Copying and pasting 
I'd outsource all the meal-time things required for our girls. Chop the food, cool it down, put a bib on Briona, pull Hannah's chair up to the table, set up the highchair for Briona, prep more food for them in case they get more hungry, wipe them all over, pick up whatever utensil they just dropped.... and then all over again for pudding except it's messier!!

This is really mean but mine would be not having to do anything for Jack except play so no nappy changing, preparing food and feeding, no bathing or putting him down for naps and he was on mute so no whining.

My boobs, just for xmas day. I'd love to have a break from breastfeeding so that I could have a few drinks and not have to leave the room everytime Benjy got hungry.

ellabellame - if you just had one drink per meal you should be okay with Mikey being over 1yo?

Someone to entertain the family...so i can sit and relax and not deal with all the crap that seems to come about. I'm off to Mums in 7 days. woohoo. I'm so looking forward to getting out of here.
and L's work. He DID have 25th, 27th and 29th off, now, he doesn't because they rearranged the schedule. He keeps saying "i'm a duty manager i have extra responsibilities", and I say "no, they are taking advantage of you."
