Welcome to the nut house multiples thread!!

Hello lovely people

Well here is my first proper posting as one of the 'newbys'.

Anyone any advice on the best 'punishments' (for want of a better word) for twins and naughty behaviour! Some of the 'naughty step/naughty corner' scenarios i've been in recently would probably make supernanny want to vomit! DD's think its a game for the first 20 minutes and I end up having to chase them around, if its just one that's been bad the other one gets involved and it ends with them both 'doing time' for not leaving each other alone, and by the time they have actually sat where i want them to for 4 minutes I have forgotten what i put them there for!!! The whole thing just descends into chaos, i turn into Mrs Shouty and swear one of these times my head will just pop clean off my shoulders.

My twins book says ignore bad behaviour - yeah thanks - thats really helpful when they have just locked themselves in the bathroom, smashed a glass because they were fighting over who was going to drink out of it, and you unlock the door from the outside to find them both standing there with broken glass in their hands!!

Sorry gone on a bit haven't I

I have spent the last 48 hours under a gaggle of twinnies with a cough. I am sick of the sofa. DT1 is such a mummies boy and is obviously in some discomfort as as soon as the calpol wears off he starts to whine. I must be the worst mummy in the world as it was really grating on my nerves today. Neither have eaten much for about 4 days and are living off ribena and pomegranite pieces. I have no idea where dt2 gets his mojo from but he whirls around like the Tazmanian devil and then flops. Bad mummy also gave them a doughnut for breakfast today, around the shops, as they had refused all other food till then. I'm sure I am getting sores on my bumpty from being glued to the sofa and know all the theme tunes form CBBees.

LOL I also mouthed the Greek word malaker to her ROFL - was going to say it out loud but I am almost sure she went to Greece this year on holiday. I just heard my sarcasm start to pour out of my big gob mouth. People like her are put on this Earth for me to spout off at!

Just been watching Peter Kay on This Morning - he is fantastic - thats the sort of accent we all have - especially our Lew!!

Bloody hell Shabs

Momma [impressed emoticon]

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr just rang school to ask if they would get a message to Tom. He has left his glasses at home and I know he will fret and worry all day about where they are.

Receptionist: <<massive sigh>> is this Thomas' Mum?

Me: yes, <<trying to make light of his forgetfulness>> if you could just get a message through to him it would stop him worrying.

Receptionist: Cant you text him on his mobile.

Me: Mobiles aren't allowed in school and Tom is one of those kids who stick to the rules.

Receptionist <<even bigger sigh>> Never mind, he only has 3 years left here for you to watch over him like a mother hen!

Me: I think you will find that is in my un-written contract as a good Mum!!!

Cowbag - I hope she gets the shits runs over the week-end!
