AMEN!!! (But also for swimming costumes!) As a regular swimmer, I have never a-men'd anything harder.

Oh my yes. Every night.

Me to my neighbor: "My 3 year old is very clean. She doesn't like getting all messy and likes to wash her hands." My 3 year old: *Places a dried dog poo on the table beside neighbor*

I did this on the balcony just last night dressed in my Grinch dressing down with a cup of tea

God, I can relate.

Never understood this. I want a partner to do things with TOGETHER. cooking cleaning laundry all of it.

That's what grandmothers are for. When I was a little girl, we were broke. My brother and I each got a box of cereal a week for our breakfasts. We were allowed to choose the cereal each week, except Apple Jacks. It was more expensive than the others. It was one of my favorites. I was seven or eight, and spent the night at Grandma's, three miles out of town. In the morning, Grandma asked me what I wanted for breakfast. I said Apple Jacks, because they were too expensive. This woman who lived through the Great Depression drove me to the store in town and bought me a box of Apple Jacks.

Oh yes, honey. I actually had a panic attack after being made a parent representative for the nursery my son goes to. I am still patting myself on the back for standing up for myself the next day and saying NO, I can't do that. I can't take on any more. I can't be the person to mitigate, negotiate, mediate in my third language on top of everything else. I am in long-term therapy because I can't manage my own life and only agreed to it because I couldn't bear to wait in the room until someone volunteered (which they never do). I don't do well with conflict and expectations. I'm proud of myself for saying no!

Snort-laugh! That belongs with child sitting quietly at a coffee morning staring at one of the ladies, then "Mrs Robinson just drinks like an ordinary person, she doesn't drink like a fish at all"

"I heard that look."

Just taught my 2yo grandson to do this. Kept him entertained for at least 20 minutes. The giggles are awesome!

Daughter was singing "I'm looking over a four-leaf clover." So, I taught ger the Dr. Demento version, "I'm looking over my dead dog Rover." Of course, she decided to sing that version at the school recital. Not a solo thankfully.

Yep, I believe that in an instant.

Hahahah my boss told me, her kid came running towards her with her face and hands full of chocolate and when the little girl got to her she thought she was being offered chocolate, little girl puts hands on my boss's mouth.....it was poop. She was gagging the whole time she told me the story, it was great! Hahaha

That just became my new profile

I used to have a husband who could not stand to see me sitting in a chair and relaxing (reading, watching TV, knitting). "Why don't you get up and do something useful?" Was only one of the ways that led eventually to me leaving him.

It's actually the curse of being wealthy enough that you have to choose everyday, instead of struggling to get enough of whatever food you can afford to stop your belly from aching.

Yup, true dat.

He/She took 4 days???

There is always thrift store modern.

I've given up.

Now those are real friends w benefits!

Hmm yeah, my 2-year-old also just used WTF in the correct context ... Lucky for me I have 2 preteens who throw that around like fresh air, so I'm not the only one to blame... Yikes.

Every damn day

Says someone who has never come into contact with upper class profanity. Also upvote for Maggie Smith

Maggie Smith is about highest on my lists of super-women of every trait. I absolutely adore her.

😂 I need to use this in the near future now!

Maggie Smith would actually say something like that, which makes this even funnier

bítch and fúck ain't profanities, are they? BP, I think you're lying.

Lol, saving and sharing this one

The f**k seems to be, that it is all f****d

I understand there are situations profanity is not appropriate, but for the most part, bad words hurt no one and people need to quit being babies. What's going to happen? Are your ears going to bleed from hearing bad words?

Have to remember this one

......................

This was me. Bought a whole new wardrobe. Still don't go out

imagine calling your own kids that you yourself birthed "freeloaders"

Mmm, McVodka

I got preeclampsia with my third child and almost died. He told me yesterday he wishes my joints would stop making popping noises because it bothers him. Feel the love.

I love going away with my family. We don't get to do it often because we can't afford it - but time away enjoying a change of scenery really is precious.

hello nargylothatep how are you this evening, are you staying for dinner?

Oh, way, way before that!!! I hate clothes shopping so much that I am definitely wearing some things from before the millennium.

I don't know what all the negative comments are about, this one is perfect. Women, for the most part, don't want you to fix their problems, they just want to tell you about them, and appreciate it when you actually listen.

I told my daughter that sometimes people are homeless because they don't have any money and she said: "Why can't they just go and get some out of the machine?" Bless her. I explained that any money that is in the machine is there because I have a job that pays me the money I can withdraw later.

Daily.

Yeah, one who's going back to school and one who isn't going *back* because IT'S THEIR FIRST DAY.

Sounds strangely familiar!

Sometimes you just feel a little puny, regardless of the temperature

Better than a jab in the rear with a spear and sent to work..

Mine too!

My husband busts out ice ice baby

Updoot for Betty! Carol Channing in the back seat

I can so relate. My kids drive me insane!! But it's all love...

Already have! Shout out to Sian, Carolyn, Virginia and Jane 😍

Pockets.
