Times when you've had to bite your tongue

[robinator]

Hark! Babydust got bladdered the other night, her ahs is badly. Cleaning an ahs is Bobby's Job; you can borrer me broom, me duck! No excuse for being daddied ower and sprawled out on the dogshelf. Be sed!

Such a shonsher, I know....

Can someone translate this ? Lol is American words as confusing vice versa for UK folks? cause I honestly have no clue what that above story means... If it means anything at all

Ahem, *clears throat*

Listen! Babydust got trashed the other night and her house is a mess. Cleaning house is easy as hell, and you can borrow my broom! No excuse for being tired and laying down on the floor. Enough!

I'm such a show off, I know....

Now I will translate it into American....

Dude, Babydust got totally wasted the other night and her place is a hot mess. Cleaning is easy; you want some help? No reason to be sleeping on the floor. Knock it off!

Sorry, ladies, my sweet child has awoken.

Babydust, how do I say that in your slang?

I laughed so hard I woke up the baby. Oh nightmare... This'll teach me to multitask.

To keep this thread on topic: I saw a kid (who was definitely old enough to walk) in a pushchair. Not strapped in, stuffing his face with crisps from the largest packet you've ever seen.

Don't really care what other people feed their kids, but I felt I should be shocked and appalled.

Just googled Tim Tams and Violet Crumbles. Would absolutely love to have one or the other right now, but can't move for fear of waking the baby again. It's about time somebody posted how they bite their tongue every time they hear about a baby who only sleeps when sucking on you know what, don't you think?

 

[Stelly]

Wait, what is "the you know what" lol?

Confession of a busybody: I have tried and can't help but care what other people feed their kids, even though I usually bite my tongue. When I became a mom, I think I became everyone's really annoying nagging mom. You don't have to eat healthily ALL the time and certainly nothing should be off limits, but the portions and frequency of terrible food I see fed to other kids kills me. Especially to kids under 1yr. I saw another mom from the day care we used to use give her 7mo old daughter an ice cream cone from the on-campus creamery and that little girl ate the entire thing. The same cone that DH (200lbs) and I (120lbs) used to share and couldn't finish because we were making ourselves sick. Just blows my mind.

I used to be really judgey about what other parents fed their kids, but then my amazing eater became the pickiest kid you ever did meet. I'm just happy when she will EAT SOMETHING. More often than not it involves bread, cheese or meat. Not ideal.

Since you guys are on the subject of food I think I'd like some cream tea. Just divine! Clotted cream on a biscuit with some jam and a spot of tea in a little town called burton on the water. (I think that's the name. )

Was at a baby shower last night. Music was too loud. Had to shout to have a conversation. Then they turned it up ten more notches for dancing!! My ears hurt. I couldn't imagine my baby's and the other babies/little ones there. I left. (I was there a long time already and it was nice and I knew I shouldn't bother to say anything).

 

[robinator]

Now that I thonk about it, wonder what kind of accent my poor childs gonna have A mixture of Derbyshire/leicestershire and Australian!

Erm......I don't think thonk is a word....? Unless its Derbyshire slang?

Think thonk, lol

You don't know why the kid was in a stroller. Maybe he can't walk very far, maybe he has a disability, maybe he'll run into the street, maybe he's just lazy, maybe his mom is just lazy. Maybe he is allergic to all things healthy and can only eat chips? You don't know their situation, so how dare you judge???

Burton-on-trent (which is a river) is my local town

I should get off this thread, I thought Harry was happily playing in his ball pit until Katie shouted me, he was standing all on his own holding the xbox controller Kid turns into superman as soon as I turn my back I'll be back when he goes bed at 6

I'm off to church; I'll pray for you all

Ermahgerd! Wow... just googled cool whip.

G-R-O-S-S
Like someone else said, it's just whipped vegetable oil with some other crap thrown in. Now don't get me wrong, I'm far from eating organic foods and that crap but that list of ingredients doesn't sound the slightest bit appealing lol.

I'll take Cool Whip over Vegemite any day, Australia.

I posted Vegemite to a US friend of mine hahahaha. In fact, I sent a whole Aussie care back. She loves Tim Tams.

But didn't she hate the Vegemite? (I want Tim Tams...)

Actually what annoys the shit out of me is women who've never had a toddler complaining about toddlers being in strollers. First of all, my not even 3 year old is the height/weight of a 6 year old and 2nd, my baby will walk in front of a bus, but my toddler sure will.

I don't think I could ever eat something called spotted dick, but I did try turkish delight last week!

We're going to see MIL for the first time since my girls were born. I'm sure I'll come back with a whole list of things I bit my tongue over.

 

[Menelly]

Most of our local stores sell spotted dick on a can... It didn't seem very appetizing- may have to put my big girl panties and give it a try

Better dick in a can than dick in a box...
