By Bramshott on Tue 18-Mar-08 16:03:19 on can I eat this quiche question:

Ah you'll be fine! DD1 was eating a yoghurt last week and said "it's got paper in mummy" and proceeded to pull a large piece of green mould out of her mouth. Looked at packaging and they were 11 days out of date blush. Worst bit was that there was a friend and her mum there too!

I think both our children have an interesting take on Freud's Electra complex (that your mum cut off your penis because her mum cut off hers )

Mine has replaced my mother with a crocodile, and yours has come up with a solution to penis envy - woolies (who's have thought it?)

Evening all - bit later than normal, but can we have your nominations, please?

My friend had a little boy who was my DD's best friend.
He was totally obsessed and would spend most of their play dates dry humping various pieces of furniture. I could never quite concentrate on what she was saying as poor little PFB was rodgering the sofa and yet found myself insanely compelled to say nonchelant things about the wee grunting boy.
I think "gosh he's growing isn't he" was bad but " I can really see your DH in him " was a spectacular low.

from pagwatch on this thread. i know its long (have edited a little), but i laughed so much i weed myself a little...

any of Squiffy's lazy parenting tips:

By Squiffy on Wed 26-Mar-08 13:05:25
When DC's wake in the night and need attention, kick or elbow DH awake with the words "I did it last time". Even if there wasn't a 'last time'

When taking your DC's to school remember to bark in a loud and braying voice how marvellously your DC's are doing with their mandarin/violin lessons. You will never be approached by other mothers and can make quick exit from the playground.

Ensure that your children eat their tea in the bath. That way they cannot 'leave' any because they have nowhere to put it, there are no dirty clothes to clean when they spill anything, and it will take half the time. (Not recommended for pasta dishes)

With newborns, always invest in a hamster water dispensor and attach to side of baby's cot. squeeze in some boob milk every once in a while when passing.

Constantly allow your DC's to 'overhear' your conversations with DH regarding the grandaparents and how they have been discussing having the kids stay for a sleepover and lashigns of ice cream. That way they will nag their GP's to stay and you will graciously accept when the GP's give in and offer to have them.

get a nanny, a housekeeper, a cleaner, a cook and a chauffeur. and encourage your DH towards an 'open' marriage. That way your whole family will never bother you again.

OK, I don't recall the thread, and it was ages ago, but on asking PussinJimmyChoos whether she'd bought an expensive bag she'd been coveting, the reply was:-

"No. Yesterday, I casually threw my £3.00 mummy bag on the floor as I was putting ds into his car seat. It was then I realized that if I bought a bag for £150.00, I would chuck ds on the floor and put the bag on the carseat!"

Desiderata · 27/03/2008 09:19

Bloody funny, though!

What a dirtyminded old bat. Seriously, she needs to haul her imagination out of the gutter - boobs are for babies, men just get to borrow 'em!

by Anchovy about taking the stabilisers off her sons bike on this thread.

"On Sunday in the park he set off, saying "You can run to keep up with me if you want Mum, but don't tell me when to stop". And I thought at the time what a resonant statement that was, as he wobbled off in a determined manner."

It's a very sentimental thread, and that post did make me cry just a tiny little bit

[saddo]

Slubberdegullion · 02/04/2008 18:13

or this by frumpygrumpy on the same thread

"Being so big it almost hurts when they want to sit on your knee. And you can't see over the top. And you want to say "darling, you're a bit big for this" but you can't and won't and you cry inwardly at where the time went".
