How many rose pettel's do you have?

Carying a mini rose pettel. Is that supposed to mean you're pregnant?

Funnily enough I don't find that makes me any busier than usual.

Although I definitely don't think you should get your dd a pet if you don;t want one, that's how animals end up neglected.

3 and im carring 1

Just set the bloody bug free in the garden and tell your DD not to be so cruel to wildlife.

madratlady if i got a pet
it will still be hear wen mini rose pettel gets born
i am busy any way with 3 of them i no that my dds wana have a pet but i will be the 1 cleaning it up cutting it and feeding it and walking !

Weird thread, but assuming it's real....

My 5yo DD2 likes to put bugs in pots as pets.

I let her keep them for about 10 minutes and then tell her to let them go because bugs don't like being in pots and will die. Because they will.

However, banning your DD from ever having a pet because she puts bugs in pots is just weird.

If you think she's too young (you're right) or don't want the responsibility for a real pet, that's fine. You are the parent and in charge.

Perhaps you should suggest pet rocks to her?

saldar >:O

Why would you cut their pet?

Don't get fish, they take bloody hours to care for. Hamsters are eevil. Rats are nice and easy to look after. You only have to feed them once a day and clean them about once a week. Budgies appear to be fairly easy too. Cockatiels can be a bit hissy, ime.

kk im gona go to dds room and get the pot shes ill so i dont wana make her sad thou

Well come on now, massive drama, child puts insect in a pot. QUICK! TO MUMSNET! Firstly, it's bloody cruel and secondly although I like a thread about the little things in life, I cannot believe anyone needs advise from AIBU on this subject.

I'm just surprised you haven't left them on a bus or something.

I have no idea what those symbols represent when placed in that order.

Bugs are much easier than babies. Google is your friend.

Unless they are nits which to be fair, take hours to comb out.
