That toddlers should do national servicd.

[GretchenWiener]

Lazy sods. Play all day. Get fed. Get read to.
If they were trekking with a thirty kg pack on their backs they'd be less likely to scream in their gardens.

Service. Fat thumbs

Oh I see. The first thread was too subtle!

National service??? Are you mad? Then who'd clean my chimney?

Maybe 5kg is enough. Yanbu!!

Damn right. And what's with all the laughing and falling over? Layabouts!

Mine is already put to community service making and selling cakes for brownies at fetes.

They should change their own damned nappies!

Yes please! Let me know where the drop off point is to put toddler on the coach.

I think the threat of an army of toddlers turning up in your country would prevent most wars.

with all their wibbling and wobbling about and slurred, babbling speech I suspect they're all a bunch of drunks

Yabu - mine are past the toddler stage! How about national service for pre-teens?

Mrs Rambo,
I love the idea of not being able to get a war organised because hundreds of wee people need their bums wiped, or want juice or need just the right apple or their world is over land you have to do it all while singing the Big Red Bus at all three speeds again and again.

MrsW that is quite a terrifying picture you have painted there!
Definitely a more effective deterrent than a shed load of nukes!

I also think that all school holidays should be banned in the interest of child safety. 6 weeks at home with two boys....
... someone will be hurt. really hurt.

Where do I sign them up ?
Dts have just turned 4 so might not technically be toddlers anymore, but I am happy to lie about their age.
