How stubborn is your 2 year old? And yes it IS a competition

OK I 'll go first

Ds2 was asleep in his pushchair in his room as usual at nap time. Me and dh went out for a drive, DS1, 5, and MIL at home.
When we arrive home, we hear ds2 howling from his bedroom and MIL tells us he has been in there for 15 minutes, soaked to his socks in his own wee, refusing offers of help from his brother and his granny to get changed and come out of the room. What a stubborn little tyke.

Who's next?

Look. Just give me a prize for putting up with the postman pat plates and tomato rice cakes. That's all I ask. Ok beg. plead.

arfishymeau · 27/05/2006 14:03

Actually am doubly prepared to step down in favour of Marne's DD.

Can I say now that my DD wouldn't stay in the same room as her granny? I call it a sixth sense personally

my 2 year-old was so stubborn that he would rather be in severe pain, and pouring with blood, rather than let anybody 'comfort' hom, administer calpol or a plaster. Bad news he is now 5.5 and still that stubborn. And that is just one example..
(do I qualify for the Leo Sayer keyring?)

can you throw a food related stubborness in there aswell and the Key Ring is yours ( I heard some child on Australian radio saying they thought Leo Sayer was hot the other day, I nearly crashed the car!)

fullmoonfiend · 27/05/2006 14:18

Oh Suzy, we'll be here all day if I start on the food stubborness. OK, how about 'I will not eat potato in any way, spae or form. Ever. And I mean it''. And to my knowledge, no form of potato has ever crossed his lips.

Marne · 27/05/2006 14:20

Will only eat toast if cut in circles (tubby toast)

arfishymeau · 27/05/2006 14:22

I want the Leo keyring!

It's mine. GRRRRRRR.

He's hip now. That keyring will be in paperchase for $15 by the end of the week, mark my words....

Marne · 27/05/2006 14:23

Will only eat pink smarties
Will only eat red apples(not green)
Will only drink out of her red cup.

Buh Buh Buh Baby!!

Oi SW! Enough banter. You're a chef. Fix my grill. I've been trying to grill a humble hot cross bun for the last two hours but it's only been gently warmed by the light of my oven.

There's some stupid timing/button pressing annoyance going on, but being an IT professional I've found that switching the oven off and on has not resolved my problem.

Oh fgs it's now started beeping madly and has now even turned the fan off.

fullmoonfiend · 27/05/2006 14:31

Ain't you got a couple of candles? It'd be quicker.

suzywong · 27/05/2006 14:32

can you hit it with a spatula?

arfishymeau · 27/05/2006 14:37

Bloody thing is still lights on/fan going, no grill.

I'm going back in for some more extreme button pressing.

Marne · 27/05/2006 14:38

Stamp on the hot cross bun so it fits in the toaster

suzywong · 27/05/2006 14:38

is it buttons or a dial?

OP posts:

arfishymeau · 27/05/2006 14:39

Right. I'm looking up the instructions online.

suzywong · 27/05/2006 14:39

hurl it to the floor, yell 'DON't WANT IT< YUCK"
and then refuse to eat the fresh hot one we club together to send you at great inconvenience and expense

OP posts:

arfishymeau · 27/05/2006 14:44

Stupid Smeg. Website rubbish.

arfishymeau · 27/05/2006 14:45

Oh. Sorry.

YUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUK

I don't want your nice hot cross bun that you handmade yourself with yeast and everything and kneading and doing the really hard cross thing. EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW.
