Silence in the household
If you’ve been following me on twitter, you’d know that I lost my voice a couple of days ago.
I still have a really sore throat and my voice has been coming and going. My doctor has said to try and give my voice a rest.
Ummm, hello! You have been my doctor for 12 years. You KNOW that I have absolutely now way of giving my voice a rest because I have 5 kids! It’s like when the doctor says “try to sleep when the baby sleeps” when the doc knows you also have a toddler or three running around *rolling eyes*
So, instead of feeling sorry for their poor mama and bringing her a cup of soothing lemon tea or mint chocolate throat soothers, they have been working together (first time for everything!) to encourage me to “yell” at them so they can have a laugh!
DD15 thought it was hilarious to stand down the hallway with her hand up to her ear and say “Pardon mum, we can’t hear you”.
Now you would think that knowing what’s good for him being the responsible parent that DH is, he would have gently reminded the children that their mama is not feeling well and that they shouldn’t be little sh!ts making it more difficult.
But NO! I catch him on the phone laughing, telling his mate how peaceful it has been because I have lost my voice.
You’d think that I yell all the time if you took any notice of this lot. Believe me, I don’t yell ALL THE TIME. LOL

I know exactly how you feel. At least once a year I completely lose my voice and the kids always take advantage of that to make fun of me, little devils…

I’m sorry you have lost your voice! I can only imagine how much quieter MY house would be if that happened to me, and I only have 2 kids! I’ll help you plot your revenge if you like

Ugh, it’s that time of year again! I hope you get your voice back soon. I bet my hubby would be overjoyed if I lost my voice!!
