go away

[cheesesarnie]

what do you say to 2 year old when they tell you to go away?its when hes doing something like washing his hands and im nearby-not too close,just in same room.

ds1 does it when he wants to poo

don't take it too seriously

i just tell him it's not a nice thing to say

Ds says this occasionally. We tell him it's not a nice thing to say and it makes mummy/daddy feel sad

sometimes he's already started

picture a 2yo, slightly hunched over, looks up at you, red-faced, puts a hand up and growls in a scary-monster-type voice "go-way-mummmmmmeeeee"

ive told him its not nice.i worry because he does say it clearly!tutter do you leave him(no idea how old your ds1 is)when he askes?my ds2 is doing it when pooing too-i stand back so in not in his face!but thinking maybe he wants privacy but i cant leave a 2 year old can i?

tutter-thats exactly what hes like!!monster child on loo growling at me.wheres my calm little dude?

i do leave him, yes

normal to want privacy at this ago, i believe

age

Tutter would you lend Scooby the benefit of your nursery-settling experience here, please?

[irony]

really?is he same age?our loo is right at top of stairs,i suppose i could hide behing banisters and be in calling distance.

We have had following convo:

DD: Go away, Mummy.
Me: Why dd? Are you going to do something naughty?
DD: Yes, I am going to push the baby over.

lol

Wish DS1 (5 yo) would like privacy when he's doing a poo - DS1 thinks when he's sitting on the loo that this is a perfect time to have a conversation! He likes the company while he's taking his time over his toilet habits

i get "just be quiet, ok? stop talkin' please" with a little hand held up. usually does shut me up too

at Kathyis... Genius!

We're getting this from DS too (22 mo)
I've just been ignoring it, if it's not sensible for me to go away. But if he's not going to come to any harm, I do go away. But we have a tiny, tiny flat. So short of going onto the fire escape I can't go far.

[shame]

no, this is when he's wearing a nappy

wt - will do... (he loves nursery now [touch wood])

walkinlikeacowboy-thats what we get from ds1.
fwiw dd just goes!

thanks-i'll keep saying its not nice thing to say and try to give him privacy.i cant remember a thing with dd and ds1 so no idea if they went through this-im sure they must have!

i miss nappies-atleast then i didnt have to run him upstairs every 2 minutes because he thinks he wants to go but really just wants to look at the plastic ducks.
