Oh The Weather Outside Is Frightful, But The LIGHTer Ladies Are So Delightful!

[Mouseface]

And since we've no place to go...........

Let's stay here for a while instead!!

Hello, tis me, Mouseface.

I am currently mainlining cheddar cheese and Baileys but need to lose some weight. You can see where I'm going wrong, right?

Come meet the others.........

i read that as stroking the boiler and was a bit concerned.

yeah, he actually had a cheese and juice too.

might get some sort of takeaway tonight can't really get shopping in as i'm off on thursday morning so a good takeaway would see me through tonight and tomorrow.

'heavy handed' is a nice way of putting it - what did he say about it dubs?

Hey Mittz

Makes sense Satan, no point in getting a load of fresh food in?

Must be tough realising DS has been bullying Double.
As the parent of 2 DC's that have been bullied you always hope the parents will deal with it positively.

Chicken pasta meal sounds gorgeous Mouse. I might try that

Sometimes DC's need to just graze Satan. Are you feeling better?

double - so definitey bullying rather than bossy then? well done for taking a firm stand.

mousey - good news that nemo has no temp, as presumably that mean no infections.

I fancy a takeaway, but dinner is going to be dust quorn mince chilli....

she's a good parent, she'll deal with it

hope you are well mittz

could just be bossy - as in being the bolshy one telling everyone what to do. may have a lord complex going on.

Well, heating grant man didn't show and hasn't called.

Deep, deep joy.

That's crap Mouse.... is the weather bad where you are? Not that that excuses not calling.

It's snowing and has been all day on and off but still, no call is what fucks me off.

That's just rude.

I am sure you will Double. Victims don't distinguish do they? Especially as kids.
Good that it can be sorted though. School sounds on the ball.

I think there can be an important difference between bossy and bullying. I had some bossy friends as a kid, I don't remember it upsetting me - but I do remember clear as day some of the horrible things bullies said to me. Then again maybe that's why I've always been easy prey to bullies, as I seem too generally amenable

just woke up me an' evil have been snoozing on sofa.

still snowing here.

yay miitz! I'm going to retire on that cheque I tell ya (once I've added 5 noughts to the end)

dubs - nightmare. bright - good, bossy - not good. DD has similar reports, not bullying just not understanding that others have free will. Its very difficult to explain to her that just because you 'should' do x,y,z, if her friends aren't doing x,y,z then she doesn't need to tell them off, its none of her business. Depending on what it is. See complicated. Teacher says she is a born teacher

Good that Dubs acknowledged it as bullying though. Esp if it is directed at the quieter kids. I was bullied also, chronically,

I love a snooze on the sofa with the DC's even now. Anytime really. I am a snoozeaholic.

just sold another doll, yay! only got 2 left now.

Double, you are always starving.

i've ordered a bit of an epic takeaway. it will be our dinner tonight, my lunch tomorrow and our dinner tomorrow.

will be too busy fretting and packing and trying to get some euros from the PO to feel like cooking.

is it bullying dubs or is he just being bossy though? DD has never been described as bullying, only 'teacher like' and 'bossy'.

I was bullied badly at school and that was a concerted everyday thing by a group that could never be mixed up with 'bossy' seriously.

Either way, cool for dealing with it. I've been reading the bossy cockerel to dd, she goes 'Mum-eeeeeeeeee' when I get it our

No just that to a child they can't separate or distinguish the difference between being bullied from someone being being bossy and pushy. When it is essentially making them unhappy.

We are having home made chips and sausage

What did you order Satan?

I read that as home made Sausages and was really impressed!

I think there is a difference between bossy and bullying. With bullying it's a genuine attempt to belittle or make the victim feel unhappy.

With Bossy it's trying to get others to bend to their will.

My sister is the most laid back person ever and always had bossy friends, I was quite a bossy child and always had laid back friends, that's just a group dynamic surely?

overly bossyness I see more as a social skills issue - whereas bullying I would see as a behavioural issue. obviously if another child is upset then yes, it's important to clamp down.

yep. always important to protect children from being bullied.

doesn't sound like that's what this is though.
