Furniture building is not a team sport

Worth stating that making IKEA furniture is a not a fun family activity. 

1.5 hours in: 

  • 2 rows
  • 3 bouts of hysteria
  • 1 set of full-on Fortnite withdrawal 
  • 1 trip to get sweets and pizza, currently in progress
  • 0 pieces (of 4) furniture made
  • 1 mother wondering what on earth possessed me to think we’d turn into some fantasy family smiling and laughing while building furniture

2.5 hours in:

  • 1 large bag of sweets, fizzy drinks and junk procured
  • 3 pizza’s
  • 2 children in their rooms with all of the above, apart from one pizza
  • 1 mother rebuilding the existing attempts which include shelves at interesting angles and a table that doesn’t stand up
