The Puddle!

[DreamySleepyBonfireNighty]

Happy Bonfire Night!

I'm back! I don't get much time to post at the weekend as ds keeps trying to hijack the iPad! I have to hide it

Tee I'm sorry your having a tough time with your mum. Mine is always giving me a cats bum mouth because I haven't smacked ds. Sha always says " I would have bloody clouted you if you did THAT "
And I say "Yes and I bloody hated you for it "

I'm glad Bonkey boy had a great party. Is he any better?
Is mario behaving himself?

State I'm loving your ds' Xmas list, it's lovely. I remember when I was 4, Santa asking what I wanted for Xmas, I asked for a baby brother, called Gary . I did get a baby brother, born on Xmas day, but they didn't call him Gary or Jesus

Glad bonkeyboys on the mend! I had them too bonkey, my Mum hated it them and I remember the long drawn out sigh when I wanted her to iron one. I've a feeling it may be a gift I regret but he's asked over and over for ages.

Good to have you back shaky my two had a hilarious conversation over whether they could ask santa to sway the sex of dc3, dd thought they could as "It can't have a willy or a mary yet cuz there's no toilet in there with it, is there" ds responded "I don't know but I don't think they just stick a willy on when it comes out" luckily this was a 'private' conversation and neither me or dp were asked for answers.

People are annoying me, selling some odds and sods we don't need via facebook and people keep changing the time, one bloke we are meeting somewhere as we live opposite sides of town and he's changed 3 times, I'm fit to respond, just fuck off!

Do it State!
People should know that it is against the law to piss off a woman just before she gives birth!
I'm so excited that we are going to have another puddlebaby
Anyone else had a child that turned into a total swine on their 3rd birthday? Honest to god, we went to my mums today and he was a little shit all day. Naughty, stubborn, disobedient, sulky and hitting me! , thank god he is in nursery tomorrow. I don't know whether it's because it was his birthday last week and now it's Xmas everywhere, but he has driven me insane today. I was glad to put him to bed. He was doing lovely cutting and sticking today, I turned my back for 2 seconds to answer the door and he was trying to cut the cats whiskers off!

Shaky Wait til he hits 4!

I had a angel/textbook child until he hit the fucking fours

Yes, Ds1 became a horrible little bugger when he turned 3. It happened practically overnight - My lovely, happy, peaceful little boy woke up on his birthday a tantrumming, unreasonable screaming mess! He is starting to get better now though (3yrs 8 months), I hope to God we don't have the fucking fours!

Dreamy you describe it perfectly, he could have his own topic on here called "I am not fucking unreasonable because I want it and I want it NOW, and who the buggery bollocks do you think YOU are telling me I can't have it"

His new favourite phrase is " I want a biscuit"
Me : "that's not very polite, why?"
Ds : "cos I need it to, purrrrrlllleeeeaaaase"

I have a threenager!

Yep my ds was an angel, seriously I was so fucking smug, he hit four and the --what me and dp call 'inner bastard'-- terrible twos came and punched us upside the head, dd it was turning 3. They can be so vile, yesterday she kicked over ds' bowl with his snack in and stamped it into the rug, for NO reason seriously totally unprovoked. And the way ds looks at me, and the tone of voice I'm treated to, well there are just no words.

Kids can be bloody horrible. And everyday I say thank you to their teachers as I collect them, little do they know I'm thanking them for another day that the time they have them has prevented me from totally loosing the plot!

shaky I would do it if it wasn't the fact that getting rid of the spare sky box stops dp from wanting to wire it up to a different room each day, we have magic eye sky in our bedroom that's all we need dp

Dd is off nursery tomorrow and off to Grandmas, me and dp are going shopping I'm really looking forward to it although I'm stupidly stressed about getting everything done in time. All the little jobs I keep putting off now suddenly need doing and I spent the whole time dd was at nursery today asleep! Argh I annoy myself.

Ha, State I was smug too. Baby who slept through from 12 weeks, did everything when he was supposed too, perfect toddler etc ect....

