Do you have any funny tales to tell about looking after your children?

I'm looking for 10 women, aged between 30 and 55, who are willing to talk about something funny/lighthearted that has happened while they were looking after their children or other peoples' children. We're not perfect as mothers and this is a light hearted look at when things go a bit wrong ie your baby slips out of your grasp because you were helping your toddler do his coat up, you insist your five yr old has an ice cream because you promised her one when really she wants an apple etc.

This is for the August issue of a womens monthly magazine and will coincide with the summer holidays.  Anything you can think of, please do get in touch with me, Elizabeth Openshaw, at rectory.gardens@uwclub.net

My deadline is 3 May 2011. I am away from 12 to 22 April, however please send your stories and I will be in touch on my return. Thank you.
