Good for you. I call that survival patenting! It’s just a pity my pantry isn’t big enough to hide in.

LOL, yep, calories don’t count unless its from your bowl! I don’t know how many times have I felt like hiding away from the kids, and I only have two, your a great mum!

I’m glad you have a hiding place. Keep it stacked with chocolate custard for the school holidays!

We’ve all had days when we’ve wanted to hide away.

Congratulations on being able to put a positive spin on things!!!

Your lucky you can hide away. My home is so small there is no where to hide.

  haha, yes! I wish I could hide from the fighting some days

Calories totally don’t count!

yep find ways to cope like an earlier bed time if they are misbehaving etc. Get them to play outside and burn off some energy lol

Oh how I wish my cupboard is big enough for me to hide. lol

The things we have to do to get a little me-time or keep our sanity!

  Lots of hugs here too! x 🙂

lol i get it! sometimes i would like to hide in the cupboard but it is too small lol

Sounds like a full on household you have there! And yes, calories don’t count if you are cleaning up after the baby!

Sending you lots of good thoughts and well wishes. x 🙂

Well I don’t think you should feel like you aren’t a good parent because you seek a bit of solace, from what can sometimes be an overwhelming situation. At the end of the day everyone is safe, and you just need a moments peace.

Technically the calories subtract if it is from her bowl.
I love that you are teaching the 5 year olds the skills of negotiation.
You are enforcing boundaries and demonstrating flexibility with the 7 year old.
And good on you for giving the 10 year old his space… teaching independence.
Congratulations YOU should be nominated for Mother of the Year; and all while bonding with the baby!!!!

Everyone has days when they want to hide.
