My mom has finally figured out how to be fun with my youngest sister (age 14)… she stops the nagging for a bit and they watch naughty tv together here and there! Like "That 70s Show" or something that she would normally disapprove of.
If you're not a fun mom you must be a good mom then. your kids are lucky. keep encouraging your kids to become plastic surgeons tho.

Ooh, I'm with Family Affairs – I saw you at Disney! (in fact, I've just written about it) – little do they know!

Ah, but it's true – how can we be fun when we're forever nagging about messy bedrooms and eating vegetables – 'tis a thankless task, my lovely. I'm sure they appreciate you really – as my teen says 'Mum, just don't talk to me when my friends are about. We can do all that talking stuff at home when we're alone'. Erm… okay then.

Hi Kate, are you working on book 3 now? Did love the the Seven Year Itch. I absolutely loathe Monopoly and most bored/board games and would do anything to get out of them – on the other hand, I could play cards for hours. Naturally child one loves the board games so yes, I understand your guilt pangs!

Not Waving, thank you, I'm really not at all sure that I'm fun but I think maybe stability, cake-making and a bit of drawing are better in some ways ….

Geekymummy, so you're the one who had the happy childhood! I'm very glad. And yes, Dotty P is still alive and well and doing some rather fab jewellry these days, though you do have to search out the acceptable from the chav chaff – hours of fun!

Linda, you are a doll! Thank God I am not a wonk off the Fast Show, you have put everything into perspective. I'd love to come round to your house (though I would probably have to tidy up, you know me and my compulsions. Just look on me as a free cleaning lady – talk about class!!) though I admit I am not anxious to see Neil in Nazi costume!

Rosiero, I know, I feel I know the curtains in Zara a lot better than the back of my hand ….plus these days I am not allowed even to go into the cubicle as the girls are having outbreaks of modesty. If I didn't have Twitter I would probably have not survived Saturday!

Angel Bluestocking, not at all, your comments were lovely, but I had to enable comment approval as I was getting a lot of Chinese spam so there is a bit of a time-lag these days. I feel my blog friends know me better than anyone so I really treasure their comments – please keep telling me your thoughts!
