Walked five miles in the snow barefoot, uphill both ways. And was thankful for it. LOL, are there any parents who didn't do that?

Whilst I don't agree with treating children as though they were navy cadets (écoute Ã* moi, Papa!), I really can't understand the whole "princess" phenomenon that's grown up in recent years. Why give a 6-year-old a mobile phone? No matter which gender Liebling is, I'll make darn sure I'm not stuck making more beds until my babies fly the nest! Seriously, DH never makes a bed unless I tell him to, his mother even did that for him. It's not hard, and when I'm last up I can't complain, but when he's last up it's just dreadful to leave the covers in a mess all day.

Next time he says anything (probably next weekend) I'll have a serious word with him, and it probably is worth charging him the £15 an hour a cleaner would charge! Especially doing the grocery shopping whilst heavily pregnant - I've told him that the next 5kg bag of sugar we get I'm not lifting.
