That's nothing...
My ds1 was usually quite a happy, placid little chap but once, when he was about 3 years old, I told him he couldn't do something or other (can't even remember what now) and he threw a strop. I started to laugh at him, which was the wrong thing to do and incensed him beyond measure. He stood there, fists clenched and said, "I'm going to set you on fire and I'm not even going to call the firemens... so there!"

He's in his late 20s now and I still laugh about it. Luckily we now get on like a house on fire, so maybe his statement was prophetic!

Whilst I am no Supernanny and can readily admit to making more than my fair share of parenting mistakes, I do believe that standing firm and allowing our children to dislike us (hopefully for a very short time) when they are little is really important. I see so many parents give in to their children because they are afraid their children won't like them if they don't. However, the parents I see having a great long term relationship with their adult children are the ones who set firm boundaries which (by and large) they stuck to when their children were small.

Stand firm Nerfdad... my usual answer to my children not liking me was 'I don't like your behaviour but I always love you and I'm doing x because I care about you even when you are being rude to me.' Alternatively, when impatience got the better of me, I said something more along the lines of, "Go to your room before I lose my temper with you!":o

I'm trying:o:o
Can't I just put a pillow over him:o:eek:

Lovely to see you still posting Nenen......maybe I shouldn't bring it up as I remember that you were upset at the time but what did you eventually do about your parking ticket?

Wait until he progresses to 'I hate you' and then 'you are ruining my life' :eek: :rotfl:

How about "I hate you for ever and ever and ever", followed by a quick crying session and hugs saying "do you still love me mummy"

We take many memories from their childhood years, you especially, I just wish we could print copies of them every time because they slip away until something triggers them.

We have what looks to be a bees nest. :sad: At least I can see things fatter than wasps flying in and out under the eves.
