AIBU to ban my 2yr old grandson?

Lol Badenkate :D

Oh Readymeals it's the gift that keeps on giving! Thank you so much, you've really cheered me up. By the way, can I pass on my 40 year old son to someone? He went through all my cupboards picking out everything that had gone past its 'best by' date. Didn't like to tell him he'd grown up eating stuff like that!

If I click on the link on the GN daily highlights, it takes me to straight to the beginning of the whole thread, where I can read all the posts. ?
Perhaps it's different on mobile devices. .
I appreciate some posters don't have time to read all the posts, when there are dozens of them, but commenting without reading all the posts can cause misunderstandings and sometimes upset to the OP.

I actively encourage them to dustb?

Ah, so do the FB posts appear on here too?

Thanks, I learn a lot from GN

jlima I think on Facebook they only give a couple of lines from the original post.

Haven't laughed and despaired so much, in equal measure, for ages.

I must admit I read the OP out to DH just now and he thought it was serious. My face is still like this - . What is this creature who’s replaced the man I’ve known for 46 years? Body snatcher alert!

How can you contribute to a thread and not realise it is a thread?

Small children like to copy what parents are doing. It is is called learning skills by playing.
The main problem is you will find the 2 yr old is so busy playing, you will have to get the toddler away from playing while the adult puts up with their yells of No "Me do it."

Some people are saying that people should read the full thread , well if you onlybget the Gransnet highlights every day then you aren’t aware that there is a thread , so perhaps the original poster should make clear to everyone that it is tongue in cheek. And thanks for everyone jumping on us , the people who didn’t realise it was a thread. Given some of the comments I read on here it wouldn’t surprise me at all if it had been a serious post !!

I've had 7 grandchildren,they all do that !!Better eyes than us,I always thought it was adorable.

A 2 year old playing with a brush makes you feel like an inadequate housekeeper? Cut contact now and spear him a continous sulking and aggrieved grandparent.

Ban a 2 year old and you might never see him again!!! He’s 2 years old and his mum might be seriously offended!!! I wouldn’t blame her. My GS is 3 and loves to stand on a step and wash dishes, pots pans, and the rest!! He loves it. It’s a child thing!!

I’ll borrow him if I may! I am a great believer in child labour, especially whilst I am having coffee and cake!!!!!

Hilarious
The OP (obviously a pee take on some other threads we've had recently) and the outraged replies.

Yes or a LOL which is laugh out loud

It could be said that the original post was a little bit unfair. Perhaps made some posters feel silly. I think a wink would have been good.

Ban your 2 year Grandson for picking up fluff¡?...is there more going on that you aren't facing up to?This us really quite sad :-(

Pps didn't want to read ALL replies. Prefer to vacuum ....,

Think Ive missed the post explaining it was a joke post!
Thank goodness for that ?

Why don't posters read the whole thread? How many times now has it been stated that this is tongue in cheek?

[sigh]
