Wondering if anyone can relate to this.
Whenever we go out anywhere, shops, restaurants, park, parties ds is always pretty well behaved.
But there's a couple of family members, and if we go out for a meal somewhere they'll get ds really excited and silly by for example making fart noises, or pretending to be monsters, or telling him to say daft things, pretending they're going to eat his dinner or steal his cutlery, or hiding his colouring book, or asking him questions about school such as what's his teachers name and then when he gives a sensible answer they'll say what "Miss Smelly Bum", all of which ds finds hilarious, but then when they've had enough they expect him just to immediately sit quietly and shut up. Then get annoyed when he carries on.
I'm not saying it's a massive problem at all and I end up stepping in and saying calm down now and enough is enough. But then they'll usually do another daft little thing like tickle him and he gets mixed messages, mums telling him off and uncle/cousin is still playing.
Ds ends up getting a bit of a telling off when it was all unnecessary.
Maybe I'm just being a big grump but I think there's a time and a place to act daft with kids.
