We’re in Lockdown again. We were tired before, we’re knackered now.
Tried and Tested Grump Busters
Tiny ways to tame your mind. Take control of the black dog – or at least get him to stop barking in your face.
Less grumpy, more knackered
What kind of example are you setting those kids, eh?!
Yes you. What are you doing with your life? Shouldn’t you be setting an example, or something?
Snowflakes? Our kids are so flakey, they’re powder.

Everything in moderation for good health, they say. Can someone tell the kids please?
Just go and play out, would you?!

Calling back-up! Grandparents will save us.
When you just can’t cope, who you gonna call? Grandparents…
Send in Supernanny
Why would you publicly humiliate yourself on Supernanny? Ah, we finally understand.
Do your kids know how to play out? Really?
Can you open the door and shove them out, like our parents did with us? No? Wrong: you can.
