[Annette Fisher @miniannette]

Secretary Buttigieg: "I'm thinking of dinner time at our house in Michigan, when the dog is barking and the air fryer is beeping and the mac and cheese is boiling over and it feels like all the political negotiating experience in the world is not enough for me to get our three year old son and our three year old daughter to just wash their hands and sit at the table. It's the part of our day when politics seems the most distant, and yet the makeup of our kitchen table, the existence of my family, is just one example of something that was literally impossible as recently as 25 years ago.
…
I don't presume to know what it's like in your kitchen, but I know as sure as I am standing here, that everything in it, the bills you pay at that table, the shape of the family that sits there, the fears and the dreams that you talk about late into the night there, all of it compels us to demand more from our politics than a rerun of some TV wrestling deathmatch."

@bwmoles @lawyer4SMBs Haha! Our generation had the best cartoons - Sharky & George anyone?!

[Annette Fisher @miniannette]

@bwmoles @lawyer4SMBs I still refer to these videos when explaining biology stuff to people. My 3yr old loves them - they are a little dodgy on fat shaming but otherwise they still work really well

[Annette Fisher @miniannette]

@lawyer4SMBs @jennifer425_ This is also clever - dips work well just don’t let ketchup be one of them. Also put a little bit of butter on all veg - improves their eating of it a lot

[Annette Fisher @miniannette]

@lawyer4SMBs @hgandreasen changed my whole perspective too. Was told by someone that their doc said as long as a kid averages 30 meals in a month they are not fussed. However I found the book ‘French kids eat everything’ for the problem you’re describing - our kid no longer snacks and eats at most meals

@EmmaSzewczak And tube tie-img has a high failure rate

[Annette Fisher @miniannette]

@peachsweet_tea @_MicMack_ Women work too - we both come home at the same time from work. Why is it my responsibility to look around, see what needs doing and then give him a list? Why are t we both noticing what needs doing after a day at work? The house is both of our responsibility

[Annette Fisher @miniannette]

@Komaniecki_R @Bobbycressey I did this too and was super trolly by asking - how do you do schooling with screen time because I knew the answer “we don’t limit screen time”. Unschooling is just parents letting their kids sit on YouTube and Minecraft all day

[Annette Fisher @miniannette]

How about they do some actual mental labour - look around and figure out what needs doing. It’s not women’s job to assign chores

[Tyler Todt @tyromper]

*Tip for women.

Most of us men really want to help but don’t know how.

Give us lists!

Give us list items weekly we can take off your plate & we love to help!

Guys, ask her what can I take off your plate today?

The key is solid communication around this.

We can’t READ MINDS.

[Annette Fisher @miniannette]

@HannahAlOthman Hard disagree. Their breakfasts pots and hash browns are my favourite takeaway breakfast

[Annette Fisher @miniannette]

@hasyourregtried Can you please tell obs & Gynae that greys should not be default in hands?!

[Annette Fisher @miniannette]

@LauraPAuthor Bought a foot measurer fir home and buy my kid’s shoes on vinted

[Annette Fisher @miniannette]

@jaregss @Jay_Edlin @br_ttany @aexm @maiab My fave city in Europe but too hot with little kids in the summer

[Annette Fisher @miniannette]

@br_ttany Glasgow Southside. We left London for similar reasons to why people leave NYC with little kids and have found the perfect home here. Amazing with small kids, loads of community but all the advantages of a big city also incredible beautiful countryside very close

Can we please remember that:
a) Scotland is legally obliged to balance its budget and
b) It can never know what that will be until it learns what
pocket money is coming from Westminster (AKA the block grant.)

@mbateman How can you set up an iPad to only allow a few limited things - I’d love to do this
