   my son doesnt read, and has never liked drawing or painting, so i really did struggle. we sometimes arranged to meet other mums at the local park for the afternoon, and had a picnic, that way the kids were ammused with all there mates, some took there bikes, and it gave the mums a chance to chill out to

   kd, i only have one son, that made it harder as he had no one to play with, he is older now so i am past that stage. try sleepovers, a tent in the garden will always amuse them, unfortunately not for long though.if I think of anything i will let you know. how come it is 7 weeks, here it is only about 5 this year.

   Hi Roger. Just finished getting the kids to bed and got all the housework done. re. women bishops, yeah, why not? us girls can take on most roles cos were good at multi-tasking (something to do with being right-brained, I think) I can watch Eastenders, help my eldest with her homework, feed the baby whilst simaltaneously stopping my toddler from crayoning on the sofa. You know what I'm talking about, Maddie! sometimes though I think feminism has been taken too far. Women are expected to 'have it all'. run the home, bring up kids, forge a career, and stick a brush up their bum and sweep the floor as they go!
   Dont know if any of you saw 'The Wright Stuff' this morning. Matthew "I'm so smug" Wright had the gall to suggest that stay at home mums are lazy. Like, we should be so lucky. Reckon he says these things just to wind people up half the time. Devil's advocate or whatever it's called. Anyway, would be interested to know what others think. I do like this board, it's nice to have adult debate after wall to wall Cbeebies all day! x
