Well done on making the weekend. I guarantee that in 3-4 hours, when you’re on your 30th ‘Daddy can I?’ if the day you’ll be wishing you were at work.

Anyway. Thinking of making this a weekly thing. What do we think about that? A chance to let off some steam and generally just vent about our kids, the role of Dad or the wider world at large.

What’s grinding your gears in your world right now?

I’ve finally got my daughter’s party tomorrow. Despite handing out the invites some six weeks ago we’re still getting people who are accepting the invite (do these people not check their childrens bags?). I think we’ve got everything in order, but I won’t lie…I can’t wait for it to be over and done with. I’m stressed, Mummy is stressed, the entire endeavour has cost £300 all in and suddenly the offer of financial help from my parents blew away like the flame atop a birthday candle.

How’s your week been/going/expected to go

    Mom is grumpy. The honey-do list keeps growing, but she’s always got some event or activity or trip planned last minute for our family every weekend. I’ve said all week I’m taking this weekend to start crossing things off the list, as she’s gotten pretty insistent that it needs to start shrinking and we’re hosting family for a party next weekend. But now that it’s the weekend, there’s some event she wants us all to go to, and I’ve ruined it by refusing to go this time. It’s the silent treatment for me.

    On the plus side, kiddo thinks drywall mud & patching is incredibly interesting, so we’re having a good time with that.
