after many discussions with my DS1 aged 6 about going to sleep at a reasonable time and the constant NO he decides tonight that after watching NINA AND THE BLOODY NUERONS he would go to sleep at seven o clock because NINA told him to do it and not me. AIBU to feel like this

YABU to discuss going to bed at a reasonable time with a 6yr old...they don't get to choose imo.

But is 7pm so unreasonable or did you want him to go later?

WorraLiberty · 30/09/2012 22:18

Oh I see sorry

You wanted him to go at 7pm and he said no until Nina said he should

Is that it?

devonshiredumpling · 30/09/2012 22:22

i wanted him to go at 7 he has been saying no but as Nina is a "scientist" she knows better than me and he went to bed all because SHE said so

Well... He's doing what you want, isn't he?

Did she really? Is it on iplayer? Did she also do a "eat your vegetables" Jedi mind trick?
(and a "wear knickers" one would be really handy too)

in fact the possibilities are endless

PC Plum "don't drop litter and always ensure your car tyres are suitably inflated"
Rastamouse "just say no"
Mike the Knight "Only use fire or sharp implements under the supervision of a grown up"
Granny Murray "noe remember, do as your parents say and ye cannae go wrong"

Well, it just annoys me beyond belief that the end song contains the rhyme:

Not sure about vegetables or knickers but she did a very handy episode about drinking milk which ended a 12 month milk strike in our house!

Actually she did one about toilet training which was useful for DS

Anything which makes patenting easier is a blessing.
