    "Lose weight" is medical Tourettes...

    They all say it, and almost before you sit down. "Drink less" and "exercise more" are other ones.

    They can't help themselves, so you shouldn't judge them...

    I've more or less given up drinking, but I'm overweight and dont exercise. 2 out of 3 aint bad :D
    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:

    He's not quite 4 Gem. to be honest, we really should be watching him more. He just looks older because he's so tall....

    Will speak with my childminder and ask her if she can do some 'Stop, look and listen' stuff with him. When they are with me, in carparks etc, they are brilliant! I guess that's why I assumed he was ok...

    Well, I've had a bit of an evening...

    First, went up to DD's room and found 2 letters she's written saying how much she hates me and is going to move to 'Saf Pol' with her friend Lottie and eat fish. I was quite impressed actually with her spelling and writing skills...

    Good. Shows you're teaching them riting proper...

    And a neighbour has just been round to tell me that DS ran in front of their car today and that he's done it before AND to other neighbours. Great! So, not only is my son a menace to the people on the street, he's also risking his life! It's also nice to know everyone is probably talking about what horrible parents we are....

    No...they'll be going "There but for the Grace of God go I..."

    Good luck with that one...

    With the hedgehogs might help, my niece is four and tells everyone that the hedgehogs say "stop, look, listen".
