    You think parents have time to keep watch on everything their children do. :D
    Should the IP
    a) be banned, if the house has tennants?
    b) still be banned of the house is sold, or gets different tennants?
    c) be banned if the IP is a shared hotspot?
    a] It's been blown out of proportion as any suggestion was at the tail end of every other avenue having been exhausted and it was only an item for discussion
    b] With dynamic IPs from hosts being the norm, once a PC's turned off a couple of hours/days it'll pick up a new IP next time
    c] a USB dongle or new provider will get a new IP address in any case

    So, it can't be done in any case.

    Ah underwear shopping...when I am being partcularly evil, I take my boys on excursions to the ladies underwear shops and proceed to embarrass them completely by holding up all different kinds of underwear and asking what they think.

    They are as good as gold whenever I threaten them with that excursion.

    Oh apart from my youngest one who will actively go around the shop picking out bras and knickers for me...even scarier is the fact that he gets it just right!
    We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.

    Sounds like my dad... he was sent for a single bag of sugar, and came back with a full grocery shop except for the sugar. Poor 'un. After making this kind of mistake several dozen times, he wasn't sent shopping again. I think that might have been his plan.

    If they were smart, they'd try them on and prance round the store, and that would end that particular mode of punishment.

    Ex hubby did that all the time...it was most frustrating.

    Can someone elaborate on the dodgy pm thingy?
    I knew NDG was on the receiving end of a very nasty campaign but I thought that was a one off.

    Undies shopping... I hate shopping.

    In Matalan, Peacocks, Supermarket, spot a pack of 5-7 things, in black, size 8-10, about £4-5. In the basket. Job done.

    For bras ... one new M&S one a year. Apart from that, random strappy ones in Matalan, Peacocks, Supermarket ... IF I think there's a 1:1000 chance anybody will ever see it or care. Last bought any about 3-4 years ago.
