Toddler mummies - can you remember the last time...

[Abbie]

You went to the loo without a little helper?

Had a bath/shower without them hanging over the side?

Ate your own breakfast/lunch/packet of crisps/whatever without sharing it?

Put the rubbish out without having to worry about them following you out?

Basically anything without a 2 foot shadow attached to you by elastic?

She's driving me insane this morning. There's half the contents of her toy cupboard spread all over the living room floor but she's still hanging around begging for my breakfast

[S-J]

Not sure if Jack is a toddler yet (guess he is as no longer a little baby) but I have this already!

I actually said to DH this morning I cant remember the last time I ate my breakfast without having to give him some!

[WiCkEd_WeNcH]

The last tme i did that without atleast one helper was the other week, they weren't here.

In the shower they both try and get undressed and get in with me

[Mad Madam Mim]

I can't even keep the loo roll in its proper place as he unwinds it while I'm in the shower.

If i go to the loo he shouts Muuuuuuuuumeeeeeeeeeee where are you?

He cannot bear other people to eat without his assistance especially daddy and I - he's sucha little scavenger he even wants some of my drink (I have to tell him its wine, if its something other than water - I hope he doesn't say to everyone I'm drinking wine all day )

I don't mind him following me to put the rubbish out as our garden is enclosed but the pinching of kitchen items while I cook then running off to hide them is getting frustrating - as is finding all manner of weird stuff inside my guitar.

Oh god I have this!

I am asked constantly what I am doing, where am I over and over again

Oh and we are going through the why, and what for stage as well and just no answer will satisfy him

[DietCoke]

totally agree! Ruben and Grace follow me round, eat my food, drink my drinks, watch me poo , try to use my toothbrush...

The worst thing is the two dogs follow me round too - I'm like the Pied Piper...

no one in this house is allowed to go to the loo without madam banging on the door and hollering til they come out. When I'm home alone (or just DH is here) I don't bother shutting the door. More difficult when other people are in the house, if I leave her outside she bangs and hollers outside, if I take her in with me she bangs and hollers from the inside

[Roseyposey]

Yep we have this too. I encourage her to come to the loo with me and sit on her potty at the same time! She loves it!

[Abbie]

I'm glad I'm not alone then.

This morning she's:

Hung over the loo while I was having a wee shouting "poo-wee mummy, yuk" whilst holding her nose - I was only having a wee for goodness sake.

Climbed into the shower fully clothed and squirted conditioner all over the place

Wearing an assortment of my knickers on her head after "helping" me get dressed

Got shut out in the garden when I nipped out to put rubbish out and I didn't notice she'd followed me out.

Emptied the kitchen cupboard while harassing me while I was getting some breakfast and a cuppa

Begged half my cereal despite having already eaten 2 weetabix with half a banana, the other half of the banana, some toast, some strawberries, a breadstick and some cat food

Generally just followed me around EVERYWHERE I've been

[Hanie]

I've spent the past 4 years never being alone, and now I'll be spending the next 4 years the same until Hannah starts school.
