So, what with our SN mum halos and everything, what are your vices?

[SilkStalkings]

I smoke a couple of fags a day in the garden/car when nobody is looking. I'd quite like to quit but it has become such an ingrained reward system and feeling of entitlement because I don't overeat (much), overdrink or take drugs but feel I should have SOMETHING naughty to compensate all the extra shit being an SN mum brings.
What can I replace my 'sneakerettes' with that will feel as naughty? What do other people do?

Smoking too!

Yep those little white things as well !! but had ds,s formal dx today so a few more of those and a big glass of something special as on own and no one to off load to .....

...does sneaking on here too much count? Only other addiction is to murder mystery books (keeps dh on alert as he fears I'm gathering tips).

Adds note to self to develop more interesting vices.

DS and I like to sneak into Wilkinson's and go mad buying the Candy King pick 'n' mix sweets. Usually about £5 worth . Then it goes into the ceramic apple in the kitchen, I whittle it down a lot quicker than I like to think about. DH loves finding the apple topped up too, it's not just me! Don't drink or smoke, but fizzy cola bottles must be dreadful for you... (but they're so-o good)

Roll-ups, neat whisky, SAS action books, giant bars of Cadbury's Dairy Milk, my bicycle collection, strawberry and white chocolate muffins.......

Vices - oooh hun pull up a pew & allow me to drag you over to the dark side

1. Toons my son REALLY shouldn't repeat at school, past crimes include:-

"Kiss my country ass" - Blake Shelton (antithesis of caring carrot PC) "Blind to you" - Collie Budz (swearing) Brick in the wall - Pink Floyd.

1. Sneaky fags are better than sobbing your heart out/decking someone/losing your rag with a child who can't help asking the same question for the 1000th time.

1. Mumsnet instead of housework, trashy novels instead of housework. Currently taking full advantage of not having a hoard of caring carrots trooping in an out of my living room like a blummin' teenager.

1. An "attitude" - My glare can now freeze at 50 paces.

1. Have abandoned any sense of fashion as I never go anywhere anyways - crocs rock! Ditto hairstyling, make up and all that jazz. IF I ever enter polite society ever again I'l just swipe summat off my sister lol!

1. Every now & then I get the craft bug and can decimate a room faster than my son when that happens!

LOL @ bochead

You've obviously mastered the 'Don't fuck me about' look!

Also guilty of the inappropraite tunes - He's an Arsehole by Dennis Leary being one I used to love humming when thinking of LA etc.

Have to admit to quite an addiction to Roller Coaster Tycoon. When life is totally out of control it's nice to play God with a theme park building computer game.

Erm, getting pg for a third time coz my life ain't high drama enough!

Eating nutella out of the jar with a spoon regularly!

Going into AIBU!

Clicking on those stupid ASD self-Dx threads!

Refusing to move the pile of bricks from my front garden, ever, despite the neighbours repeated hints as Ds and a boy in his class who's mum has sometimes dropped off Ds like to rearrange and build things with them and it's the best and most interaction I have ever seen from DS.

Clean on a 'if this room looks like it could have maybe been clean last night but just had some very messy play today' basis that buys me literally WEEKS of unhoovered floors etc.

bochead I wish you were my best friend !!!!

And I am PROUD of a couple of unsavoury tunes my Ds sings!

House is always in a mess to unexpected visitors ....cos we are in the middle of a sort out ...(ie I never keep it tidy )

I smoke

I drink occasionally

I drink far too much coffee

When stressed, i bleach anthing that doesnt moves, probably due to my speed induced coffee drinking!

House definitely has a lived in look because when I get time to myself I don't do cleaning.
I spend more time on mumsnet than I should and have the time to do.
I buy pick n mix sweets and eat lots more than my share seeing as the kids don't eat sweets.
I have a repertoire of put downs that cut people to the quick, on bad days I get a certain satisfaction at rolling them out on the starers and the pointers particularly when ds is stimming rather than being at all badly behaved.
I leave the house phone permanently off the hook and give none of the professionals my mobile so that I can choose when to call them back and speak to them.

Fags in the car on the way to and from work. Used to have one when the dds were in bed but i go brfore them these days.

Wine. Lovely lovely wine.

MN when i should be doing housework.

crocs.

Reading. Anything. I get completely sbsorbed. Think its a switch off and escspe into fantasy land thing.

MN when I should be getting on with my work, definitely.

I have the crocs too and the hair/body (both neglected) you won't find me on the style and beauty boards that's for sure

No inappropriate songs although dd does a lovely John Shuttleworth repertoire

Never really got the housework bug so maybe the autism gave me a good excuse not to try harder.

Oh and the kindle is my best friend.

No more babies here unfortunately but to people looking in they must think I was nuts to have five.

Wine gums, wine! Poriot - escape into agatha christie land helps me to unwind - a bit!

That's it though, most of our vices are very predictable.

Can't get pissed on a regular basis, who would deal with all the issues?
Too busy fighting the system, managing the SN and the rest of our lives to fit in a lover, and too broke to afford a really good gigalo.
Few babysitters who can cope with the demands, likewise after school care.
Not enough time to fit in constant gym sessions or regular exercise, the mobile always goes when the shit hits the fan.
Likewise no real planning ahead.
Too few friends who know WTF it's like and can be supportive without either wanting to polish said halo or give pointless suggestions and comparisons that make you want to shove them into the nearest lake.

Eating comfort food, watching action movies and sleeping.
Plus my kindle, because you can be 'Thunderbirds Are Go' from 0-60 in the slam of a cover.

browsing about online
online bingo but in my defence, I often win
avoiding housework sometimes (but often I just can't get to it because I have to keep the children separated )
