I was reminded the other day about one of my daughters friends that was “helping mummy” to unpack the shopping, mother came back into the kitchen to find her daughter had opened each individual tea bag……

One of my daughters managed to open the washing machine while it was still full, the result, cork tiles (only laid two days before) floating around the kitchen floor.
To this day I don’t know how she did it, the darn thing used to make us wait ages after finishing before it would let us get anything out!

Have your kids helped mummy too? :S

Best wishes,

I remember one of mine helping daddy.

I asked him to close the front door behind me because I was carrying something at the time.

He slammed it shut so forcefully that the glass in the lower half of the door ended up on the pathway in a thousand little pieces !

I was trying to remember if my only son was 'helpful' and the answer is No! I plonked a full bin bag outside his bedroom door once..hint hint...and he merely smiled and walked round it. I think he thought it was his absent father :D I often wonder how I would have fared with a girl child :-) BCXX

Don't think she thought she was helping mummy but my niece took the heads off all the carnation buttonholes about 1hr before a wedding. Worse still they had come from the garden of the future father in law. The couple did get married.

That reminds me of when our elder daughter, only a few years old at the time, "helped" at my sister-in-laws's wedding at the golf club - by collecting the flags out of the holes!!!
