Our Blog of the Week (chosen from our Parent Bloggers Network) this week is a little controversial (we should give it an over 18 rating!) so please look away now if you are easily offended! We couldn’t help but snigger reading it though and we hope you will too. It comes from Just a Normal Mummy who ponders what life would be like without Grandparents on hand to help out…..

Thank F@*k for Grandparents.
Thank f@*k for f@*king grandparents,
They’ve saved my sleep-deprived soul.
From death by CBeebies and teething torture,
And only eating from a ‘Hello Kitty’ bowl.
***************************************
Thank f@*k for f@*king grandparents,
And last minute trips to the park.
That let me remember what quiet sounds like,
While I sit… slowly rocking… in the dark.
******************************************
Thank f@*k for f@*king grandparents,
The Wednesday-night sleepovers at Granny’s.
When Mummies and Daddies have alcohol for dinner,
And remember how willies work with fannies.
********************************************
Thank f@*k for f@*king grandparents,
For letting me pretend I have a life.
With baths, and mascara, and afternoon naps,
And an evening without the Garden in the F-ing Night.
*******************************************
Thank f@*k for f@*king grandparents,
Days aren’t just for soft-play and weeping.
There’s gin, and wine, and grown-up television,
And the occasional night-time spent sleeping…
