It's a girl thing.

It's a Boy are the 3 little words every expectant parent should be hoping to hear! If you are hoping for a girl you can expect many years of ripped wall paper drawn on walls, spilled nail varnish and much more mayhem!

When I was expecting my middle child I was over-the-moon to hear it was a girl! How naive I was.. I didn't even think about the time my sister spilled my nail polish all over my bedroom carpet or the time she spilled syrup on my bedroom carpet and even if I had aren't these things any child would do? No. only girls. Boys are angels. sure you can expect a few bugs in their pockets when you do the laundry but compared to girls they are saints. I am glad I have 2 boys and only one girl because it is hard enough to cope with my one girl.

I am going to take a moment now to explain that in this blog and future blogs I will be referring to my eldest child as Blue, middle child as Pink and the youngest as Red.

Now, a few months ago I was in a rage because Blue had got Pinks hair tangled in a toy for the second time and we had to cut it . Pink is my only girl, my little princess and I want her to be beautiful but it seems something always seems to go wrong with her hair! I was so angry I wanted to give blue away but looking back that was silly, I'm sure blue didn't mean to get his sisters hair tangled.

The past few weeks have been infuriating. I expected pink would have went through the drawing on walls stage a long time ago but she has only just started! my wallpaper is ripped and drawn on in just about every room! today she got into the peanut butter and spread it everywhere. she's soaked the bathroom floor countless times. I am not going to sit here and write every little naughty thing she has done that would take too long. I just want to warn expecting parents what they are getting in for if they get a girl.

You can absolutely believe it's a girl thing.

I once resented that my brother seemed to be favourite but I know why that is now. I don't have many memories of being a child but I do remember getting sent to my room for something and being the smarty pants that I was I peed on my bed and when my mom found out I just said well you told me not to come out.
a boy wouldn't do that. a boy wouldn't pour nail polish on the carpet or syrup like my sister had. it's a girl thing without a doubt.

I realize many of you reading this may have a daughter or lots of daughters, and I hope you can proove me wrong that girls aren't that bad but this is how I see it.

I have many years of mayhem to come with pink and one day she will be grown into a woman and then she will be her husbands problem! well I'm sure that's what my mom thinks about me!
