Diary of a First Time Stay at Home Mum











So – being a stay at home mum means I have to do housework! I cant say – oh no, cant tidy up, I’m working. No time for washing, ironing, cleaning blah blah. Now it is my job to do! I am very confused as to how I ever had time to work – and by that I mean paid employment. Because obviously being at home is work – its called houseWORK isnt it? But there is so much of it and it never ever ever ends! You do one bit and theres still more. And more. And more. So anyway, today I decide to tackle the 11 year olds bedroom. Big mistake. In fairness to him he had tidied – sort of. So all I needed to do was hoover and wipe his bedside table, windowsill, drawers and shelves. No problem. Except – I used a bleach spray which seemed to be specifically designed to target my asthmatic lungs. Cue much gasping for breath and spending the rest of the day feeling wiped out. Lessons learned – Cleaning.Don’t. Just don’t. It can be fatal!
