Thread: Fucking Funny Parent Moments

I just chopped out a section of my last post. Rereading it, I think it skirts too close to one of society's taboos. I was cheerfully chatting away about incidents of a behaviour that parents, ex-au pairs and childminders would be quite familiar with, but which for others might be too shocking and confronting, with a serious cringe factor.

The company I work for bought another a few months back and we're in full on absorption mode now; they did all their space planning in Giza and don't have proper DWG blocks, so the CAD Services department is working on that full time instead of doing space planning for the Project Managers (which I am).
