Silly talk and farty armpits (!) from 8 y/o son : sexy willy, etc

[100KitKats]

Please advise. My son sprouts gibberish and silly stuff quite regularly: sexy-willy/poohy-bot/smelly bot. It is not directed at anyone in particular - he just sprouts it a lot of the time because it amuses him. He also habitually making farting noises under his armpits! He only does it around people he knows. He says that many of his friends do this stuff too. Its getting really tedious, esp over half term. This stuff started since he went into year 3.

It has got to the point where it is really annoying and tedious especially if I am trying to settle him to read, sleep, wash, get out, go to bed, homework, etc! It takes a while to settle him to do any sensible thing. I see it as an annoying rather than seriously unacceptable so I'm stumped about how to apply the appropriate disipline that fits the behaviour without it being too harsh. But is is affecting home study because it wears me down. I give him warnings and then small sanctions/time out but these don't work anymore, he is too cheeky and irrepressable now. Any advice please.

My 4.8yo has just started this sort of thing, and I'm sorry to say I find it quite funny . I tend to start giggling and firing things back, in fact we compete to find the most repulsive image "rotten onions" "pooey pants" "smelly old fishbits" etc

Is this not the right things to do? Oh dear

tell him h must love poo to tlak abotu ti so much

or just tell him to button it

if santions dot worka t 8 its cos you arent doign it right

tell himt o stop
and make him

spoilsports

at least he's not whistling.

I'm with Dogsby (well big surprise there)

you could try the pasta jar I suppose

Ignore? Walk away? Blank expression.

my ds2 can do really impressive armpit farts.
When he gest too tedious I tell him to stop. He always has to do it one mor time,then he moves onto something more annoying.

no i htink ignoring is pathetic

if he said cunt woudl you ignroe that too

Ignoring has some limited use. I think this is an example.

If he said cunt then one would have to take expedient and effective action. Consequences.

Is there a talking over fart noises section in httsokwlalskwt? Maybe the note idea? I like that. You are trying to read to him, he farts his pits, while singing "I like cunts, you like cunts, we all like cunts" you scribble a note teling him to quit it.

Ds (7) has come out with silly stuff at times. His favourite word at the moment is Anus. He read it in an information book on animal insides. He asked me what an anus is and I told him. He think it is a really funny word, but my attitude to it is that it is infact the correct biological word and he isnt calling people anus's, just using the correct term for the body part. If he was saying asshole he would be in trouble tho!

He has in the past said pooey pants I am sure, just non reaction - flat voice saying that isnt funny and makes you sound silly.

It sounds like your ds is doing this sillyness alot, perhaps his way of obtaining your full attention. I think remaining calm, factual about it could be a good way. If he says sexy willy ask him what that means. Get a book and go through - say it is a penis etc. hth.

lol

anus is a funny word fgs

How do you respond to your ds 6 stretching his willy upright to epic proportions and declaring "Look mam, it's like the Eifell Tower"

it is a funny word i agree, but is also correct word too so I am not going to tell him off for using it. What i was trying to say is if he referred to it as asshole i would probably get upset ..

He did say to my ex that he has a very large round thing growing out of the bvack of his legs.. with an anus in it .. Was able to stiffle snigger..

you tell him ir will fall off h if he playws wiht it

rofl Mhamai... LOL that is hilarious! Where on eiarth did he think that one up?

I've just come back from Paris, so there's a lot of Eifell parafenalia [sp?] lying about.

'snot as funny as Uranus

rofl

am slightly with Greeny on the humour aspect (but am surrounded by poo-poo willy heads) .. but also can understand that WHEN it gets irritating they MUST stop

Yes, agreed they must know when to stop - they susally do when told "that's enough". I have a special blood-freezing bone-melting Look which seems to work some of the time when reason has failed

Greeny you might not find it so funny in another four years, imagine four years of this talk you'll be hanging him out the window. Is annoying and 'naughty' that's all. Rise above it. Assume lofty position and tell him he can talk to his friends like that but not you and make sure he understands that. Isn't difficult. Remember you are very superior prudish mother and he needs to know that and behave accordingly.
Is quite normal happy stupid delinquency, just not near you, is the message.

Oh, lighten up
