to hope that I do a better job at childreering than many of the parent's I see around?

[carlysreducingtummy]

I know my chubsters only 5months (and 3 days lol), but after a few months of observing the behaviour of older kids, I just hope that my boy will grow up to be better behaved than alot of kids I see around. Some boys today in the park, well I won't go in to it but, I would of been horrified if my one grew up to be as disrectful as that?
Am I wrong in thinking its time for a change and that all new mummies should take a pledge to bring up polite and caring kids as a kickback to this rude genneration that we have before us at the mo?

Please do not write 'would of'.
The correct term is would have, as any well brought up person will tell you.

YANBU to hope you do the best job you can, but YABU to judge other people until you've faced the reality of parenting. You've been at it less than 6 months.
It made me a more tolerant teacher when I had children that refused breakfast and got angry and lost kit. rather than the somewhat self-righteous one I had been

OP, I had my first last year! But I new what I was getting myself into, you can teach children all the right things in life. That does not mean they are going to listen. Children misbehave, and that's a fact. I think you are being a little bit judgey. How do you know that the parents of those children don't have the same ideals as you?

Aw bless you OP! There's nothing wrong with wanting to raise respectful and polite children.
But don't hoist your judgey pants too high. I used to be a bit judgey before I had children and when DS was very young.

He is 4 and a half and I am wiser now. I consider it a good day at the park if he has not "shot" some random stranger with a stick gun.

Ha ha. We live and learn.

5 months and three days? You should write a parenting book and teach the rest of us morons everything you know.

Oh gawd can you imagine the mumsnet version of the "mummy pledge"......

FGS can't well brought up polite people have spelling issues? I wasn't dragged up through a ditch but am quite dislexic, I don't see how it'll prevent me from raising a polite considerate member of society!

Got to be a wind up

We have:

chubster
lol
alot
would of
mummies
no mention of other parent aka 'daddies'
lols

but taps nose op can spell 'pledge'.

Chubsters???

It's not just the spelling. It's the whole op. sorry but it is.

I fear this may not end well.

I learnt about AIBU the hard way too op!!

Please someone write the mumsnet pledge. Please. Please.
[lazy emoticon]

Ha ha ha ha ha! You'll learn!

I remember being in a cafe with a couple of friends and 3 3 yr olds (well behaved ones at that). A family were celebrating their little darlings first birthday and spent the whole time tutting at us and making passive aggressive comments about how some people don't know how to make children behave.

Enjoy your baby - one day that chubster is going to be a little person with their own opinions and personality. And you will realise that it takes children quite a while to understand consequences to their actions and to be able to see things from other peoples perspectives. Good luck!

Gosh.

What did the boys in the park say?
Tell us.
I'm a nosy old lady. You have to do as I say.

Oh and my "chubsters" turned into forthright little individuals by about 10/11 who embarassed me on more than one ocassion.

Hah! My 8 yo says "what?" in a strident voice a lot, and wipes greasy fingers down her trousers despite being told not to many, many times. That twee phrase about your children being "lent" to you springs to mind - God forbid - they are human beings with MINDS OF THEIR OWN. How very dare they!

puffin you forgot childreering

Yes indeed OP, of course to my pregnant mind my child was the second coming, turns out she is the actual anti-christ at times.

You go for it.

My darling little chubsters are 17 and 21, and trust me OP, shit truly does happen.

You know when you start writing a post and then think I really can't be bothered? This is one of those posts. I only came on because I thought it was about some new concept called children engineering.

occasion? I never get that one!

you are all being 'orrible to this mummie and her chubster.

Stop it right away!

Tantrums - FUCK! I didn't even see that! childreering absolute class. My money is on Bof.

Never mind dem *itches op, u no ur lil man best.

Oh dear... this will not end well OP.
