Don’t steal my shit …..{disclaimer}
This website contains material for my amusement only.
This is the part where I tell you to be kind to animals, to help little old ladies across the road, and just give other moms who are having a kak day a bit of a gap from the insistent need to offer them advise on how to control their child losing his/her shit in the bread aisle at Woolworths.
My stuff here is {mostly} my own thoughts - and I do not amend my speech to adjust to your map of the world, or an advertiser or in a bid to make money from my blog.
I think that ship has already sailed.
If the word FUCK offends you --- please step away from this blog, it is really going to offend you.
Some days I am really proud of shit I say, some days I am embarrassed - some days I have no recall of what happened yesterday.
This site may contain personal misinformation or stuff written for stuff sake. A fair deal of swearing, and moaning goes on here.
Activities and parenting advise appearing or described on this site may be potentially dangerous.
