Am I being totally PFB or is this impressive for a 4 yr old?

[BlackberryLassi]

Dd finds my little electric, hand held fan earlier and is sad it's not working. I'm busy and say I'll sort it later. About 15mins later she strolls in with it working having found the batteries, dismantled the fan an put new ones in the right way. I was impressed but she's my only child and everything she does is amazing to me!! (She's only just 4 BTW)

but I had told her about the + and _ simbils ages ago

Yes it is impressive that she remembered, from ages ago that means she has a good memory.

Thanks alpaca. I'll learn my lesson one day!!

Scaryclown you must have been at uni with my sister!

Simbils ? So she didn't get her brains from you .

Seriously- someone asks whether we think her 4 yr old is bright and the thread ends up rattling on about access to poisons/bleach- can't you just answer the question without looking for something to pick at? My answer is I'm not sure because my 4 yr old does stuff like that and I don't really think about it.

What's the issue with batteries?

OP, I love it when kids start doing things independently, especially when it's something so practical. It's amazing when you realise they've been absorbing things without you even realising

I knew I'd spelt it wrong but it wouldn't auto correct so I had to leave it. I'm not a great speller.

Thanks dame it was a little proud moment.

TBD, there's a minority of MN that regardless what your kid managed to do and you even have the nerve to be proud, will tell you that their kid did it and better.

I generally like parents being proud of their children and when they learn something new it can be amazing.

but I had told her about the + and _ simbils

Well, I am impressed. She has a mum with extremely dodgy spelling and a foul mouth, but she is able to change batteries already at age 4.

😂

Sorry. I have a four year old and I'm not impressed. He could easily change the batteries in most devices not requiring screwdriver...but would ask for the batteries.

He is PFourthChild and recently impressed us by reading pretty well. He just started school today so hasn't been taught to read at all but has figured it out. Thanks mainly to YouTube and minecraft and benign neglect... 👏🏻

TBH, the TBD ended up being the unloved child between TBH and TBF.

I get it OP. It's the fact she took in what you said and thought it through. She's obviously a good learner.

scaryclown I think I had that housemate too!

Op, she sounds very resourceful.

To be fair the first response was the response of a cunt

I missed OP's post, but I do think NK's comment was cunty. She gave her opinion and so did OP. All's fair.

Lol, hope you won't be teaching her how to spell!

So it is clear that your DD picks up on things around the house very quickly. Best be mindful and make sure anything not meant for little hands is safely out of reach...

I think you might be underestimating how tech-savvy kids are these days - I'd expect either of mine to be able to do it too (3 and 6) - they know how to charge/unlock ipads, use a mouse, boot up the various consoles and get their games going (and that's memorisation for the 3 year old - he refuses to attempt to read) - you learn the stuff that's relevant to your interests.

Really sorry all but can someone please tell me what pfb stands for? I feel like a total dumb twat every time I see it! - not new to here either

We have all been guilty with our first of being over cautious or precious with our first child is the rationale behind it

I don't mind being told she's average.

She's average.

YOU CUNT!

I don't think any PFB bragging threads are ever going to go down well on AIBU.

Pretty fucking big.
