anyone????????

[callmeovercautious]

Bless him Perhaps you need to tell him Grandma just means he is so lovely and sweet he is better than chocolate?

Our family use this term - and have explained it a few times, she gets it now and is just 3. Leave it unless he gets very violent! and try talking it though with him.

said it again today in a sort of angry at me manner

eating me = make me go away ???

[Horsiemummy]

Yep me too!!
my ds is neraly 3 and i get the "im going to eat you mummy" said in quite an agressive voice whenever things are not going his way.

i just ignore him and if he progresses to trying to bite i calmy say "i am not playing if you treat mummy that way - and go into the other room" or if he is doing it because i wont play i put him in his bedroom until he agrees that biting is not on.

ahh the joys of boys eh.

Reminds me of DD. She told her dad at that age she would chop off his head with a big saw when we win the lottery.
She is 13 now and her dad still has his head

we all get angry with our mothers sometimes!

better that he is able to express it than to feel too scared / guilty to show it. try asking why he wants to eat you up? 'Did mummy annoy you?'

i found that asking this gave my DS permission to get things off his chest and diffused it. Much better than taking it personally IMO. Dont worry about it. Normal.
