My Mum used tea tree oil for everything, it seemed to work. Perhaps she could be our nurse?

She was of the 'Bones broken? Blood gushing? No? Stop whining and go away!' school of parenting.

can I be the dinner lady - I do a great CHICKEN NUGGETS with FRUIT SHOOTS

are turkey twizzlers vegetables

I've been taking tips from my granny's school of parenting.

Only boring people are bored.

Be quiet or I'll give you something to cry about.

"I want..." will get you a smack in the face.

Can I join?

Well if kids didn't whinge so much normally it would be a lot easier to spot this stuff.

Sign me up!

Hah, my mother has morphed into a perfect grandma who thinks her grandchildren can do no wrong and are apparently made of glass.

Stuff that would have gotten me a smack gets DS1 a cuddle and a chocolate.

Hurumph.

We also did the running commentary for tantrums. He would get sooooo pissed off.

Actually thank god for this thread. I was starting to think it was me...

I admit all comers as long as you adopt the gafg philosophy.

I can decide whether to make LeQueen the manager or put her on the door........

Sprog2 (If I am joining Gaga I exercise my right to stop calling her 'DD' especially when today she is not dear or darling AT ALL) walked around with a broken wrist for three days because a) it looked alright to me and b) she was in the habit of screaming blue murder if she so much as stood her toe.

Whilst I was a leeeetle bit ashamed of the child-in--pain-for-three-days thing, it has meant that now when I say 'Does it REALLY hurt?' she pauses and says... "ummm... no, not that much..."

Can I be the swimming instructor? I have loads of floats to keep the kids in line.

Can I join too? My qualification is that I'm the teacher that would cause certain sections of MN to home school...

ROFL

Forgot I started this as I went to bed

It is sssssssssssoooooooo refreshing as pag said to find other likeminded parents.

Having just spent 2 days visiting a friend (who is the total opposite parenting to me and ^^).

Was about to start an AIBU and very lazy!! Shocked by her 2 dcs running around the house with crisps shes said no to and have been taken anyway, dropping them on the floor when they no longer want them and she just tidying up after. Was even more when 1 hurt themselves doing something she asked them not to, scratched, yes scratched her arm (no blood) and got given ridiculous amounts of sympathy and chocolate.

I'm from the above school of unless broken or fatal blood loss get a grip.

Sorry about that rather judgy rant - but really wished I'd had some floats on me.

Was reminded of this thread (and the other) on Monday night when DS swimming club teacher grabbed him and physically turned him to face her as he kept staring into space

His crime?!: Lazy arms.

Could call the police or buy him one of these

we could work on the design!
