    Default Give me toddlers anyday!

    My 9 year old son had 2 friends to stay last night, I am the only one that hasn't been in tears, so far!! Had to drag them to soft play to keep them from killing each other lol.

    Much rather have 3 toddlers!!

    Today I have a 2yr old, a 3yr old, my own 10yr old, my own 6yr old. They are all happily playing except my DD (6) who is moping around with a face like a smacked bum complaining she's bored. If this is what the next 6 weeks are going to be like I'll be sending her to some kind of summer camp, I just can't be doing with it

    That made me chuckle. "I'm bored" is all my 5 year old DD says these days! She has also been constantly telling tales about the little ones too.

    I respond to "I'm board" with. "Well you stand there and be board for a while sure you'll soon think of something to do" never known it not to work. They are just unwinding from a constant round of activity and need time to adjust x
