1.It's easy to get to midday and realise you've not stopped since 6am but have achieved a grand total of fuck all. 2.Postman Pat is really starting to get on my tits. 3.You don't need an alarm clock when your son can just twat you in the face repeatedly. 4.Highlight of the week: Twin 1 pressing a toy that shouted 'Well done!' seconds after Twin 2 noisily shat himself. 5.If your son headbutts you on the nose mid-cuddle there's a good chance you'll also jolt your head back and whack it on the wall. Happy times. 6.A baby who poos while you're feeding them is, if nothing else, efficient. 7.Only as a parent have I ever sat down on the toilet and thought, 'yep, I've earned this...' 8.If our washing machine and tumble dryer were in a trade union they would've called a walkout for better working conditions months ago. 9.Nothing will underline how utterly exhausted you are more than sitting on the sofa for two minu

1.I don't care how strong you think you are, nobody is stronger than a baby that doesn't want to get dressed. 2.Incredibly smug parents are more irritating than genital warts. 3.It's entirely possible for a sweet, beautiful baby to stink like the Glastonbury toilets. 4.If youth is wasted on the young, parenthood is wasted on the tired. 5.My son's "poo stare" is more intense than an episode of This Is England. 6.A 6 month old kicking you in the balls is funny. An 11 month old kicking you in the balls isn't. 7.People who don't pick their dog shit up from kids parks should have their nose rubbed in it. 8.Nothing halts frivolity quicker than a baby grabbing your glasses. 9.I'm pretty sure the lingering stench of that last nappy has taken value off our house. 10.Getting pissed on by your baby is not an acceptable Mother's Day gift.

MONDAY Nappy leaked today. Went everywhere. Decided to kick what was left all over the wall. Big people were grossed out but come on, we’ve all done it. What’s their problem? TUESDAY That music on the baby monitor is proper shit. There’s no beat. Give me something I can move to. WEDNESDAY Faffed about forever before naptime. Threw stuff about and puked a bit. Finally got settled but then did a poo bigger than my head. Nap got postponed. Nobody was happy. What else could I have done? THURSDAY Woke up crying because I’d leaked. Big person tried to burp me. Didn’t work because I’d leaked. Big person put the pretty lights on. Didn’t work because I’d leaked. Big person sang lullabies. Didn’t work because I’d leaked. Leak reached their hand. Big person changed me. Went back to sleep. Big person is stupid. FRIDAY I’m feeling quite obsessed with one of the big people. Hate it when she leaves the room. Not the hairy one though. I don’t think he knows what he’s doing.

"Nah." 10.Your baby's first wave will make you weep.* *Especially if it occurs on the day you had to give his beloved Jumper
