C, tie her up, slap some gaffa tape over her mouth and stick her in the broom cupboard and sedate her, hopefully well enough to knock her out til sunday arvo when the rest come home?

I think it's because we forget how peaceful and lovely it can be to just have one child hanging around the house and nobody punching each other in the arm as they cross paths in the hallway.

Re: Child Free Long Weekend
Thats not funny..... I used to put sleeping tablets in my ex husbands coffee when he was in "one of those moods" to stop me getting smashed up.... Good job he drank old java... Ridiculously disgusting thick black coffee that if i had more sense i would have put cyanide in... He would never have tasted it through that muck

I've only ever put a sleeping tablet in someone's coffee once and I still regret having done it but I was only 21 and was told to do it be someone older than me. My sister had been at a wedding her husband was supposed to be best man at and he had been killed in a car accident a few weeks before, our mum and dad were terminally ill, it was the night our grandfather died and she had three little girls. She'd had a small breakdown at the wedding and had been brought home by her brother-in-law and I sent the kids to stay with family for the night and her brother-in-law told me to make her coffee and gave me a sleeping pill to put in it. I still regret having done it, we should have just let her scream all night if she wanted to.

however I wasnt a nurse at the time, just a young woman who got regularly beaten up by her husband... My ONLY regret was not putting enough in it to kill the barstard....
