To think that this is bullying behaviour and that it is not big, funny or clever to bully a 2 year old?

While I was upstairs this morning, dh came up to me, and told me that ds had been demanding raisins. Dh had wanted him to say please, so had held the raisins over his head and made him dance for them.

Dh seemed to think this was hilarious and is still laughing about it now, 2 hours later. I am quite cross, and think that there are better ways of getting ds to say please, and that withholding something ds really wants and being mean about it is not the best way to teach a toddler manners.

AIBU and overly precious? I seem to be getting very defensive of ds lately, possibly due to keerrrrr-azy pg hormones.

Hi. I sometimes have this with my Mum, A text or phoncall on my mobile to phone her 'immediately' over something silly like... "have I asked you to buy me a Taste the Difference chicken from Asda" ..

I admit the stroppiness in me makes her wait till I'm ready to call... I dont think she realises I'm not phoning 'immediately' but makes me feel better
