I am a great mum, really I am an awesome mum, right? Hmm . . . . . of course I am . . . . right? OK let’s face it we all have moments as parents where we are not so perfect.
I dropped my kids off instead of walking them to class today, they said ‘can’t you walk us?’ To which I told them it was ‘mummy’s coffee morning‘ with my mummy friends and I didn’t want to be stuck in traffic. My daughter then said, “but we should matter more than coffee and coffee isn’t good for you! What who told her that? Coffee is very, very good for all adults especially those with kids to raise!!! It is only children it is bad for! I then informed my poor mislead child (*note to self educate 11 year old on how it is bad behaviour to tell a parent that coffee is not good for them!) that it was not about the coffee, it’s about the chats! She then told me that ‘us mum’s’ chat too much! Seriously my child needs to be educated! I mean what do they teach them at school? It is clearly not that they should respect their mother’s right to coffee and great company and decent (or at times not so decent and perhaps a little racy mummy) conversation!
I really have to question the education system! I mean I get Math is important as you need to work out how much your coffee and cake adds up to! And I guess sport and health education is important as they should learn to burn off the calories from the cake, and maybe English is important to learn how to text your friends to organise where we will meet for coffee.
Example. “Hey ladies are we meeting at the usual?”
Oh and history, they should learn the history of coffee and know where it originates.
Yes I guess education is important, but they really should add how to respect your parents rights to coffee to the curriculum, don’t you think? Let’s unite!
Thanks for joining me, love Mac xx
PS: Please leave me comments, this mummy also requires comments to make her extremely happy, thanks xx

We would get on like a house on fire!! Coffee, coffee, coffee – nothing more needs to be said. There should be an automatic nod of understanding that mom’s having coffee with other moms is our right…and a necessity, lol. You made my day with this post! #fabfridaypost
I know I totally agree with you, it is our right! Thanks for your comment it made me giggle xx
Haha – the education system is obviously broken! I guess we’ve got to do the job ourselves and integrate them into the coffee drinking world…love the Babyccinos that Starbucks do (frothy milk on its own) which help develop a love for coffee houses from a young age #FabFridayPost
Oh, this made me laugh! My daughter was “educated’ through trial and error and learned the lesson early on that her mummy NEEDED that coffee! 🙂 And that cake. Especially if it was chocolate.
oh yes cake is super important too!
Here Here sister! Though I drink decafe latte, but I’m totally with you on that one. At the moment, when I asked Ethan to do something – he sharply turned to said “No” in a short sharply, non-negotiating way – just plan rude! I said to him that he was being rude to mummy. He defensively said “No, I was not being rude I was just saying “No”. Sometimes, I am really tired of talking to this chatterbox. lol! Thank you for linking up with us again Mac. Hope you were able to still enjoyed your coffee with your friends. xx #FabFridayPost
oh yes we had a great time, thanks xx
Hahah this made me laugh. What are they teaching them in school?! Totally agree with you. This would be a good meme something like “teaching children to respect coffee time…” and a picture of a Mums standing together (sorry I can’t think of something better, I’m a bit hungover today! Not fun with a little one!) Hmm actially, we should have a meme for “teaching children to respect wine’o clock ha ha! Thanks for linking up with #stayclassy
Kids should also be taught HOW to make coffee! 😉 for us, of course.
oh! forgot….#fabfridaypost 🙂
I was discussing with another mom today during my daughter’s dance class how I cherish my quiet time in the car as I drive to work. Having those moments to enjoy quiet time (which I listen to talk radio) or coffee time with friends are what gets us through the day. And of course, I always stop at the Starbucks conveniently located across from my work to get my daily dose of caffeine. Great post!
Oh what time is coffee? I need one and I don’t have children! This post brought a smile to my face Mackenzie so have a coffee on me!
Brilliant, and I completely agree. This is especially interesting as I didn’t ever like coffee before being pregnant, I’d take part in after dinner coffee, but could never figure out how I liked it. Now, I miss my coffee if I don’t have one every few days…. Lattes it is! I often use the hashtag #mummyneedscoffee 😃☕️
OOOOPS forgot #bigpinklink
Yes! Let’s totally unite on this! The education system is nothing if these facts are not taught daily…! Great post Mac, and although tongue in cheek, was actually very thought provoking. I go out very little nowadays, and never leave my children (neither are at school yet) with anyone else during the day, as I’m always so focussed on ‘I have to be there at all times.’ I don’t know where I get this notion from, it’s just part of my personality that makes me feel guilty about absolutely everything…! And I know I need to start taking some time out from them, because I can’t be there for them for every second of every day. Choosing the coffee over them for a morning a week won’t make me a bad person!! Especially if part of their school curriculum tells them hoe important coffee is to mummy…! Thanks for sharing with #bigpinklink!
Totally I am on my second cup this morning prior to taking my three to the theatre to see Rainbow Magic! Argh!! #sundaystars
I’ve had three cups of (cold) tea today, one was herbal, it was alright. I haven’t had cake though. My daughter tells me cake is bad for me and that’s why I’m not straight up and down like she is…rude…I mean, round is a shape, right?! I think coffee mornings and conversation keep us sane, and children will never really know why mummies need them until they have little treasures of their own. #SundayStars
Ha ha this is brilliant, I actually don’t drink coffee as I don’t like it (I know!!!) although I am very partial to Chai Lattes and I am hoping to make the most of them while I am on maternity leave! After all I think coffee mornings keep us sane!! Thank you for joining us at #BloggerClubUK hope to see you again next week x
Ha ha! I love this. Although, I do have to replace coffee and cake with tea and cake. But I definitely agree that the mummy chats are hugely important. I think I would go mad without them. Thanks for linking up with #SundaysStars. Hugs Lucy xxxx
