    Bloody kids...

    Freya is sat here in tears because the little girls she plays with are being horrible to her. I told her to go say 'I dont want to play with you either' and she said 'no, it will hurt their feelings' but I tried to tell her they dont care about hurting hers!

    Im going to kick some little kid a$$. No one makes my daughter cry....
    Bunny!....put the child down now, walk away slowly.
    Now tell Freya to remember this day.........and use it against the other girl at a later date:D
    :D:D stay wonky :D:D

    I'll never forget Freya throwing up like the kid in The Exorcist in the restaurant in Debenhams. I was sooooo embarassed...

    Because she was being derivative?

    I always end up with all the street's kids playing in our garden because we have lots of play equipment.
    I love the feeling of power when I can evict one of the little !!!!!!.
    I know that sometimes they don't want to play with our kids, they just want to play in the garden.

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    more annoying than that is when toys reappear cos the scuzzy neighbours kids "borrowed" them and forgot next time they came round...:mad:

    DS was just telling me about a friend who might be moving back here because of "the credit crunch"... can you imagine nine year olds discussing such things? he did have quite a good handle on it so newsround must be quite good!:D
