am gonna kill him, truly, he is driving me POTTY.

in the kitchen, MNing and cooking, and white stuff floats past the window...........

I go outside woindering if a sudden freak snowstorm is going on, and find stuffing from bears littering the ground.

DS2 is the only one upstairs, he has a known 'thing' for scissors.............he is however STILL claiming innocence

those bad fairies are at it again so he says........

how the hell do I deal with this??

the only suggestion I have will drive you to insanity quickly.

Don't allow him out of your sight while at home for al least a week and do you have a lockable box you can put all scissors in?

tell him that he is in charge of the bad fairies and therefore has to endure the same punishment at them?

How old is he btw?

moving scissors is all very well when you have one child, but with 5, one of whom is doing a textiles course for GCSE, plus me who uses them daily for sewing and cooking.........tis not as easy as you might think when you have a small boy with quick eyes!!

and he's still alive????

What can you confiscate? What chores can he do to earn money to repalce teddy bears?

dd2 has just turned 7, it's the 3 year old we hide the scissors from.
