To want to punch this grannie in the face

[debbie1412]

We go to a stay and play every Thursday morning, usual thing toys for 90 mins then a few songs with instruments to finish the session. Every single wk this boy a year older than my son dives in the box and pulls out the 1 accordion. My son every wk wants ago on this instrument, the boy claims it. Then drops it to run off and play else where. His nan knows how much my son wants ago on it but she holds it out of reach from my son. It's so cruel his little lip drops. I would never let my child hog a toy wk in and out. Makes my blood boil !

is it because childs granny deliberately holds onto it refusing to pass it over and this means your child cant have it? speak to organisers say you would like your child to get a turn on accordion failing that punch her

[VinegarDrinker]

More to the point, which sadist put an accordion in an instrument box for a bunch of toddlers? It's hardly the easiest thing to make a pleasant noise with! What do they even do with it, surely the average 2 year old can't coordinate pushing buttons down and pulling the bellows as necessary to get a note out?

Give them things to shake or hit instead.

YANBU! Ask her for it and if she makes excuses, then go ahead, punch her!!!

Why don't you just cook a delicious Sunday roast?
Shop till you droop.
Relax by the pool?

I'm confused as to why you would just let the other woman hold it out of reach of your son week in, week out.

Surely you would just ask for it? SURELY?! Highly unlikely she'd say no to another adult - she wouldn't be saying no to me no matter how steely her granny gaze.

Life lesson for your son - if you want something you ASK for it, you don't lip wobble.... You should be demonstrating this to him, particularly in this instance.

Steal the accordion and take it home. Take a photo of it in bed with you and she's not looking put the photo in her bag.

LTA!

[Mrs3chins]

Wowzers if this situation is the only stress you have in your life then I envy you. On the other hand it sounds like you need anger management.

[fuckadoodlepoopoo]

I'd buy him the best accordion ever!

[TuftyFinch]

Accordions will be banned in Europe from 2015 so maybe she's just enjoying it while she can.

[NigellasGuest]

try to spark your son's interest in alternative instruments, for example the bassoon.

[CoolaSchmoola]

*Nigellas" "for example the bassoon" just caused me to snort with such force that I did myself a mischief.

[fuckadoodlepoopoo]

Banned?!

[TheVermiciousKnid]

Not quite correct, Tufty. Accordion playing will be banned in places with ruths, they are still allowed outside.c

[TheVermiciousKnid]

But only if you add a random c at the end.c

[TuftyFinch]

Yes, Knid, you can play an accordian with the ruth of your mouth but you can't buy or sell them. A bit like tortoises.

[NoelHeadbands]

Bwahaha @ take a photo of it in bed with ou

[IsabelleRinging]

Why are you posting then Mrs3chins if you have so many more important things to stress about?

I would teach your baby to bash the granny.

[TheVermiciousKnid]

That makes sense. :)

[NoelHeadbands]

You also won't be allowed to call it an accordion unless it was actually made within a three mile radius of Accordia

[TheVermiciousKnid]

Shame about the tortoises though. :( And they're so good at playing accordion.c

[TuftyFinch]

That's allaways been true though hasn't it? Ones outside of the 3 miles are just called pulley blowers.

My middle child went through a phase of having to play with the Little Tykes car at play group. He'd run to it, get in it, and then after he got bored, he'd leave it... but always kept an eye on it so that he could defend it from any other kids.

It was embarrassing. I would haul him away kicking and screaming.
