DS1 doesn't go back until Tuesday.

Tuesday

for Sparkling and anyone else who has them home until Tuesday.

I know Wynken feels like this holiday has gone on forever. And still another day to go. NOT FAIR!!

Yep close the door on it.I did run out of cereal bowls the other day though and had to yell at DS to bring all the pots down from his room.

yeah twice i must like living the edge lol
and im so like stupid and lame because i cant work my video on my i phone and im like so stupid and theres like no point me havung the phone but me being so stupid forgot to press red button on said phone to record her .. whoops lol

Now Sparkling, the door slam is only effective if accompanied with a dramatic flounce and head toss

You rank amateur

God *GROOVEY, you are such a technophobe.

Ooh thanks Wynken.

lol its nice to know im not alone
gotta disturb the beast and see what she wants for tea
scared now

Just text her GROOVEY.

I don't do "seeing what they want for tea" anymore either. I'm the worst mother in the world.

I do - I have decided we are having whatever and it is on the table. Eat it or starve. Or have beans or frozen pizza.

The endless FACES when I said shall we have blah or this or that.

And the ever changing list of stuff she doesn't eat this week.

Bugger that for a game of monkeys.

i was just about to text her then looked and saw her phone downstairs

Good. Confiscate it til she clears her room.

Dd has to find her pe kit which she managed to leave in school before the hols.

I do for see some sort of explosion.

good idea

You so have to keep the phone

freddie, I'm with you on the food front - I never pandered to them as toddlers, and I'm not going to now - like it or lump it, I say.

My 2 don't go back tilll Tuesday either, but I go back tomorrow - hurrah!

they should issue us all with fall out shelters for our own safety lol

I can't believe she left the phone downstairs. What kind of a teenager is she?

BigTilly I did try the "what do you fancy lets work as a team" bollocks for about a week but there was far too many arguments.

So now I dictate what and when we have tea.

yeah its normally attached to her but its charging and she probably cant bear to come down and get it cos she may god forbid have to talk to me

I'm obviously a really mean Mum. DS1 aged 11 has had to do his own room for years & if it isn't vacuumed every fortnight he gets something taken away-if it isn't sorted today he won't get cake this week & am currently baking his favourite . Tried the ignoring it but unfortunately his younger brothers go in & it is dangerous for a toddler...

As for food choice, have never given them the option. Regularly tell him I'm proud of being a mean Mum, means he knows there's no point him telling me!

Mine keep their chargers in their rooms. And they have passwords Have you seen This is 40?!

Me too Freddie - I predict some moaning at tonights choice!

random, that worked for me when they were 11..... Sadly, no longer!
