Last night Neil was away at a seminar and my sister Kristie invited myself & my 2 sometimes trying children over for dinner so that I wouldnt go crazy by myself. Well it worked & I appreciated the company of family & the fantastic meal. However, it wasnt till during the night after Olivia had woken me up & I couldnt get back to sleep, that I realised what a terrible dinner guest myself & my children had been, these are just a few of the reasons why:
1. I brought potentially day old cake for dessert.
2. I walked in, proceeded to play with kids & read magazines without offering to help right till dinner was almost ready.
3. My child was the one that didnt eat her dinner & caused a scene at the table.
4. I never cleared away my dinner dishes or that of my childs.
5. I never offered to do the dishes or clean a single item of crockery.
6. I made my sister change my childs nappy & get him in his pyjamas.
7. I brought the plague into their house (sorry Ewan).
8. I used all their medication & I dont remember putting the themometor back in the cupboard.
For all these things (& for anything that I cant remember) I am sorry. But I love you & thanks.
