Savage had a tantrum after tennis one day. On the floor shouting. The works.
Another mom looked at me with sympathy. I smiled.
Later we were cycling home and Savvy asked - why did you smile at that strange lady?
Because she's a mom and all us moms are in the same boat, I said.
Later still, back at home, Sav said:
Must be a really big boat.

That is logical and understanding.
I was on that boat on Sunday. It was bedroom tidy day!!!! She makes the mess & thinks I should tidy it up(how did you do it mum with 4 of us I will never know).
There was toys, shoes, books flying down the stairs. I had had enough, so down the toilet went her pink sweets.........ohhhh and did she scream??? The mistake I made was chucking them all down the toilet at once, what I should have done was a bit at a time, everytime she tossed something down the stairs or screamed, another handfull down the bog. They wouldnt have lasted much longer but I would have got better satistaction from it :-)
ps - the room is tidy :-)
Is there any room on this really big boat for dad's too?!?!
Although the threat of not leaving to go camping until they were done worked wonders last weekend, never seen their rooms so tidy!!
Jacob understood the concept almost immediately, Anna took about 48hrs before she realised what I had meant!!
