom, in toms cot and bought him a bed. so tom went into a bed at only 14 months and we left his cot empty for a few months so he got over it being "his" cot.
they do wake each other up, but not often, usually when one is sick its a pain. (or when tom wont go bed and is screaming, and ellen gets upset cos tom is)
we stagger their bedtime now to make it easier, put ellen down 6.30 and tom 7.30 so that 1. tom gets an hour with me undivided attention and all that and 2. ellen is dead to the world when tom goes bed and me reading a story doesnt even wake her!

oh and shelves WERE attatched to wall using mothercare furnitture strap thingy. my walls are damp and nothing stays in them!

im going to buy the box things in ikea.. u know the ones u put plasic boxes in like drawers?

I believe they get a lot comfort from having someone else there. And they play really nicely in their room together, which is surprising as they fight when I'm around!

Glad DD is OK Daisy and no more ABs required.

Jamlet is being a pain - she's tired but won't nap. DH was trying to settle her earlier and she poked him hard in the face and then laughed and laughed. Was hard for us not to laugh at her though.

BUGGER ABOUT THE WATER FOXY...oops sorry

I think DD gets her confidence from seeing her big bro and trying to copy him, and she is a natural extrovert as well. She hears the word bad a million times a day, bad DS, bad cat, bad baby, so it's little wonder she has picked it up quickly. Early talkers are not that great though; you soon wish that they would just shut up and long for a bit of peace and quiet; DS was speaking in sentences from about 12 months, and hasn't ever stopped talking since........to the point that it does my bloody head in. I would love a quiet reflective child like my nephew, or one who was content to sit and play quietly rather than feeling like they have to fill the silence with words all the bloody time.

take now for instance. I put a film on for him; is he sitting quietly watching? no, he's jumping around the room pretending to be one of the X-Men and asking me "do you want to be storm mum? do you mum? mum do you? storm can do this mum and she's got blond hair so you can be her can't you mum, would that be good mum" AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH child, just be still!!!!!!!!!!

lol daisy know what u mean!
ellen has picked up talking very early too, but tom was delayed so i have had one of each.
i would say i prefer the early talker cos when they hit 18 months and they STILL cant tell you what they want, tantrums ensue!
nice to see ellen isnt the only early talker, i though i was imagining it to be honest, i was just so suprised by it!

waters on, kids washed and dressed, fed, I am still feral though. My house is a tip again though!

I can't remember when my first spoke but I do know that DD1 hasn't stopped yet

Have just gone through the huge pile of stuff that is too small for the jamlet and boxed up some to keep. And also gone through the stuff she hasn't worn yet but is now big enough for. Honestly, this child has so many clothes

me to jammy.. its an addiction... ellen has so many party dresses its ridiculous!

hmm.. ok lost my house keys, and the mince for dinner has gone off... all i have in my cupboards are beans soup corned beef and tined potatoes..... help!

my fucking arse of a DH and I have had a huuuuuuuuuuge fight. He is pissing me off royally, and I wish he would just feck off back to work so I can do stuff at my own pace. He is in a strop and has taken DD out in the buggy, and I am a lazy fecker who is more interested in the lives of strangers than I am in my own family...this because it was 1:15, I was on here and the kids hadn't had any lunch! Never mind that DD had just finished a bottle so there was no point in feeding her, and DS said he wasn't hungry as he'd not long before that had a snack. tosser.

I told him to stop telling me to go and sit down; he'll do x, y and z, and then complaining at me that I do nothing.......oh yeah, except for look after the kids single handedly when he isn't here.........

he forgets though that although he is good at the laundry and at doing the washing up he never wipes worktops and cupboard doors or sweeps/cleans the kitchen floor, or for that matter, dusts, changes the bedding, cleans the fecking piss off the rim of the toilet and the toilet floor (and it's bloody well not me that gets it there), cleans the toilet at all for that matter, or the bathroom, does the inside of the windows...oh I could go on, but the housework fairy will get annoyed that I'm trying to steal her thunder.

all he sees is a few toys lying around a pile of paperwork and I'm a lazy slattern.

my hubby is total opposite and wont do ANYTHING, and tells me not to worry about it, when the house looks awful!

sorry ur DH being a royal pratt... if it helps, ive spent today on here and done no housework either so there!

Sorry to hear things aren't going well in the Daisy household And about your keys, Natty

Words have been had here too But I think we'll live

Wow, dh & i aren't the ones fighting for a change! sorry, not being smug but it's usually us who have been fighting on here.

i did loads of housework yesterday but it didn't look like it IYKWIM? I cleaned the bathroom (including washing the shower curtain) did 3 loads of washing, put loads of laundry away, half sorted out the bedroom (though looked worse than when I started but DD got clingy half way through, did the washing up, made roast dinner and still took DD to the park. but it didn't look like I had done anything, especially with dd leaving death and destruction in her wake!

On that note - very scary natty, hope DS was ok. Will he learn? I expect not

What's the prob with you and DH jammy?

Very jealous of your talkers. DD doesn't shut up either but it's just babble still.

Natty - cant you fry the corn beef and potatoes cut up - then add the beans and soup - - surely it would be some sort of hash?

Hope you're feeling calmer Daisy!

yeah thats what im going to have to do i wanted a proper roast! so annoying

thanks bumper it was scary
but im sure i will get over it...
and he wont learn so i threw them out, im going to get low ikea units instead, the worst he will do it climb on them and jump off at a relativly low height!!!!

my dinner was suprisingly nice...

Crumbs Daisy, what a twunt...... surprislingly things calm in the SG household, esp now dcs settled and asleep. DH and I also went out had a meal and got pissed, the only thing missing was the rampant quick shag that we would have had 10 years ago But hey! can't have everything I suppose... hooray for rabbits I say!!!

Obviously this was last night, we haven't been out today with DCs and got pissed, now that would have been bad parents!

BTW Natty you are absolutely NOT a bad mother!

Have had a very quick catch up glad to hear all respective DCs seem to be on mend. Poor Trace, what a crap time, sending loadsa (((hugs)))

DD was a slow talker, now she doesn't stop talking, she talks not stop all day. Am not really sure why she was a slow talker as she was read to all the time, sang to, talked to..... think sometimes its because she didn't have to say what she wanted, I just automatically did it/got it or whatever. Though I did worry she would have tantrums,but no can honestly say she has never been a tantrum-ey girl, DS on the other hand is already showing signs of a real bad temper , however he doesn't say anything just makes lots of noise, he is far noisier than DD.
