to tell DH that if he gets so stressed and angry when building DS2's lego Atlantic model because some bits have gone missing..

[Ormirian]

a. he shouldn't bloody bother,
b. he should remember DS is 7,
c. It's meant to be christmas and a time of peace and joy to all men and women and children.

I don't care if it cost a lot of money!

DD I've spent most of yesterday building the Harry Potter castle. . I do get a bit annoyed when I can't find a bit but manage to keep the annoyance inside. DD will no doubt loose Harry Potter within days.

If on first build a piece is missing Lego will often send the replacement part. That's what I've found in the past - mind you it was a very obvious piece missing - corner train track section.

Lego can be very frustrating at times, made even worse if MIL has put wrong pieces in wrong places.

I miss lego building from my DC little years

DS still wonders to this day where R2D2 disappered to though. He is 19

See me? I am patience and saintly. Personified. I am brilliant me.

See today? I tried to build a petrol truck for DS and turned into Mommy Dearest.

I bought DS Lego and encouraged my family to do the same. I remembered Lego as fun, coloured bricks that gave three dimensions to the imagination. I never imagined the hell that would be Lego Kits. Evil, Evil, Evil.

kick him in the manjo
