It's nearly 11pm here. I have just shouted at my 5 year old (EG) to go back to bed for the xth time. She is early entered to school this year. She found a grade two (third year of school) maths book in her room and has been doing that for hours. I do NOT want to talk to her cos MUMMY NEEDS QUIET TIME NOW. And did I mention it's nearly 11PM?
She still talks ALL DAY except when I get some quiet time by making her go and play Minecraft. Anyone who criticises my lax parenting gets to look after her for a week and see what they think at the end of it!
And, I have three. Sigh.
