- Name that stain Being a parent apparently means accruing a large knowledge of cleaning products and how best to combine them. I can’t make a Martini but I sure can combine Vanish, Napisan and bicarbonate of soda to get melted chocolate coins out of the sofa
- 56 wipe pick-up The rules are self-explanatory here, just insert whichever item you would prefer your child(ren) didn’t dismantle and throw around the lounge whilst you had the audacity to go upstairs and brush your teeth
- Midnight tag “you get up”. “No you, I just went”. “I will give you a tenner”…..
- Sniff those trousers Is it wee? Is it poo? No it’s just dribble, we’re good
- Race the dog to the vomit A particularly charming game where one of your children has thrown up and the Labrador will ‘clean it up’ if you don’t get there first
- Car seat bingo What is your child eating? The only clue is that they retrieved it from down of the side of their car seat
- The stood-on-a-piece-of-lego party dance No explanation required
- Supermarket sweep – where before you were perhaps one to stop and compare prices as you made your way round Tesco, now you dash round à la Linford Christie to avoid small child meltdown
- Pudding roulette – they ate a lot at dinner and it’s been a very exciting day, plus you don’t want to play the Labrador game again…
- Patience – Of course, you played it before you had children but it turns out it ain’t a card game
