is it normal for them to be so butthurt about the naughty step? ;<
(he's nearly 4 btw)

yeah, it seems like any "punishment" brings shame and tears, regardless of the actual content.

well I dont know man
in the past, when he's acted like a little **** I've just changed the channel to the news, which tends to shut him the **** up cos he hates it
if that doesnt work, I make him watch a documentary on WWII machine guns
recently though, he's got over the 'MINE!' phase and got on to the whole cheeky thing
I have never ever ever had to use the 'naughty step' with him before, I think of it as the 'nuclear' option and he's usually an angel with me
seeing his little face curl up and cry earlier made me feel like such an absolute bastard, even though he deserved it ;<
I probably wouldnt be thinking about it if I wasnt feeling so broody atm

well he is taking after his uncle in the dress-wearing department, so thats a good thing
he's started to try to punch people when he doesnt get his way, have yours ever done that?
edit: at what point did yours start to do that ;>

my little girl does that. she is two. we have two "time out" areas, and we put her there when she gets violent or does not listen. she cries, and we explain why she was put there until she indicates that she understands (which she may or may not), and then we get back to playing with toys.

heh.
thing is with my nephew, he only sees me when I'm not at uni, so he's usually been an angel with me
he's been a lil bastard to my sister (his mum) since he hit his terrible two, but he's always been a complete star when he was with me because he hadnt worked out what would **** me off
recently though he's grown to be an arrogant bastard
couple that with the fact that my mother is trying to force him on me more often, as a way to 'subtly' suggest that I should make my fiance pregnant, its kinda a test-run to see if I'd be an alright dad
I love the little bastard but he sure as hell makes me want to beat him till he's blue somtimes

if that's how you feel, you're probably ready to be a parent.

yeah I know, I look at little girls and I'm like omgomgomgomgomgomgomgomg do want
I'm still only 22 though and I have my education to finish, but maaan its one huge hormonal imperative
I even steal my nephew now and then to take him out with my gf/fiance/w/e to go do stuff so that we have some sort of experience before we even have kids
dkjhfg I'm really broody atm ;<

well, you got some time bro. and after you eventually do get married, spend a few years with your wife to have fun, travel a bit, do stupid **** together. try to save some money in the process. then settle down.

thats what I was thinking
infact how old are you? your kids are still young, so that must put you in say, err, the early 30s?

late thirties. we waited for a long time.

fair play
the more I get to know my nephew, though, the more I want a lil girl/lil fella of my own
I'm surrounded by 18 yearolds with 3 yearold kids, so my perception is kinda warped, but I think that I'll be an ace dad
it also helps that my fiance is an 'elementary' school (although we call it 'primary') teacher and also a family support worker for the local council
I think we'd make a good team
thanks loggy

basically
instead of beating the **** out of him for trying to punch me
I pick him up and move him to the stairs
I say BAD BOY BAD BOY YOU WILL SIT ON THIS STAIR FOR A WHOLE BLOODY MINUTE AND YOU WILL THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU HAVE DONE
DO
NOT
HIT
PEOPLE
and then they just cry their eyes out
I seriously wish I'd just hit him, he was so upset ;/

although i love the brits, and they are definitely a large part of my genetic heritage, i can say with all confidence that their upper classes are largely raging flamers who have hidden legendary amounts of sexual deviancy from the public over the years, but it still inevitably leaks out in little phrases like "tea and crumpets", "i'm off to the chippie", and "go stand on the naughty step".

1. Reggs (or at least the TW version of him)
2. Gender confusion/sexual preference angst masquerading as existentialism
3. fall in love with a large, Baptist girl
4. Apparently knows how to cook
There, the gauntlet is thrown.

there once was a young boy named reggs
who wore lipstick and oft shaved his legs
he'd stuff up a bra
and go to the spa
but as a lady he sure was the dregs

thats just plainly unfair
the upper classes are just that, they're a ****ing minority
"I'm off to the chippie" is immortal because the rest of pink floyd told their orignial singer that they were just going for some tasty fish and potato-based fare as opposed to telling him that they thought he was insane
I will say though
my gf (being indian) doesnt understand the phrase:
"an english boy is judged purely on his ablility to hit a six, and take a bit of hot crumpet from behind without blubbing'
I'm sure that, as fellas, most of you will understand it
