If only life was that easy....

[Marne]

ok, i stepped over to NT mumsnet and started reading this, i think my dd's are well behaved given the fact that they have ASD but most of these things my dd's cant do, such as 'not get down from the table until everyone has finished' and 'not whinge or mummble'.

Sorry for moaning but it just made me feel a little .

Tbh I saw the original thread title and knew I wanted to avoid it. This one is making me LOL .

I'm not sure if I have any behavioural rules left for my kids any longer. These are some that I wish they took more notice of:

No throwing hard things.
No hurting your brothers.
No hurting other people.
No sitting or lying on the pavement.
No licking the windows or poles on the bus.
No touching other people's babies.
No sticking your hands in your bum.
No sitting on your brother's face unless you have pants on.

Two that (amazingly) they remember more often than not are:
Don't open the front door until mummy or daddy tells you to.
Wait for mummy before you cross any roads, or at the corner (this is for the way to school).

Don't take all your books off the shelf and throw them on ground.

Don't pour your milk on the table/carpet to see how it looks.

Don't take one bite of food then drop it on ground.

Don't hurl yourself down the stairs when mummy is holding your hand, this dislocates mummys arm.

Don't bite the sofa.

Don't bite anything.

Don't go up to strangers and grab their legs/bottom/glasses.

Thank you everyone! I had a real out loud laugh! needed it after getting ds's pddag feedback yesterday.

our no nos are no hitting or shoving, (working on the idea of 'kind hands')

No sneaking out the back gate (not as bolted as I thought) and wandering the neighbourhood in just a t shirt, nothing else!

No sitting on daddy's face with a bare bum.

No biting (automatic sit on the stairs)

No throwing things at the new telly.

Laughing too hard to add (grin)

Bullet - love the don't strangle me , replace bite and that would do for me

ooo!! ooo!! ooo!! my turn!!!

Trousers must be worn for nursery, not just a dressing gown.
No touching poo
No licking windows (unless nobody else is looking)

No telling people to shut up.

No eating tissues.

No saying words that rhyme with fuck and then look innocent when people start looking at you a bit strangely.

No arranging the wheelie bins on a daily basis.

I did contribute but I was thinking of NT kids.

No shrieking like a banshee in quiet public places - other people do not understand that this is your only way of communicating!!

No laughing hysterically for no apparent reason,causing the rest of the family to join in,resulting in everyone around looking at us with strange looks on their faces!!

No weeing in the bath when your 10 yr old ds is in there with you!!

No sucking the dishcloth.

No wearing other members of the families dirty underwear on your head!!

I know red is your favourite colour you didn't have to pour the bottle of Tomato Ketchup out all over the dining table to show me it.

don't drink the vinegar

This thread is SO much better than the other one

My rules would be pretty much what everyone else on here has said.

lol. No breaking windows with your head is our big one :o
