    MFD: As I said "I'm not saying your wrong/I'm right or anything"

    I only got rid off the dining table last month, not that it matters.

    I tell the boys;
    Chairs are for sitting on,
    Tables for sitting at,
    You stand on the floor.

    That is the rule in our house you can do what you like in yours.:)
    The very best is sometimes what nature gives us for free.

    But why? Maybe we best agree to disagree. I will continue to let my son climb on the table if he wants to draw and you will not have a dining table so it won't matter :p


    You used words such as 'unacceptable' Sami - perhaps you should choose your words better if you really think I am allowed to do what I want in my own house.

    Bu66er, I'm sorry I mentioned my monkey on the table now! I'm sure J and L did the same, and they don't do it anymore! And her being on the table to jump isn't really a problem if I'm there, but sometimes I need a wee and don't want her climbing then.

    On a funny note, L came home from gym and showed us the latest moves/balances. V got up on the little table, stood on one leg, and said clearly, "tadaaar".

    OMG - you are missing the biggest trick in the book!! Benjamin will leave ANYTHING alone if I say 'Mummy is going for a wee, are you coming?'

    He puts everything down, gets off anything and follows me, closing all the doors as he comes, and by the time he has made it through I have usually finished and I say 'mummy is going to wash her hands, are you coming?' (no sink in our utility) so we go back through to the kitchen and everything is fine :D

    I quite like to pee in peace! I went for one earlier and had L knocking on the door for something important! OH commented when we came back, and I said I don't think I've had a pee in peace since 1997!

  • Jamie lifts his leg at any climbable apparatus then looks around to see if I'm watching :D. That, or I hear Poppy shouting 'get down brother!' :rotfl:

    Who was it after the Andrex puppy points? I have codes from two 9 packs if you still need them.

    We have group toilet visits here and I get a round of applause from my little people when I wee! :o

    I'm not going to argue with you about my use of words.

    The best way I can explain it is its just not the done thing. That is how I was brought up so its just in there :p

    If I ever have the good fortune to be in a toilet cubicle with you SB I will endeavour to remember that you like appreciation for your efforts ;) :T:T
