I Will Survive
One thing that bugs me is how parenting is regarded as a chore, or something to be overcome.
Page 21 of today’s Telegraph:
A Mother’s Guide To Surviving Christmas
How to cope with cooking, shopping and those nativity plays.
What?
If you need help surviving nativity plays, you should not have kids or celebrate Christmas. If you need parenting advice from the Telegraph, you should be neutered.
Sorry. These are just my views.
If you don’t like them, I have others.

I agree. Which is probably why I don’t have kids. Or buy The Telegraph.

Totally agree re the parenting thing!
Neutering could solve soooo many problems!

Help with surviving the cooking and shopping is always welcome. But the nativity plays? They’re the best bits! I still well up when I remember my oldest as a four year old playing Joseph in his nativity play with the little tea-towel on his head. I don’t want to wish little Jake’s life away, but I can’t wait until he reaches that stage.
Oh wait, what if he doesn’t get a part??
