Slaying The No Monster

I wonder if you can help me please

We have a monster in our midst

The monster from The Land of No

The No Monster

monster

Every time the children want to do something

Every time they ask

Before their mummy has chance to reply

The monster shouts out No!

No when the baby is sleeping

Not while the baby’s awake

Can’t you see this grumpy Bea?

Now is not the time, for goodness sake!

No because she is working

Not while I’m making tea

I’m busy putting the shopping away

No you cannot watch TV!

Can you see what I’m doing?

Not right now I can’t

Maybe you can come in a minute then?

Perhaps I could but I shan’t

The monster blames a lot on the baby

The monster can be fierce and cross

I wish I could slay the monster

So much time is being lost

Can we play with these tiny things?

No, they are too dangerous for Bea

Can I use this noisy thing?

No, you might disturb the baby!

Before Mummy has a chance to respond

The ugly monster is out

Without any hesitation

No! We hear it shout

No I cannot get you a drink this minute

No I cannot help you clear your junk from the floor

I know that you need me right this second

But Baby Bea needs me more

I wonder if you can help me please

We have a monster in our midst

The monster from The Land of No

The No Monster

monster

Every time the children want to do something

Every time they ask

Before their mummy has chance to reply

The monster shouts out No!

  1. Apart from the baby parts this is so me too 🙁 I don’t like the Mum I’ve turned into…I always have an excuse and it really isn’t fair on the boys, but I just can’t snap myself out of it! xx

  2. Hi, we were gifted the book ‘Little Monstor did it’ by Helen Cooper when my second was born and my eldest was 2-it’s a somewhat humerous take on adjusting to life with a baby and my little boy still loves to read it a year later. I tried my best (and still struggle) to set aside a short time with him each day that was totally dedicated to him and me but I only have 2! All the best x
