Fun fact, if you want your kids to stop opening the new toothpaste because they can't be arsed to finish the old one, hide the new one behind the new toilet rolls. Ain't no kid or husband going to look for it there.

I’ll never get over how people from Sandton will buy out all of the meat, all of the toilet paper, some of the veggies, none of the toiletries.

In the midst of all the gloom, my 14yo told me she is has completed her school project on syphilis complete with pictures and definitions and of all of the 'well done I'm so proud of you' conversations I thought I would ever have, that one never even made the top 100.

If the 17yo says 'sounds like a you problem' one more time, I'm going to ensure that whatever it is becomes a him problem.

How to feel old: replace your MacBook Pro. Everyone in the I-store is young enough for me to have birthed them myself. In fact, in 2 cases, I could probably have birthed both of them.

Parenting superpower: To simultaneously be super proud of my son who gets up before dawn to go running with his friends before school, while hiding how much I would not like to get up before dawn to drive him there.

I'm on a mailing list for Breitling and Omega watches. They helpfully send me the prices, which usually start at about a years worth of private school fees. For two.

Woke up to the news about Nadia. She was such a funny, friendly, lovely lady and was such a force in the publishing world. I had the pleasure of working with her on From Whisky to Water. Nadia you will be so missed. So so missed.💔 #RIPNadiaGoetham

Back home after doing a 40km round trip to fetch the 17yo's smart ID from Home Affairs after doing a radio show and several coaching sessions.
Me: "Phew, well I'm glad that's done!"
17yo:"Yeah, I'm exhausted. A whole hour in the car is hectic."

Marriage or mortgage (Netflix new show)? Which would you pick to be paid for you if you were given that choice? For me it would have been mortgage. Given the choice what would you do now?

And after childbirth, you have to work harder and better and longer to show how useful you still are even though you're sleeping 2 hours a night and trying to express, otherwise you get marginalised. And men wonder why we ditch breastfeeding as fast as we can.

Replying to @JustineLimLaw
It’s true. Childcare is disproportionately shouldered by women and that’s why they can’t take their rightful place in the workforce. Either restructure the way we work, or no babies. Simple!

14yo after watching The Conjuring 2.
Her : "Was that supposed to be a scary film?"
Me: "Yes, very scary."
Her: "The only thing that was scary was the interior design. To be honest, if you have a house that ugly you deserve to be haunted".
Me:.....

Please parents posting pics of your children, please cover their school badges. There are some people on this platform who do not have good intentions towards children and it is very easy for them to track your babies when they know where they are at school and which grade.

Viciously unfair.

South African scientists were the first and fastest in the world to identify any of the new COVID variants that are sweeping across the planet. Their reward? Other countries blame SA for the "worst" variant. Highly unfair, as noted by @Tuliodna in a scientific briefing tonight.

Today, after several days in quarantine I got to hug my children.
Me to 17yo : This is going to sound very cheesy but I really missed spending time with you and talking to you last week. I love you very dearly.
Him: That's cool.
Me:......
Him: Good for you!
Me......

Many of the big new organizations are running it like this. And then we wonder why women feel so helpless and unheard. This man was a monster to women around him. And yet...
Talented but flawed. Seriously.

Murderer who tortured his ex wife, ruined her career, locked her up, threatened to kill her if she left him....killed an innocent woman. AND sexually abused his adopted children......"talented but flawed???" @BBCWorld ....BIG NO!

Don't let covid stop you from telling your loved ones how important they are. Don't wait until "all this is over, and we must get together." There is no time to wait. And no time to waste.

Want to lose those festive kgs? Great new diet!
Rely on your kids to feed you while you're in quarantine. If you get one unsolicited meal a day you're lucky. 😑😑

I know it came out in the 1960s and the world was a different place but I am so thrown by the misogyny in Rosemary's Baby. Watching her beg her husband for permission to get a second opinion on her pregnancy and him saying he won't pay for it......wow. Just wow.
