When do kids start to get some common sense savvy?

[VoluptuaGoodshag]

I'm fed up explaining what seems like the bleeding obvious constantly. DD is 4 and DS is almost 3. For example ..

Why when I'm about to open the door, they stand right in front of it, knowing it opens inwards, so I have to tell them to move back a bit

Why do they not avoid puddles of pee on the floor when I'm trying to mop it up

Why do they insist on something immediately, even after I've said, wait just a wee minute because I'm putting this burning hot roasting tin back in the oven and if I stop now it will fall on the floor, spattering hot fat all over you. "Wah but I want milk mummy". Yes dear, and I've said you can have it IN A MINUTE"

oooooh not for years and years VG, if yours are only 3 and 4

Bugger [sigh]

lol i remember reading a childhood book where it actually listed at what age children got sense. it said something like 0-2 have no sense. 3 have 20% sense etc.

try and remember what it was called it was very funny.

My Dh is 46 , still waiting ....

You have reminded me of my friend's story about having severe morning sickness with her second DC, and having to point out to her 3.5yr old that No, she could not get him any more raisins, as she was "puking in a fucking bucket"

DD (4.8) is like this too. Sort of dreamy -Ohh what you mean me? Am I in your way?kind of thing.

CU - LOL
