I may have lost any hope of winning any Mother of the year awards tonight 😉
I got in from work today and Miss Frugal sat me down, made me a cup of tea and gave me one of the cupcakes she made the night before last. Â They were both playing on Minecraft so I put my feet up and was catching up on my emails when one of my friends rang to see if we wanted to pop round – she offered to make me a cuppa so off we went – electronics in hand to keep the kids quiet while we were having a chat.
Both kids were good as gold and played together quite happily while we had a good chat over a cuppa but when I accepted the offer of another cup of tea at about twenty to seven, Master Frugal didn’t look happy. Â He came over to him and really sweetly asked if we could go home.
I said I wouldn’t be long but he still wanted to go home. Â When I asked him why he wanted to go home, he looked at me with big sad eyes and said:
I’m just a little bit hungry Mam – you forgot to give us tea!
How bad is that?
I think I redeemed myself by making a stop at McDonalds but even so, I’m pretty sure I won’t be getting any good parent awards after this!
(P.S. This *may* not be the first time I have done this)
