to wish that we would be given more notice

[lissieloo]

For opposite day!

DS springs it on me every bloody time, usually when I tell him its time to come off the wii. Or when I tell him that he needs to eat all of his potatoes.

AIBU to think that a weeks notice is just good manners!

Haha my dss does this too...I think a month should be given and it should be scheduled on my calendar so I can go out and leave dp to deal with it

??

Oh yes, a month would be even better. It could be like the full moon, every 28 days. And not start halfway through the day.

Halfway through? Mine normally starts when I tell him no to the computer or he needs to eat his dinner/do his homework...funnily enough it never lasts long

Oh yes, they do change the rules a fair bit. We could write a charter.

Opposite day will only occur every 28 days.

Opposite day will commence at 7am and end at 8pm.

Opposite day does not apply to homework.

Wikipedia tells me what this is and that is usually on January 25th!

Ah, but is it really? If its opposite day, does that mean that it isn't?

lissie
Does not apply to eating dinner
Does not apply to saying please and thank you
Adults have the final say

25th Jan...once a year sounds a lot better!

Good point lissie maybe we could nominate Feb 29th, by time next one comes round they might have outgrown it

oooh, those are good. I also like the Feb 29th idea.

How old is your kiddy

He's 8, yours?

He will be 10 in 2 weeks so sorry to say even with a Feb 29th approach you still have one to go lol

ah, feck

My son does this too, especially when he has to have a shower/turn off the tv or xbox.

Drives me insane at times with the opposite day chopping and changing

See being the evil step mum I can just ban it full stop!

Dad's favorite statement is "if it was opposite day" and my answer is always "i am so glad its not" discussion ended

Dss not dad sorry, autocorrect on my phone

Happy opposite day, y'all!

Today it started at 9.30, and I am having to watch what I say.

A lot.
