AIBU to ban my 2yr old grandson?

I have always made game's of cleaning when I look after the Gc, dusting, polishing (full aerosol), vacuuming and kitchen cupboard fronts, mopping kitchen floor. Hehe!
If you don't want your little cleaning person, you can send him to me Riverwalk!

My DD ( at 2 or 3yrs) popped the fuscha buds on her grandads prized fuscha. He was not very happy, but was still welcome in his garden

Oh funny you should say that Cherry I remember my son and his little friend bringing a handful of buds in the house saying "look what we have found in Mr Smith's front garden mummy........popping flowers" Yikes.

My 4 year old GS wanted to know why my house is full of old stuff!

Yes ban him indefinitely !!

Because he’s only going to mess things up more, he’ll learn to talk, and run around and want ........gasp.......crayons or paints !!

Save him a lifetime of grief !!

Ps.....all of the above was meant sarcastically !

!!

Either a total ban or get him to a psychiatrist for assessment immediately. To have developed this level of obsessive behaviour by 2 is very worrying indeed. Or never clean and leve it to him to do it all for you

I think it's rather sweet!

A friend visited with her small child and handed me a bunch of autumn crocus. "Oh thank you" I said "how beautiful, we have them in our garden too".
"Had" she replied.

He's only two? Then he's an ideal size to pop up your chimney and give it a good sweep, as winter (hopefully) corms to an end!

Ok on reflection of all the advice I have received here, I think SueDonim is the post that will be most useful going forward ;) Yes it will good to find a use for the little chap :D

OK I get it.....but methinks we need an 'irony' Smiley, some folks are just to subtle for me.

Readymeals

Sadly, I don't think any of my GC are domesticated. They take after me.

Ban him from yours and send him round to mine Can’t wait

Your phrase '...to make me feel like an inadequate housekeeper' made me wonder if this is a serious post. He's 2 years old: get a grip!

I think the post is tongue in cheek. Wouldn't it be lovely to have a little helper though.
I get garden help when our DGC come over. Watering cans are heavy but we have little ones for them. The favourite passtime is filling flowerpots and seed trays with potting compost from a big sack.
Sowing seeds and making labels.
Weeding is too skilled and hard.
Any other suggestions welcome?

I'd train him to use all your cleaning equipment properly, and then hire him out. You could clean up make a fortune!

In the meantime, this may bring a smile

Definitely encourage him (what's not to like?) But be very careful. When my GS was about this age I gave him my little furniture polishing mop and he very sweetly went round dusting everywhere.

In the car on the way home he had a mild asthma attack.

Cue Granny suffering lifelong excruciating guilt. ?

(I think the dust must have been in the mop, not around my house!)

We used to take our granddaughter to our caravan for holidays when she was little and she would always want a damp cloth to wipe everything down. I have lovely pictures of her doing it. That is the farthest thing from her mind now in her own flat!!

I asssumed it was a tongue in cheek post.

If only we had a tongue in cheek icon!

lol well...a few days ago my GS (age) said he didnt like me, I was not nice etc etc (cos I told him he couldn't have something)!

Anyway a day or so later DD rings me and tell me GS is making and "Electric chair"!! worst was to come!! it was for GRANDMA! yikes! He was wrapping selotape round the dining room chair (used the full roll)

I though Oh heck Ive really upset him this time..but the Electric chair !!! I said to DD does he mean theeee electric chair? I thought what on earth has he been watching as we know 4 yrs olds are well beyond their years.I thought naghhhhhhhhh it must be an electric chair as in with remote controls that goes up and down but nope! wasn't that lol it was "A Stair Lift! lol thank goodness for that I was sooooooo relieved lol.

Wouldn't it have been so much easier to say - just kidding- or a wry emoticon ?

Oh ha ha.
Wondering whether grandparents who don’t ever see their grandchildren for whatever reason were amused?
