Dear Swimming Mum, You self-entitled git. Usually, I care not about other parents at the pool. You brought your little spawnling to the pool. You are essentially teaching them to swim AND spending time with them** so I don’t usually complain about that front. But when you interfere with others […]
We all have that one story… Okay, I have at least a dozen. The “I had a great idea from the interwebs and totally nailed it!” story. What is that?!? Oh, that was just my attempt at a Charmander cake for Nefarious – and of course I ran out […]
Sweet spawnling awake until 10pm? Or hellish afternoon that ends at 7pm? Which would you choose?
Look, if you are going to have a creepy Elf on the Shelf in your house, at least do it right. And then you can have an EG Parent Award.
The greatest parenting advice ever given to me was from EG Opa: Make sure your kids believe you are capable of anything. An-ny-thing. Coming from a man with a State Champ Black Belt in Karate, I definitely believed he could do anything. Protector and chief strategist; I know he would […]
We’ve all had one. The housemate who leaves passive-aggressive notes around the place. “I washed up for you AGAIN!” “Please lock the garage door on your way out” “Did you swap the milk labels? My carton tasted funny” ( – yes. Yes I did) But if you’re going to have […]
We already know how evil grandma can be. This is just the beginning. EG Inc has travelled 2500km into the pits of Hades (read: Nth Qld in Summer) to visit family/demons. It’s bad enough that the heat is more repressive than a cooked laboratory, but now EG Grandma is taking […]
She’s 6wks old and has already thrown down her gauntlet. Zaltu is definitely living up to her name and causing mischief. EG Dad has only ever once come home from work and asked what I did during the day. He lived to tell the tale, and warn others against such […]
I’ve been holding on to this one for a few days – shared diligently by aspiring EG Parent Dallas F. See, the thing about parenting is everyone has an opinion. From the moment you mention you have spawned, everyone believes they have the best advice to give you. Of course, […]
Sometimes life is just too well-timed for my liking. Sitting back last week, and I find myself chortling along with EG Dad as he reads Big Family, Little Income. Apparently, there’s a bit of talk about the stereotyping of dads – particularly the portrayal of dads as dumb-arses. Don’t get […]
