Principles, What Principles?
2 February, 2006 at 12:41 pm by belgianwaffleThe Princess has been at home sick for three days. She’s going back to school tomorrow. Rejoice. I’m exhausted. You know that Mr. Waffle and I are somewhat proud that the Princess doesn’t watch any television? After two days at home alone with my three children, I rang Mr. Waffle and asked him to stop off at the video shop on the way home and, for God’s sake, pick up something for the Princess. Hotfoot upon pride comes Nemesis the avenger. Yeah, she’s on her way up from the school now to taunt me.

Is that the little girl you met the other day? Nemesis the Avenger, I mean?

on a recent preschool application form i was requested to note how much television the child watched per day, as well as what kind. it was with great remorse that i wrote ‘disney videos.’
we’ve got a cold here, too. i’m ready to feed her to the wolves.
you’re better parents than us. The wiggles save my sanity for half an hour every day, and probably every 3 hours when I have to feed Seth once Jimi goes back to work!
My little one loves to watch television and I encourage it so I can drink cocktails get supper ready, etc. But only normal drama, news, films etc. I don’t want her watching any of that children’s muck. I wonder how long I can keep her ignorant of the wonderful world of teletubbies.
Mike, quite. Kristin, oh dear, I know PRECISELY how you feel.
Minkleberry, you are a far better parent than I will ever be, you are at home, with two children all the time and an oozing wound to boot and you only watch half an hour’s telly a day. You are my hero.
Kate, you have no oozing wound, you’re clearly just a dreadful parent.
