Pardon the shouting, but EXCUSE ME!?  Mummy *wants* time to herself?  Try 
mummy NEEDS time to herself.  Pass me the address of this vile institution, 
so I can send them the contents of my son's nappy bucket.  I know exactly 
where you're coming from, Mecki.  I'm also one of those lazy housewife 
thingies who passes her kids on to everyone else and enjoys a life of sloth 
and luxury...*not*.  The Death Eaters who run this kindergarten have 
obviously never been stay-at-home parents themselves.  Yes, there are some 
women out there who can spend 24/7 with their kids and remain sane.  But 
let's face it, the majority of us can't.

When you get some of the potion, pass some over to me, will you? ;)

Was your husband spoiled by his mummy and never had to do anything?  Mine 
was; I literally have taught him all he knows.  He's fabulous with the kids, 
but incapable of doing 2 things at once e.g. watching football on TV and 
noticing that Gareth is flooding the bathroom again.  My weekly break, 
believe it or not, is my Saturday afternoon part-time job.  No kids, no 
hassle.  But what I've come home to...gads...

By the way, I want the alcoholic version of the potion, please.  It'll be 
worth the hangover ;)
