ah, yes, the very concise shot of syringes.

my children hate me for that

misscutandstick · 30/06/2009 19:36

when you think that 'hunt the errant poo' is an acceptable game to be played by all the family...

SirSupportman · 30/06/2009 19:36

Be sure to use the 60ml variety, the syringe of choice for a enhanced soaking

siblingrivalry · 30/06/2009 19:37

when you join your dd in sniffing an assortment of books!

"Can you please stop licking the puddle" becomes ones of your every day sayings

You give up on curtain poles and velcro the buggers to the window frame instead

When you move the chest of drawers to hoover behind it you discover a mountain of food wrappers and half eaten squishy things that you think hope are apples.

for me, tonight........

when you open the wardrobe, and yet more clothes have their right arms hanging off due to the 'bad fairies

When you open your handbag to reapply your lipstick and have a squirt of perfume (y'know, like most women do) to find only an assortment of hand splints.
DS is up to 4 now for different times/activities. We got rigid blue, rigid red, big softie and little softie.

The syringe thing made me chuckle. I was giving DD her codine in an oral syringe and I happened to glance away for a sec. She was NOT amused when it shot out of her [beautiful] nose.

I know I shouldnt of but I didnt arf larf.

lol re: syringes. Also, when all the numbers have worn off the syringes through years of use, but you can still accurately guess exactly where eg 5.5mls is.

In our house, ykwyhsncw...

You run a nice lukewarm bath for your offspring, in your stuffy bathroom, on the hottest day of the year. One of them shrieks and laughs and leaps into it. The other one just shrieks - because it's too cold.

your 14 months old dd takes less than 10 mins to feed herself with her fingers, and your 3 1/2 years old ds twiddle his spoon for 30 mins in front of a full plate.
DS is just so slowwww

Saker · 30/06/2009 22:57

Your 7y old Ds2 sets a personal best at Sports Day when he eats an ice lolly without dropping it.

drlove8 · 30/06/2009 23:04

you say night after night at the dinner table in a genuinely FED UP voice - "You KNOW there is no barking at the table"

PersonalClown · 01/07/2009 08:25

When nearly every morning you have to explain that even frogs have to get dressed for school!

anonandlikeit · 01/07/2009 09:31

You are the one at the school gates with your kids breakfast hanging out of your hair, you look like you've just got out of bed when in fact you've been up for hours....

Can you tell i've had a bad morning

bullet123 · 01/07/2009 09:55

You don't bat an eyelash that your almost 6 year old is besotted with the Teletubbies and Nightgarden.

BONKERZ · 01/07/2009 09:58

when your 9 year old insists he has to wear trousers, socks, jumper and fleece to school when the weather is hitting 30 degrees outside!

Snort @ "You KNOW there is no barking at the table"

You walk around a busy supermarket singing "jingly jangly scarecrow" full pelt with full actions, and only realise you're doing so when other kids (not your own) join in
