Why did Ofsted decide we could have 3 under 5's?
Well, I think I now understand;
1 to do the ironing
1 to do the cleaning
and 1 to do the cooking
a variation means you have a gardener... :laughing: :laughing:
HAPPY WEEKEND EVERYONE! :jump for joy: :jump for joy: :jump for joy:

I have heard this said about own children as well - they more you have the less you do.
I never managed to get that across to my DD's - I have 4 DD's and in my experience the more you have the more you do!
Same for mindees - I have a variation and I am shattered.
However I am all for professional development (or in this case - complete re training and re wiring of my brain) - can anyone point me in the right direction please :D

I was thinking this was going to read about 1 being left out - I often find that. But like this much more lol!

I agree with Penny - I have 4 DS' and with them, their GF's and DH I just seem to have more to do :angry:
So on a Thursday when I have 3 under 5 and 3 over 5 I could have chef, cleaner, ironer, gardener, handyman and a butler :clapping:

:) :) I should be the most chilled out person ever seeing as how i've got 7 children of my own and 3 under 5 mindees...i wonder if one could drive my bus and take the rest to finish my xmas shopping off for me,then one could write my cards out and one wrap a million xmas presents..as long as i leave one in the house to wait for parcels being delivered i could manage a day at the spa ...can you still send them up chimneys ?
