Gender Wars

by Team Oyeniyi

I’ve noticed a few mothers writing about the rules of their home lately.  Check out Let Me Start By Saying for a great list!  How about the wars of our homes? :lol:

We seem to be having a bit of a battle going on at the moment.

Girls

This is OUR space - KEEP OUT

Then there is the opposing camp.

Boys

Well, this is OUR space and you'd better keep out!

Mummy and Daddy have decided we need a sign on our door too. Any suggestions?

    How about ‘This is a child free zone, knock and wait, you MAY be allowed to enter’ lol, you have great kids!

      I like the “Child free zone”. Maybe “We might be making more” to follow it up? :wink:

        I like the child free zone idea. ;)

        I think that is about our favourite! :D Everyone needs “free time”.

    Stick with the standard skull and cross bones and the slogan ‘Abandon Hope All Ye Who Enter Here’ ;-)

      I was perhaps tninking more along the lines of “Unless someone has a broken leg, DO NOT ENTER”! Especially not just to plug in the vaccuum cleaner, which is what happened the other day!

    Yes! make a sign for YOUR door . . . filled with innuendo and inexplicit references. ;)

      That was my thought exactly!!! I’ve just got to come up with something “suitable”!

      Exactly! Hey – only been here 8 months and a bit and Mr O Jnr 2 is standing for House Captain at school!!! We are so proud of him! He may not win the position, but to have a go is wonderful!

    I had a giggle at the signs. I remember my daughter having one on her bedroom door too, as she is a neatness fanatic and the brother a slob. So while she was away at Uni during the week, he loved to sleep on her double bed…but of course he would obviously leave something out of place as there was always a fight on the weekend when she arrived. Eventually she decided she would lock the door!

      I thought I’d share them if for no other reason than they are typical of family life. Plus they gave us a giggle too!

      If I had been your daughter, I’d have been pretty irate too, so she has my vote to support her actions!
