Entry for 7th January, 2009 - Looking after kids is not like painting the Forth Bridge

My Significant Other commented tonight that tidying up after the kids is like painting the Forth Bridge.
But it is not like painting the Forth Bridge. If you are a Forth Bridge painter, you get a lunch break, and you get to stop at five o’clock. Plus you get paid, and probably you get a pension.
Plus the Forth Bridge is not sick on your shoulder, and does not defecate in its pants every two hours while singing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.
