A lie-in

Children are really just an alarm clock without a snooze button, aren’t they?

Actual sleep

We know a lie-in is a lot to ask for, so an uninterrupted nights’ sleep would do.

Someone to clean the house

Or, like in Snow White’s case, cute forest animals would be so much better.

While they’re at it, someone to do the washing

Do kids actually make it their mission to get through as many clean clothes as they can in one day?

A new name

‘Mum, muuuum, MUM?!’ – gets old fast, right?

A shower without an audience

Why is it that, the moment we decide to have a quick wash, suddenly the kids want a chat?

To use the toilet without an audience

Same as above. Sigh.

Time to work out

How do those celebrity mums manage to raise their babies AND get back to their pre-pregnancy weight?!

Grown-up food

Don’t get us wrong, we LOVE Smiley Faces – but an adult meal with adult conversation and possibly all of the wine would go down a treat.

The same amount of energy as the kids

How. Do. They. Do. It?

To keep the babies as babies

Christmas is ultimately better when the house is full of little people who believe in the magic. Just a little bit longer, please?
