Guest guest Posted November 2, 2000 Report Share Posted November 2, 2000 Right, it's got to the stage where I'm getting so many scribbly pictures coming home from nursery with , not to mention the ones he does at home (all are pictures of me, apparently) that I am no longer saying " aww, lovely " and sticking them up in the kitchen, and am now instead throwing them in the bin. Does this make me a rotten horrible Mummy?

Guest guest Posted November 2, 2000 Report Share Posted November 2, 2000 >I have designated the wooden panelling on the side of the stairs/hall their > " gallery " (no paint to damage!) DS2 wanted to put a particularly glittery picture up on his bedroom wall tonight. I said he could, and immediately forgot about it. Went upstairs at bedtime to find that he had stuck a number of pictures on his wall............ with glue. Oh well, I never really liked his wallpaper anyway.

Guest guest Posted November 2, 2000 Report Share Posted November 2, 2000 DD2 brought home a Halloween spiders web constructed from water icing and a marshmallow today. Only the chewiness of the black paper stopped me from eating it! Lesley ------------------ Paint would make a welcome change from playdough encrusted clothes.....

Guest guest Posted November 3, 2000 Report Share Posted November 3, 2000 I approached this using Triage nursing tactics. 1. Those that get put on top of the dashboard or are held at the corners the whole way home and are put straight up on the wall. (About 3 a year if you have a particularly artistic child) 2. Those that make it into the house and lie on top of the microwave/fridge/porch shelf for about 8 weeks. About a tenth of these will make it to the wall but only when you decide to clear the top of kitchen appliances or have a rearrangement of the artist's gallery. The remainder will be sneaked into the bin; folded in on themselves which inexplicably reduces maternal guilt. These bursts of activity will invariably be prompted by the threat of a visit from HV or a friend who should have become an HV. 3. Those that find a useful life in protecting the rubber floor mats in the car. HTH Fiona Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
