Second attempt at this post! The first went AWOLWe have the Chocolate Teapot award...should we have the Mean Mummy award? It may not catch on though, as we would have to nominate ourselves.Shortbread was the only contender last month but we all decided she was in fact a genius so she didn''t qualify Anyway I was thinking of this at 5am this morning In my dream, someone was calling me....turns out it was Dash. He was sitting on the loo needing a bit of assistance. I thought of Shadow''s thread He needed quite a bit of cleaning up and so did the loo. ''Poor you'' I said (thinking ''poor me''!)Thankfully he willingly washed his hands for a change.Tucked him back in bed....''I''m hungry. My tummy''s empty''....''Its not time to eat'', says I, ''have a drink of water'' (how mean was that?)Find there is no cup in bathroom, trudge downstairs, trudge back upstairs with half full cup ''Thats too full, Daddy says I shouldn''t drink too much in case I have an accident'' Literally wets his lips and that''s all ''I''m tired, I mean hungry''....''sleep well'' says I.Crawled back to bed, greeted by DH with a ''purposeful cuddle''....''GOOD NIGHT'' I say...so do I get Mean Mummy and Mean Wife award for November or are there other contenders out there more mean than me?

You sound perfectly reasonable to me, Larsti!Who wants to clean up poo at that time in the morning? Or encourage midnight feasts? Or indulge in jiggery-pokery?I'm totally with you!think you sound very saintly actually for not shouting at anyone. I am constantly biting everyones heads off at the moment!

Morning meanyHide the sausage also off the menu here this is due to knackered status!The thing is, I've been horrible this morning too.When sorting the laundry (such a rock and roll lifestyle!) I find that all the stuff washed early this week appears to have been washed again.Also only one solitary pair of teen lad socks and under crackers in the week....?Horrid mean mother that I am wondered if the others may be found in the pigsty once noted as partridges bedroom.And when he puts his clean clothes away can he rotate the clothes a bit so the ones he doesn't wear (but likes) get worn.Furiously partridge glared and shouted and aggressively gobbled his shreddies.Then it dawned on me The clothes I've just washed (again) most haven't been worn at all!Hence the snarling teen.... Been RUMBLED Teen wants to go out todayNice shirt for going out in is in stinky crumpled heap under his stuff in his roomHorrid mean mum has pointed him in direction of washing machine and horror of horrors ironing board

Last night Lolly (4) sneaked a soya desert before her tea (had eaten it before daddy noticed) even though she had been told tea was nearly ready. She refused to eat any of her pasta and had about 3 little pieces of salad.Mean mummy said she would not be allowed jelly (which Lolly had made with daddy earlier) if did not eat more of her tea. Mummy even separated out the vegetables, which Lolly likes, from the pasta and gave her a choice - "eat the veges or the pasta, and you can have jelly"Lolly took 10 minutes to eat one mouth full of veges, and mean mummy gave up trying when the child was hanging upside down from her chair. Big sister got her jelly at this point, with a lovely big dollop of squirty cream for eating up all her tea.Mean Mummy did not relent following the subsequent half hour of raging and crying, nor the sweet "mummy I luff you. Jelly?" a bit later. Lolly went to bed JellylessWhat is the prize??

I told DS1 that Pokemon was going to be made illegal.. I am sooooo mean.In my defence, he was really annoying me. And ALSO, he is a birth child so you are allowed to be meaner to them Plus, I soon regretted it, as he didn't see the funny side and boy did I pay!

lol oatybix! Thats a good one! They do say though that you reap what you sow!I was super mean to my step daughter,when she was a mucky,messy teen. Told her that if she kept leaving carp all ocer the house I would bag it up and dumpit on her bed. She kept on ... I saved all the crisp packets, fag ends, half eaten biscuits, used tissues, nail clippings, wrappers and (well you get the idea) ... this continued for six weeks, she finally blitzed her room and as soon as she finished I liberally scattered the very full bag of debrise over her room! Very mean I know, but also very effective. She was much better at cleaning up after herself after that!

I felt very mean this morning having been awake since 1am with a blinding migaine and sick stomach. Managed to get about 2.5 hours sleep before having to wake DD's to get ready as exDH was coming to take them out today.EDD got herself dressed and fed but YDD was still in PJ's without breakfast when ex rang to say he'd be there in 10 minutes. Lost it with YDD and shouted at her to get ready and that I didn't care whether she had only eaten Halloween sweets for breakfast, but that she better not complain of being hungry when she was out with her father.Stayed in bed feeling very sorry for myself when YDD brought me a mug of coffee before she left saying "I hope you feel better Mummy and can we be friends?" Queue massive guilt trip and teary eyes.Yes I am a mean Mummy.

For the second time this week I enacted the 'mean mummy' response of 'if you choose not to come and eat the breakfast that is ready and waiting for you then you will have to wait until later' response to the 'push me-pull you's of youngest this morning.Apparently I am 'wicked & evil' because she is 'huungggrrrryyyy!' and 'can't wait till later' having failed to come for breakfast in the hour plus it sat at the table waiting for her.Oh and 'hide the sausage' (nearly snarfed my coffee when I read that PT!) is off the menu here too due to migraine & exhaustion.

Removing snooz from friends house due to inappropriate behaviour did not go down too well, extreme shouting and name calling (him, not me!) and disbelief. Apparently he thought I was joking on the three strikes and you're out warnings!Definite lack of sausage for hiding in this neck of the woods!Sigh

I think we are all brilliant mummies really.And being a brilliant mummy (!) I have asked mods to delete the thread as BD came up behind me and clocked the subject but I wouldn't let her look at it (unlike the f thread which she is allowed to look at with me!) Anyway it could get awkward if she succumbs to curiousity.BTW I showed DH my post and he laughed
