Charlotte Louise Taylor #41 Crying because your kids rat has a cold. Duck me

[skylark13]

There were other thread titles in contention but all way over the word limit. So….credit for the above title gem goes to @Peachbomb.

Can someone else do a recap? I’m still reeling* with Midsize boredom from the last boobfest try-hard-wannabe-Nigella picky tea-Frank-and-Charl-eat-separately shitshow so I need to lie down.

*See what I did there?!

@admin I’ve realised I put the wrong number in the thread title. It should be 41 not 21. Can you fix?! Thank you

FAO Charlotte - My working mum day -

620am child one wakes. One parent takes him downstairs and other one showers
645am child two wakes. Parents swap so other one showers
7am makes breakfast for children and adults
730am gets children ready and dressed , checks school bags
745am husband leaves for work and to take kids to nursery/school breakfast club
8am log on for work. Whilst I work I try and get washing on and hung up in between zoom meetings etc (benefit of wfh!)

1230pm have a quick lunch and go for 45mins walk or do a quick you tube workout
130pm back to work
5pm go to collect children from nursery and After school club
515pm I start cooking family dinner
530pm husband arrives home from work and we eat once dinner is ready as a family
630pm bath time for children.

Then we have some time child free- we watch tv, get the dishwasher loaded, tidy/clean what’s required and get anything ready for tomorrow needed for the kids

The rat probably has another sniffle! She’s keeping a cage-side vigil.

Start of school holiday so she’ll be ill

My routine is now much more chilled as the children are older. But for context…
5.45am up, eat breakfast, laundry on do the girls hair, if time and organised - dinner goes in slow cooker.
7.20 leave house.
On feet all day, have 45 mins lunch which I work through as otherwise it means more for later.
Leaving time depends on various things, typically it’s 5pm where I come home, unload dishwasher, cook dinner (90% from scratch), help with any homework, house chores, make lunches and then work again until around 9pm where I try and start switching off.

I’ve never seen a kid with teeth like this before is that fillings or silver teeth!?

Makes me sad every time I see those silver caps.

 

[Hello its me]

Hopefully she'll get daisy some sort of braces when she's older that front tooth looks like it would be painful to bite with

 

[clmay]

I’m sure that given the sticklers/cleft palate she’ll be under specialist dental care. The silver caps could be due to decay but could also be to temporarily correct her bite until her adult teeth are all through. Then she’ll definitely have braces when she has all her adult teeth through

Looking a real stunner this morning. Waffling on about how she has a 'poorly' Mark at home, and that she's got a spring in her step because she got ID'd for paracetamol!! Lol!

Absolute double of Stan in that second pic

Ugh, poor Mark, I bet she was round him like a fly around sh*t all weekend. Wiping his nose for him, stroking is head, acting like he was on his deathbed. Saying that, he probably lapped it up, lying in bed all day with his hoodie up, getting peace from the kids and any responsibility.

I’m surprised she hasn’t referred to herself as a testicle, that’s her “testicle” look. She usually likes to get that reference in there. Shes also not wrong.

The second pic she could be Stan. You know Stan? Mark’s identical twin

Another trip down memory lane

Another trip down memory lane

Oh. Interesting. I actually will judge you Charl. You CLEARLY have done cry it out with a child who had breathing complications so should never have been left alone when in distress.

What’s her view on abortion? She is incredibly lucky that her condition can be avoided by ivf. You choose the embryos who don’t have your condition. It’s an amazing feat of science and as someone bringing a child into the world I’d do anything to mean they don’t suffer when they don’t have to.
But she’s just incredibly selfish and only cared about the fairytale conception, and two of het children now suffer because of that.

 

[GlasgowGirl72]

She just has to mention again that William/Will/Bill has a Girlfriend!!!!

 

[Lifestyle86]

Is that the same girlfriend Charlotte made a Christmas basket for? Regardless- she needs to keep Bill’s life private.

 

[Blondie]

Walking through Charlotte's lens is what I imagine riding a dinosaur would be like, with her big heavy stomping.

Why she thought that was a nice thing to post I have no idea

 

[goosica]

Why oh why did my phone freeze here
