Stories about whether I am managing the family or they are managing me.
Well. Good to know where I stand, Zaltu. The minute Sinister and Nefarious are dropped at school, Zaltu knows it is her time. Parks are visited, pigeons are tormented, EG Senior Citizens are wooed. When we arrived at the playground, Zaltu made friends with another toddler. A toddler who had […]
I was schooled by Sinister today. And deservedly so. It was on the daily walk to school. The usual reminders were being discussed. * Don’t steal other lunches – hungry minions are unreliable; * Never admit to anything until you know they definitely have evidence against you (that’s how I […]
There is a reason why isolation is used as a form of punishment. It really messes with your head. Ask any parent awake at 2am. When you hear that first cry awaken you – a gentle plea for comfort; a territorial demand for a nipple; the frightened scream not yet […]
Ugh. I feel so crappy lately. It’s hard taking over the world when you are struggling to conquer your own parental guilt. I’ve been so focused on getting the spawnlings through the school term (with chest infections and teething nights and stuff) – I forgot to keep the fun in […]
Order! All rise! Parenting Court is now in session!! Presiding Judge is Her Honour, Judge Judgey McJudge (of the renowned Bee-yatch clan). You may now be seated. I am typing this from the front seat of my Harley Quinn truck family car. 5 mins before arriving at the shopping centre, […]

Yeeeeaaaah – comfy pants. Some parents cope with school holidays by sending the spawnlings on camp, or to grandparents. Other parents team up and share the ‘babysitting’ around – amateur hour. At some time, it’s your turn to have a dozen or so 10-year-olds all at once. The trick is […]
Have you seen The LEGO Movie? More importantly, have you figured out a way to get that damn song out of your head? Evil LEGO. Evil evil LEGO. Now let’s go shopping! But who would believe the evil intentions of the innocent LEGO brick? Well, for one – any poor […]
Hey World Leaders! Want to know how to defeat an Evil Genius? Give them a baby. *sigh* No. Not defeated. But damn it’s hard to write a blog post about world domination when you’re seriously considering how to steal a hyperdrive to get off the planet. I don’t know how […]
Never give up. Never surrender!! Not even if your counterpart has taken off overseas for two weeks. That should merely toughen your resolve against the onslaught of spawnlings. Not even if your physical presence weakens with fatigue and wear-and-tear. Oh no – use this as an opportunity to ‘encourage’ your […]
