I can so relate to this ...Haha, you made me laugh. I can so relate to this - I've had many a similar trips out with the kids. I often leave wondering "why do I bother?". Here in France the French mothers are so controlling, their children all seem to do exactly as they're told. It always makes me feel inadequate as my more relax style of parenting seems to produce very stubborn children and the times where I insist they do as they're told often leads to similar clash of wills as you had on the beach. My only consolation is that my willful children have so far turn into very independent but considerate and loving adolescents (2 down 3 to go), so it's all worth it in the end :)Nikki - A Mother in Francehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10278171772063256779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3990029456304178450.post-79428773689561911532011-09-12T08:59:36.095+01:002011-09-12T08:59:36.095+01:00lol love it , glad my family aren't the only f...lol love it , glad my family aren't the only family like this lol ...popping over from the love new blogs page xAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00657735311629627835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3990029456304178450.post-13346488032035875072011-09-07T21:46:41.309+01:002011-09-07T21:46:41.309+01:00Mahahahaahahhaa that is AMAZING.

You sound much more fun than a bloody Boden family with their boules, ffs. <br /><br />But totally sympathise with the screaming thing. Moo is the only baby on the bus/train/plane squawking and wriggling. EVERY OTHER BABY IS SITTING NICELY. We should fly together, maybe our children will cancel each other out...? ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3990029456304178450.post-2053441340000558302011-09-07T12:19:24.250+01:002011-09-07T12:19:24.250+01:00How wonderful that it's not just me.

Especially when they can drop to sleep at a moment's notice when they're strapped in their car seat.<br /><br />As for the beach, the Boden family will have their dark secrets - you can have fun working out what they might be...John Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14593973456394123461noreply@blogger.com
