Why can't life be easy? Why can't children be perfect? Why can't sisters keep their noses out? Why do sisters think they are always right? Why.........ok enough now.

This made me laugh so much! I was just on the phone to my sis who lives in the US.
She was married last year and is trying for a baby (though she is almost 40). In the past she has often commented on my kids with little comments like "Maybe you should do x,y or z" - which always makes me bristle (she has a knack for that :rolleyes:)
Today she said she was with some friends at the weekend with kids and suddenly had a panic attack - that she doesn't want that small suburban life, where all you do is talk about kids and washing powder etc
I smiled and said "Welcome to the dark side, wait til you're doing scratchcards every day and rejoicing when you win 25p instead of 10!!!"
I feel your pain Lucielle!

My sister knows which knobs to press to send me into orbit. I bite EVERY time!
