We live about 500 metres from the primary school and we can usually tell that it's almost 3pm because all the cars start parking up and down the street waiting for the kids to come out of school. There is one particular mum who turns up at 2pm so she can get a parking spot right in front of the school. When I first saw her doing this, I thought ... Read More

After much discussion and headaches and stress (ok, the headaches and stress were probably only suffered by me!) we have come to the decision that DS16 will finish his HSC through correspondence and study at home. My concern is that he will not have the motivation to put 100% effort and concentration into his work so I came up with a brilliant idea! I'm going to study my HSC ... Read More

I know of some parents who have basically kicked their kids out when they reach 15-16 because they just can't put up with the obnoxious, rude attitudes of their teenagers. But I could never understand how they could allow their kids to leave home at that age and when my two oldest babes were young, I used to always say that there would be NO WAY that I would kick ... Read More

It seems that the computers in the house are on 24/7. If the older kidlets aren't on the internet, they are using the computer to do their homework or any school assignments that they need to complete. It was just a matter of time that the younger ones would want to go on the computer as well but I worry about them going on the internet. I'd much rather them ... Read More

3 days to go. It's. Only. 3. Days. The school holidays have been going great until the last couple of days when the two older kids have started to become feral. DD15 knows how to push DS16's buttons and DD16 falls for it every single time and bites back. But lately I've found that they are getting really nasty toward each other, their younger sisters and back-chatting to me ... Read More

Most school holidays consist of the older babes amusing themselves, play dates for the younger babes and occasional days out like to the movies or a picnic. But these holidays, we haven't really done much because DH has been working odd hours and the weather hasn't been too co-operative. So, I'm making a promise to myself (but not telling the kids yet) that we will TRY to go away, ... Read More

When I was pregnant with our first child (DS16), I bought (and was given) almost everything a baby could need or want. I think at one stage, we had two strollers and ended up having to give one away to a friend! When child #5 was due, I was more sensible in the baby stuff that I needed for her. It also had to do with the fact that we ... Read More
