Silverfish I have a large portrait of me on the kitchen cupboard, drawn by DGD when she was about 5. I have a round open mouth out of which there is a speech bubble saying NO. It was drawn out of love. I had had DGS, aged 2 sitting on my lap for nearly half an hour holding an axe to my throat. He was Viking and was going to kill me. I decided enough was enough and he wouldn't take no for an answer, well, he had to in the end.
I am with you mrsmopp. I have always veered towards tough love because I love my DC so much. I tried to never lay down rules unless I felt it essential but then I stuck.
Baby Reindeer - anyone watched it?
Last weekend, in Rutland, the first statue in Britain of the late Elizabeth II was unveiled.
