Most mums struggle to find an hour to ourselves, never mind have a decent girls’ night out.

 

But this mum finally decided ‘enough is enough’ – she’s going out.

 

So she did. But not before penning a hilarious post about taking back her status as a woman.

 

“Mummy is a little bit excited,” begins the post, uploaded to a Facebook page entitled just Peter and Jane.

 

“Not only is it Friday, but Mummy is actually going out! On a Friday night! Like she was a grown up person without children!”

 

Not only that, but it seems she’s not expecting it to be an early night, as she’s “going out without the steadying influence of Daddy to suggest that perhaps Mummy is being a ‘bit much’, and maybe Mummy doesn’t actually need to dance on that table again.”

 

No, daddy will be staying put and dealing with the kids, undertaking all the “important tasks of burning the pizzas and refereeing WW3 before plugging the children into the electronic babysitters of their choice.”

 

 

Daddy will simply have to hang about and “await the return of his witty and charming wife” because, as she says, “mummy is simply delightful when she’s mildly inebriated.”

 

Naturally, she’ll bring her phone out for the night, but it won’t have its usual purpose. No, no.

 

As she says, mummy will not be needing her mobile “for anything tonight other than taking increasingly drunken selfies with her friends.”

 

“Mummy certainly will not be needing her phone to answer plaintive texts from Daddy about how to cook pizza or where the orange squash is, for tonight Mummy is not Mummy, because Mummy and her friends are reclaiming their personalities as actual people in their own right.”

 

And while she admits that she and her friends will “probably mostly talk about their husbands and children,” she says it will all be worth it.

 

Why? Because they’ll be doing it all “while wearing nice shoes and drinking stupidly overpriced drinks, which is what makes all the difference.”

 

In other words, mummy gets to re-join the rest of the world for once! You can read her full post in all its glory below.
