Parenting today:
3 yo: I don’t WANT the helicopter!
Me (sitting in front seat of car): ok, give it to me
3 yo: I don’t HAVE it
Me: then what’s the problem?
3 yo: I don’t WANT it!
Me: But you don’t have it!
3 yo: (Burst into tears). But I don’t WANT it.
People are so skeptical when you tell them about racism (are you sure? Maybe you took it the wrong way! Maybe they were joking) yet mention that perhaps you don’t particularly like the Sutherland shire and they’re like “excuse me I was born in Cronulla you know”
Is there a Latin phrase for gremlins? I find the Deus is very rarely in the Machina. More like demon ex machina.
I tolerated him in Finding Nemo but man Marlin is a real killjoy. Could he not find another way to deal with Dory thank just going hey hey stop stop? Hasn’t he learned his lesson that adventures happen and he should just go with it?
Wasn’t really prepared for the kick in the ovaries that happened while hanging out the washing this morning and thinking “this is probably the last round for these fireman summer pyjamas” by summer he’ll be too big for them and there are no more kids so… away they go.
Something that low key annoys me is getting my payslip SEVERAL DAYS before the money landing in my account. Like just be as efficient with the banking as you are with your mail merges.
Yesterday I bought “fresh prawns” that when I went to peel them were frozen, and today I noticed an “official uts page” on facebook says under it “not affiliated with its”. What is going on? Have words lost all meaning? Is this to do with the great Macquarie dictionary outage?
Not me hate-liking a nemesis’s post just to keep them in my algorithm so that I can keep tabs on them. (Don’t worry, it’s not you)
People love to say that all your kids need is your time and love but let me tell you my nearly 7 year old is incredibly materialistic and has a List. And does not come cheap.
Something I thought would happen when I had kids would be that we would create our own family rituals, to replace my childhood very churchy rituals. So far my only rituals are yelling to get out the door, struggles at bedtime, and the refrain of “I don’t like this dinner”
What’s everyone using for their work handbags these days? I need to go into the office more and am looking for good quality zippered tote - but do they really cost $600 now? Is that what we are paying for handbags?
Please remind me, when I complain about my children, that today I asked my nearly 3 year old if I was a very cranky bear (like in the picture book) and he said “no you’re not a cranky bear, you’re a lovely mummy!!” And giggled. 🥰
If I was two years old and tired and grumpy and insisted on mummy mummy mummy putting me to sleep, I would in fact go to sleep with mummy mummy mummy and not spend two hours fart arseing around and making mummy mummy mummy very very angry
Love to listen to a taxpayer funded radio station where a host is talking about a show they can’t remember the name of that stars an actor whose name escapes them 🙄
