I spent years thinking I was inadequate compared to the other mums at the school gate, now I know they all secretly thought the same..<br /><br />My boys are 16 and 18 and I still lie to them.. "We'll see" is now translated by them as "not a cat in hells chance"..<br />My worst lie was when we went on holiday and I made them go to an awful kids club by telling them that as they were out of school it was illegal not to go... I spent a great week on a sunbed not feeling guilty in the slightest.Donnanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4665674616465398480.post-10688716621039814892012-07-02T05:48:42.845-07:002012-07-02T05:48:42.845-07:00I tried some of the lies my mum brought me up on r...I tried some of the lies my mum brought me up on recently on my kids, to bad results.

This gives me the edge over bed time. 'Go to bed, it's really late, it's half past 8' (actually 7:15) Dreading her move into Yr 2 when those sodding teachers are going to put her straight. <br /><br />And a couple more.. 'Yeah I think we must have run out of batteries, we'll get some' <br /><br />And the most evil of evilness, when you give that toy that they NEVER play with to charity which they then MIRACULOUSLY decide they want to play with again, 'Oh yeah, I've not seen that for a while. It must be around here somewhere. I'm sure it'll turn up' ... & hope they don't go off searching for it.sarahffelannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4665674616465398480.post-57172195772833894392012-06-25T12:58:44.857-07:002012-06-25T12:58:44.857-07:00If you suck your thumb your bum will fall off!

(soulemama.com). Felt crap, useless and guilty. Like an utter failure, because I don't do the whole *live on a farm, pickle onions, write love letters to my children, have time to do scrapbooks to all five(!!) of'em, make my own laundry powder, knit wooly jumpers, write books about my perfect family* etc etc. Freaking perfect, in every way, basically. This parenting jungle sometimes freak me out, and I wonder, is everyone having this polished, perfect life at all times? Then I went on Twitter and found your blog via a link from Cherry Healey. You saved, not only my day, but my fucking life!!! Haven't stopped smiling ever since. You're sooo talented and funny :) Thanks for making me feel so much more normal. Kinda thought I was the only one struggling with this *stay at home mama thingy-thing* sometimes ;-) So thanks. You saved a fellow mama from insanity. <3 Love!Norahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10277761717672785553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4665674616465398480.post-39065595890835876112012-06-23T13:26:57.682-07:002012-06-23T13:26:57.682-07:00My best and most recent lie, if you don't get ...My best and most recent lie, if you don't get your hair cut you can't go to France!<br /><br />I am new here - but love it already.<br /><br />Thank youEllenCofenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4665674616465398480.post-66308238407847767942012-06-23T10:46:06.689-07:002012-06-23T10:46:06.689-07:00You forgot the ultimate 'I make all our meals ...You forgot the ultimate 'I make all our meals from scratch' lie, which goes quite well with the my children never eat sweets lie.<br /><br />As for the ice cream man OH was telling me the other day his friends Dad use to tell his children that when the van played music it meant the ice cream man had run out!LaharaArthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13585351159463540248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4665674616465398480.post-86643328931627161902012-06-21T12:44:31.913-07:002012-06-21T12:44:31.913-07:00Haha laughed throughout this; so true, so right, a...Haha laughed throughout this; so true, so right, and so damn easy ;)Gem - BeeReaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07786660302947512374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4665674616465398480.post-27973829050504983012012-06-21T07:48:13.854-07:002012-06-21T07:48:13.854-07:00Super witty post.

Given that half the time even I don't know whether that means no or not it allows for delightful suspense for everyone.
