About the Author

This blog is rapidly turning into one of those vastly irritating Momblogs. 'Oh my little darling did a poop, isn't he wonderful!' Is there anything more boring than other peoples children? As Billy Connolly said, 'Children are like farts - I can barely stand my own.'.

But.

My spawn, of course, are different.

Witty, talented, handsome. They're the whole package.

(ahem.)

Okay, maybe they have some challenges...

But I was delighted to see some potential writing flair -This came home with 8 year old Domestic Oubliette Jnr today...




Okay, it made me laugh.

feckin brilliant - "he doesn't like it but he gets over it" such self awareness, such pathos, why oh why didn't my parents move house all those years ago...

"he doesn't like it, but he gets over it" - I love it, also love the third person of it all. He says what he thinks and thank god for that. May that gift never leave him!
