Hey Mummy, it’s okay…
… If you buy your child’s costumes, instead of making them yourself. How can anyone keep up with Pirate/Stone age/Roald Dahl/ World Book/Wedding/Mermaid Day anyway?
… If you secretly eat second-hand fish fingers in the kitchen. Everybody hates waste.
… If by Friday your hair is 85% dry shampoo: I’d be inclined to judge you more if it wasn’t.
… If you take your children to a coffee shop with a kids’ area for the sole purpose of enjoying your cuppa while it’s still hot.
… If you’re so desperate for a night out that you spend several hours getting ready, only to leave after an hour because you can’t relax and keep looking at your phone, expecting a call to say the baby is screaming down the house.
… If you look forward to children’s birthday parties (perhaps even more than your child) because they’re just as much of a social event for you as they are for them.
… If you feed your child the same meal all the time because it’s their favourite and they throw everything else on the floor. Sometimes you just need an easy day!
… If you eat biscuits for breakfast because your baby was up all night, then again for lunch because he/she won’t nap and they’re too clingy to allow you to assemble a sandwich. Some days only a sugar rush can get you through.
… If your child wants to go out for lunch, but actually only wants a massive hot chocolate and a cake. We’ve all be conned.
Hey Mummy, it’s okay: we’ve all been there!
Love this. Feeling hard done by lately and needed a reminder everyone else has it as shit as me.
Yes, yes, yes! And omg, that hit chocolate looks amazing! That’s all I would have wanted too! (lie – I’d have had lunch and cake as well).

Love this! I regularly rotate spag bol/baked potatoes with beans and cheese because I know the Popple will eat them, even though I feel guilty for not giving her a wider variety of foods. I totally steal her uneaten food too. #chucklemums
Love this! Sugar is definitely the only thing getting me through most days!

Haha this is fab. That’s quite some spag bol! Did you make all those costumes? Amazing. Thanks for linking to #Chucklemums, hope to see you next week!
I don’t see the point in forcing them to throw perfectly good food on the floor – or in our case have one mouthful then heave and cry and say it’s poison – why not let them eat dinners they like as long as they are reasonably healthy ones? That’s what vitamins are for, right? Right?! Thanks for linking up with #chucklemums lovely xx
Biscuits are a vitamin in this house. But hold on. Wait a minute. You have a coffee shop with a kids’ area? I want to move to where you live. In fact I just want to live in that coffee shop please! 😉 x #chucklemums