It came back and bit me on the arse in the shape of a four yo boy

I love the phrase "inner bastard", ds actually growls at me when he is cross. His inner bastard is radidly becoming outer bastard.
And you know how George from peppy pig cries, with tears sprouting from no where, that is ds!

• peppa pig

Where is Empress?

Grr Fb is down!

Haven't seem *Empress for a few days ??

Exactly how ds was, slept perfectly from day 1, could set a clock by him, lovely toddler who entertained himself for hours, then he was four...

shaky I'm afraid I still get george pig tears from this pair, and it shows no sign of stopping and ds is 5.5yo now! And growling, yep, stomping upstairs muttering, slamming doors, having to have the last word when I tell them off. Dd also does this thing where she freezes and looks right through you, blinks and ignores what ever you just said! Ds also parrots what you say.

They are lovely children really!

I've been on fb all evening no issues, Mumsnet however is buggered for me, this is the only thread I can access in threads I'm on.

My ds has started parroting! Talk about fucking annoying.

Me: Ds don't be cheeky
Ds : Ds don't be cheeky
Me: Stop copying me, its not funny
Ds : Stop copying me its not funny
Me: Right stop it now or its bed
Ds : Right stop it now or its bed
Me :
Ds :

Fb is back.

TIO is buggered but I still have them just my most active ones are at the bottom...except this on which stayed at the top

I am seriously regretting ds' birthday presents.

1. pool table with cues, in new conservatory, lots of glass, lots of bashing, etc = pool table put away and ds banned from conservatory. (Refuses to play with pool table anywhere else)
2. bob the builder work bench, I have had to "lose" the hammer! He tried to "fix" my eyes with the screwdriver and "chop" the cat will the saw!

Bonkey when ds copies me, I just copy him right back. We have the same conversation over and over, it makes him MAD! He soon stops but then goes on to steal my glasses and try to put them in the bin

My ds doesn't do the parroting when he's in trouble, oh no, he does it when we are dealing with dd, which results in me just shouting at him to shut up and go away now, I'm done being patient and rational he is bloody 5 he knows full damn well he's being a twit and making things harder as he smirks whilst parroting me in his best imitation of my voice, the swine!

No shaky not a work bench kiss goodbye to any neatly plastered walls my ds took chunks out of nearly every one at our old house with his toy jigsaw, and the constant tapping (hammering) drove me insane, also they put on those stupid yellow hats to hammer each other...

bonkey same here this is the only thread working in TIO! Weird!

I will consult this thread to decide what to get ds for Xmas.
Any ideas for lovely, non suicide or murder inducing presents, all suggestions welcome!

Ummm, ds loves his take along thomas sets, they've not damaged anything, he can set them up himself (unlike the fecking brio) and there's no bits to loose, I think they're the only toy we have that me and dp don't want to hide... He adores his fireman hat and case of stuff from elc too although looses his fire chief badge frequently and gets most annoyed.

You've not started shopping yet? I started in june I'm aiming to finish tomorrow apart from small extra bits ill undoubtably pick up between now and then.

I managed to find a wee elf toy this week on my travels so when dd wrote letters to santa tonight (we leave them by the fire as per ds and dds instructions) I sat him on top of a photo frame with a letter from the head elf saying he'll take the letters to santa and he's left a friend to keep an eye on things and can they name him. I got them personalised letters the other day so will sneak them into the post box wednesday or thursday. Fingers crossed this helps tame some of the daft behaviour!

Morning ladies.

Lost you last night in the TIO fiasco and got sucked into Hugh Grant chat.

I realised yesterday that all the things she is saying I'm doing wrong are the things I do the opposite to the way I was raised. Go figure...

I'm at the library and have to go get LT from school so I'll catch up properly later

State you have a very good reason for starting your shopping early! I can't wait to see JesusState. I have got a few bits but really need to get my backside into gear and get sorted. Your santas letters sound lovely.

I've put the tree up today, so Xmas has officially started in ShakyTowers!

Tee Hmmmm, funny that....

I am exhausted but christmas shopping is done, apart from a few odds and ends ill no doubt pick up.

Just need to find the energy to get the laptop out and order the carseat adapters and I might be able to relax.
