to think my 2yr should say "biscuit please" not "biscuit *NOW*!"

He is just 2 and says NOW a lot but today I have taken umbridge at this. He finished his lunch and bellowed "pudding NOW!" I said, "pudding please" and he just kept bellowing " NOW ". He's a bright lad and I'm fairly sure he understands that if he says please he will get, but he just kept repeating NOW so I didn't give it to him. He's not too bothered, he's asleep but I feel really tight now. But I also can't have him going about ordering things from people NOW!

Should I just give it to him when he wakes up? Was I BU?

DD3 started signing 'please' at 20 months - took DH and I a bit to realise what she was doing, as she'd picked it up at the CM's (there was a child there with speech delay, so the CM used Makaton with her) and we didn't click that was what she was doing.

Now, at just over 2, she knows to say please and thank you - often needs reminding, of course, but will almost always say it when reminded.

So, no, YWNBU - glad you got such swift results Grin
