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. Sad 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?

Grin @ Sparklingbrook

Bloody DH is making me go to sleep now. I can't WAIT to catch up with this thread tomorrow though, unless it's gone up in smoke by then.

Lucky you having such a well behaved and good mannered 5mo old OP. I'm sure he will remain so forever more. Lol.

Sparklingbrook · 26/06/2012 22:14

What were you doing in the park with a 5 month old that allowed you to observe all this terribleness?

Glitterknickaz · 26/06/2012 22:14

People like the OP really do exist though.
Tis scary.

Puffinsaresmall · 26/06/2012 22:14

Not the frickin wasp again, I can't take that.

xDivAx · 26/06/2012 22:14

What about the mole, and the dreaded rabbit, or the spider man? Please tell me they where there!

So who is on the wind up tonight?

toddlerwrangler · 26/06/2012 22:15

I was a smartarse at 5 months.

By 15 months I was a jibbering wreck.

Ahhh.
Mario
Wasps
T. Rex.
It's all clicking in.
Who are you OP?

Snowboarder · 26/06/2012 22:16

Is it wrong that I'm hoping against hope that this is genuine?

Salmotrutta · 26/06/2012 22:16

I expect the boys were doing The Mole (closed eyes) so they could disregard the signs. Shock

piprabbit · 26/06/2012 22:16

I promise that I will do my best.
To love my children (even when I don't really like them).
To serve them nutritionally balanced meals (Haribo has fruit in, right?)
To help myself to a Wine at the end of the day.
And the keep the MN Law*

xDivAx · 26/06/2012 22:17

Oooo, Salmo I'm glad you thought of that, the mole must have been there! I am so pleased! :o

And the rabbit, and the spiderman face like tony maguire. But only if you have that kind of face. It doesn't work otherwise.

carlysreducingtummy · 26/06/2012 22:19

This is totally genuine, just based on observation I've seen since my eyes are widened by having my own LO. Maura, my RLBF said that they would of had a clip round the ear from the local bobby for kicking the bark over the egde of the planting area's. But she's old.

Please come back OP, you're really cheering me up after a bad day at the park with my two ill-behaved children ...

I must 'of' forgotten to take the 'new mummies pledge'!!!

Greggs sausage rolls from Iceland are nutritious, right?

AnyoneForTennis · 26/06/2012 22:20

Why were you anywhere near the ice-cream van Carly??

BrianCoxhasSmellySox · 26/06/2012 22:20

Well, if she's old she won't know much.

Probably spends her time eating Spam and milking her cats.

carlysreducingtummy · 26/06/2012 22:21

I won't be giving chubster hariboo. evil stuff that is. Percy Pigs (and all his farmyard friends) all the way.
