I'm surprised to see I was average

So I'm a bit more lax than some of you.... 😂

Reassured that I am doing alright! haha

I am mostly the same as the majority, My downfall was putting on the tv in the holidays ! Nobody's perfect!

I'm more or less average except for the school holiday one. I didn't have an itinerary when I was growing up. The TV was on but then I made my own entertainment, jigsaws, crafts etc. so I don't think boredom is a bad thing really, it just makes you more inventive!

I was surprised with the clothing conundrum - surprised that many children rule the roost. If im going to a special event, my child will wear what i want them to, no question!

I'm quite surprised that I differed on a few questions. Then again, my child is still a baby - I've obviously got a lot to learn.

Yep....I’m an average parent....thanks goodness!!

Great quiz, I seem to parent like a lot of other parents which makes me feel happier I am doing the best I can.

I found I agreed with most other people! Might have something to do with the fact I've got three children. I'm definitely more confident with my third than I was with my first especially as there's quite an age gap.

I seem to be with the majority which I dont mind

I was a bit all over the place from most to least popular with my answers. I suspect it may be down to the battles I have picked and those I have not!

I was surprised at the amount of households that do puddings! We're a pudding free household!

I like to think I be reasonable in most of the situations but until your in them you really don't know.

Surprised at just how average I am, there are some things I wont compromise on but others no qualms at all. I believe in the mantra "tomorrow is another day" and just deal with whatever comes my way

Reassuring in a way and seems I must be quite normal?!! Always thought I was slightly OTT sometimes !

The bedtime one made me smile. It's the only time that the little darlings will converse on the phone with grandparents/aunts/uncles saying more than just "Hello!"

Hmm, it turns out I might be a bit of a pushover on some issues, anything for a bit of peace as a single mum though!!

I am a bit of a pushover but I think you need to pick your battles :)

This made me LOL as I literally just purchased a violin for my 6 yr old and so far we have endured 2 days of screeching! I went for the earplug option or I just leave her with DH and take the dog for a walk!!

Reassuringly normal!

rather reassuring i should have just let them dress as a pirate though

Looks like i'm with the majority most of the way which is comforting to know are all in the same boat.

I am not great at the routine stuff, but I do get the results when they are required, even if it takes me several hours!!!

done - I don't like green peas either :)
