It’s tough being a parent.
I know people tell you to ‘cherish every moment’ and ask for time to slow down because their children are growing up too fast, but do you know what, sometimes it is so tough being responsible for these small humans we created that quite often, you can feel overwhelmed.
You can’t get any peace and quiet for yourself – not even to go for a pee in the toilet – and because of that, sometimes we need a bit of help from an alcoholic beverage or two.
I keep seeing this video spring up on Facebook, Gin and Tonic four ways, and it got me thinking (dangerous, I know…).
I thought, wow, these look nice but I also thought, if I make one of these drinks and try to sit down with it, I’ll inevitably end up with one of the children yelling at me to wipe their poo bum, or to help them make a dragon out of a toilet roll tube and some pipe cleaners, or something like that. You never get 5 minutes peace.
So, I decided to make my own video.
Ladies and gents, I give you, Gin & Tonic four ways. A Life is Knutts version…
Thank you and goodnight…from under the bed with a G&T 😉

ahahahaha I have made a video (that is still private on my you tube channel as I haven’t had the guts to show it yet) and written a post on gin. The video basically involves me and my mobile bar – gin and tonic! Whoop. Thank goodness for this, not mother’s ruin, mother’s helper! I loved this and will be trying hiding in the airing cupboard next time! #FridayFrolics

Hahaha love this, not a gin lover but I do the same with the red wine. Pour a glass before bed times, big gulp before I put them to bed, run downstairs and have another gulp, finish bedtime and finish the bottle! brilliant video – I’m way to scared to do one #chucklemums
Hahahaha! Did you fit under the bed? I think I’m too fat to fit under the bed anyway! #chucklemums

DO it Laura! It was my first one, and I’m not talking in it for a reason 😉
Hahaha!!! I love your style. Bedtimes generally do suck. I might adopt your method tonight and see how it goes… 😉
Thanks so much for reading and writing.xx
I cheated, it’s the kids bunk bed that is actually quite high off the ground…well, that and the fact I am only slightly taller than a Hobbit at a statuesque 5ft 😉
