To want to be able to finish just one cup of tea!!!

[LEMisdisappointed]

Without constant whining to be allowed to have some, but only when it is at the right temperature. Even then the whinging continues until the temperature is just right. Then even as I bring the bloody cup to my mouth, i am pawed and whined at until i relinquish and give up my

Does no one feel my pain??

make 2 cups

Tell them to bog off

But i would only have to hold it for him anyway while he whines and waits for the right temperature

Dog or child? Please god not husband!

My sister used to take the used teabag and put it in a second cup with a bit of boiling water, then top up with milk for her DS, or he'd just pinch hers.

I bought this and now manage to have hot tea.

It boils water to 70,80,90 or 100 degrees, so if you use it at 70 you can drink your tea pretty much immediately or if you need to wait, it has a "keep warm" function.

I love my kettle, can you tell?

I feel your pain LEM. Mine is DD waiting until I sit down to ask for something from the kitchen from whence I just came

at the thought of excessively milky tea

I make dd 6 decaffiated tea, she loves tea

yourallabunchofbastards I have a DD and DP can make his own tea

I know, its gross.. works though and you get your cup to yourself

He actually gets up on my lap and stares at me intently, shivvering and whining, im worried he is becoming a caffiene addict

Erm. Say no. Or lock yourself or him in another room

Go to work. This is the only place I am in charge of my tea drinking, although not so.much since we got Zip taps, which are not hot enough to make a decent cuppa.

Ive tried that Blackholes, even locking him in the garden but the neighbours complain about the noise!!!

Just say no and stick to no! We had this for months, we stuck to it it works!! Make DC their own appropriate drink to have if they choose to drink it and stick to NO!!! Not harsh but very fair.

Its the same at dinner time, whining for food from our plates and then if we leave the plates out he will climb onto the table and help himself - its embarrasing when we have company, they think he is half starved!
