how lovely. I hope your child never reads this.

Wow. Talk about overthinking the future! I never really thought past the cute baby stage when I was planning my kids. I'm now shocked and appalled that they're all grown up despite me forbidding it, and demanding they stay small and cute forever.

I have all boys, and don't feel I've missed out by not having a daughter. It's all about stupid stereotypes anyway. What if her daughter was a complete tomboy who wanted to join her dad in his secret hobby (think golf or cycling) and didn't want to have the lovely dovey mother daughter relationship she craves.

Two of my boys are living with partners now, and both are planning on moving far away. For cheaper housing, rather than getting away from me. I think.

I'm just glad I've given them the tools to be independent, and to hopefully not be useless husbands like the MN lot seem to have.

We need a secret tattle sign. I was the one with a baby strapped to my front and three tall teenage boys. Such MN cliches 😆

I was with two of my sons, one teenage, one in his 20s. Both taller than me, but sadly not MN tall, due to my shortarsedness.

What's the weird goings on with the woman whose husband was taken to hospital having said he had learning disabilities, although he doesnt, and they have a private GP and the nhs GP ignores them and her baby is 9 months pld and appears to live in a sling? She's worried social services will be reporting her for a messy house
It's all really odd

Strapping teenage boys surely?

I love the Museum of Brands but suspect kids wouldn't find it that interesting. For the more gory amongst us the Hunterian is great. I am a sensitive soul, I had to retreat and find cake in the cafe <rubbish cake, v disappointing> whilst having a fit of the vapours.

Mad as a box of bleeping frogs. Or a super skillful troll. More entertaining than most.

I thought of Shithole but she just has the messy house not the head of a husband who called an ambulance for D&V.

It kills me the amount of OP’s that post for advice and it goes like this

OP: I really need advice about ABCD

Posters: OK what about this this and this

OP: Erm no, won’t be doing that or that, or that.

AGH!

Ooh let me predict some replies🙂

1. What is “sleep”?

2. You’re so insensitive, my nephew’s ex best friend’s dog walker’s aunt’s hairdresser’s daughter went to school with someone who is DEAD and now can’t ever wake up.

3. Wine is full of sugar and alcohol, you are a diabetic alcoholic ratbag who is solely responsible for all the problems with DNHS.

4. I am so teeny tiny that a sip of coffee is enough to fill me up for weeks on end.

5. Kindly, OP, you sound lazy. No is a complete sentence and are you on glue? <tinkly laugh >

6. I asked my DH and he agrees with you.

7. I don’t wake up in the morning as I work night shifts. I cannot relate to this at all.

8. I hope you don’t mind me saying but you sound abnormally exhausted with disturbed sleep patterns, it’s either peri or dementia but possibly both.

9. Omg waking up before your alarm is a sign of sepsis. A&E! Now!

10. Are you on Mounjaro? This started happening to me when I was on the weight loss jabs. Then, my hair started to fall out and one ear turned completely purple with white stripes. Then, my eyeballs rolled out of my eye sockets and the dog grabbed them! Can’t see a thing now, my hubby is typing for me. Also, my hands turned into broccoli so i couldn’t type even if I could see. Rover the dog is somewhere in the garden with my evil witch MIL playing fetch with my eyeballs. Weight loss injections are really dangerous. Just eat less and move more. Calories in vs calories out.

We've not done the Museum of Brands, but have been to Hunterian many times, along with the Wellcome Collection. The Museum of the Home is weirdly good too, but the best museum cafe is definitely the V&A - they have an in house patisserie. Also a sign reminding visitors they are to remain fully clothed in the garden which always makes me laugh. :D

I can geek out London museums forever - there are so many, and when my boys were young they were curious little kids who asked lots of questions about everything so made them far more interesting for me to talk to. (They also liked normal aged rit like Roblox and Minecraft and bloody Pokemon which I did not enjoy talking to them about!)
