I found it recently and have read all 8 years. You are funny, perceptive and a wonderful writer. This post reminds me of when my boys were younger and the day they refused to wear rain slickers when it was pouring outside. It was one of those times when I was so angry that the veins in my neck were bulging. Not my best moment, clearly. I look forward to reading and hearing about your boys and what will follow.Sallynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175562867822111389.post-85687179185827578002015-03-20T08:44:23.680+00:002015-03-20T08:44:23.680+00:00I hear you - it has just got to that stage in the ...I hear you - it has just got to that stage in the term when everything is going missing. We did so well up till half term. Then in just a few weeks, swimming trunks, brand new goggles, games tops and socks have all gone missing.

Every other day we're about to leave for school and when I ask where my daughter's blazer/coat/fleece is, she shifts her eyes and says "At school" or "On my peg". Once at school, research shows that is another place it is NOT. Yesterday, it was her shoes that she left at school. Her SHOES! I ask you, how does such a thing happen? I'm almost certain it's not about bad parenting.Jennifer Howzenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175562867822111389.post-57667369453065231542015-03-20T08:31:58.438+00:002015-03-20T08:31:58.438+00:00I've got so used to having other children'...I've got so used to having other children's sports kit through my wash, that I've grown to accept the communality of property that seems a feature of school life, and I rather like it, really.

How do they lose things like coats? <br />The parent response in our house, when asked "Have you seen my.....?" is "Nope, sorry, Not my day to keep up with it."<br />We are currently missing one vital piece of paper to do with my teen's college entrance requirements. I have (secretly) turned the place upside down and he's.....playing the drums as I write. Oh well. Looks like he won't be able to complete his application.expatmumnoreply@blogger.com
