can I buy a water gun to shoot at a 1 year old

[NotYoMomma]

she had morphed into a sweaty miserable mess.

done the paddling pool a few days but im thinking park/ Garden/ Chase her with the gun and take bubbles for after.

are waterguns in the park a no no? esp if it is an adult tormenting children lol.

Get a spray bottle? Then it looks less like you're chasing a toddler with a gun, and it has the bonus of having many other functions cat scarer like helping with the ironing.

ironing. the thought of ironing in this weather just made me ill lol

but yes, spray bottle is a good idea

Go for it. We have two.

I had to iron my trousers this morning. It was hideous. I avoid the task generally but in this heat it was almost unbearable.

Nothing reasonable to contribute but pissing myself at the thought of you running around squirting your child with a water gun and all the other mums wringing their hands in horror...

I can just see it AIBU to judge the mum in the park chasing her dc witha GUN

HA! Yes!

"I don't normally like to interfere, but there's a mum in our local park who is chasing her DC with a gun. Yes, it only has water in it, yes, it's bright yellow and see-through, so no chance of it being mistaken for a real one, and yes, the DC is loving it because it's 30 outside, but, surely, that's not the example you want to set to other children, is it?! AIBU??"

Anyone remember nagging their mum to pour the Fairy Liquid into a milk bottle so you could use the plastic Fairy Liquid container as a water gun? Maybe I'm too old

Fairy liquid bottles are great 'water guns.' I'd forgotten about using those. Will start saving them!

I'd never have thought of Fairy bottles! Great idea! I'm on a save-everything-that-might-be-useful drive at the moment so I shall add Fairy bottles to the list! & go empty one right now ready for when my grouchy 20mo wakes up!

You are all far nicer than my DH. He just uses the hose!

go the full hog and get a super soaker no it is fine it is roasting hot and she will have fun,

Y Y to the fairy bottles , mum are you finished with it NO mum are finished with it NO mum.. oh fgs here have it

Yanbu at all go for it. I was chasing ds 17 months round the garden with dd super soaker he was loving it. That's te main think, the giggles and aughter that he gave.
