Do it like Mumble Mum

That's very good.

I'm going to send that to my daughter. She just bought shitloads of self adhesive ones before I pointed out that they're not washing machine proof.

My most valuable parenting tip would be to teach your kid not to flinch in public.

When the boy was younger and sulking/kicking off etc I'd stand there stern faced and say

"No, don't laugh, no, don't do it"

He would be laughing within 5 seconds. Crisis over.

I tell them that their pout is rubbish, and I can do a much better one. Then we have a competition.

Being a superb parent, I understood that his choice of football strip would deeply effect his self confidence.
I instinctively knew that I had to step up to the mark and do the right thing by my boy.

I would have done the same if I saw my son in a Liverpool kit.

As long as you get them back from her before bed time, I don't see any problems.

Having recently changed jobs, I now work shifts and can take the kids to school and pick them up some days.
My oldest lad is ten and seems to have arrived at stroppy teenager mode ahead of schedule.

On the days I take them in the car, I have found a great way to make the whole process trouble free. The family car disco. If he is kicking off, I blast really cheesy music out and me and the two little kids have a mad disco. I throw some awesome dad dancing shapes, just as his mates are making their way past our bouncing parked car.

Just the threat of this has now transformed the whole process into a trouble free experience.

Any other superb parents have novel approaches to dealing with the little angels?

My lad's 10 1/2 and already in teenage mode as well, I think they just grow up quicker nowadays..

Have to say my 14yr old still knows how to use his shoulders, and can still speak English.

Our house is like an unfunny Kevin and Perry sketch most days.
"Stop eating the remote control, lad" I will say calmly.
"I'm not....hmmph" he will reply sarcastically, while gnawing on the remote.
"It's full of teeth marks, and it's in your mouth" I counter, not unreasonably.
The door gets slammed and he stomps upstairs muttering stuff about moving out and how unfair life is.
Still, it's only for the next decade or so.

The first 30 years are the worst .
