By Mum's The Word
1. Never buy little boys school shoes with tiny grooves on the bottom because any potential toilet disaster will be extremely unpleasant to clean up!
2. Never send two fighting sisters to their shared bedroom in the hope that they will “sort out their difficulties” (the results aren’t pretty).
3. If you do an activity which pleases one of them, it will cause another one to moan and complain.
4. White bread is nasty, 50/50 is the best compromise.
5. When you have children your aspirations and dreams kind of take a back seat. I now aspire to cooking the perfect boiled egg complete with soldiers.
6. Library books have hiding places all of their own, the trick is to renew renew renew until you find!
7. Bribery corruption and deceit are rife (and that’s me not the kids!)
8. Some days you just can’t win, so you may as well give up trying because it’s a form of both wasted energy and self torture.
9. Rice Crispies and Noodles breed and will multiply to be found all around the house for days.
10. Just when you are at the end of your tether one of them will do something incredible and make you so proud that you cry.
