‘I don’t make breakfast for my boys anymore’
Quitting smoking, starting a new diet, we know that now. But what are we not hungry for next year? “The boys spread their own sandwiches.”
Josine (42), mother of Daniel (9) and Adam (5) and ‘angry stepmother’ of Jessie (23) and Liam (19).
“I don’t make breakfast for my boys anymore. If you are hungry, then prepare something yourself. It’s such a wonderful decision: no more nagging about toppings.
“I will never again suffer from nagging about investments”
It was always such a hassle: ‘I want cornbread’, ‘I don’t like bread with seeds’, ‘I want less/more/no butter’, ‘I only want sprinkles with crocodiles in it’, ‘He has three crocodiles and I only one, blah, blah!’ Phew, I’ll stop with that torture.
