AIBU to ban my 2yr old grandson?

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

Thanks, I learn a lot from GN

I actively encourage them to dustb?

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.

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!

Lol Badenkate :D

jalima ignore what I said about Facebook. Red herring. (totally )

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

I’ve just checked, Jalima, and no they don’t. There aren’t many, but they’re split between the “please tell me you’re joking” and the “yes of course she is” camps too. You’ve certainly got people guessing, Readymeals!

Readymeals - naughty step NOW!

ooooh Naughty steps!....now are they allowed nowadays?

Have they been consigned to history already?! I can't keep up.

I think the DGS should be put on the naughty step for upsetting granny.
Along with his dustpan and brush.

Buy him his own dustpan and brush, and maybe a duster, some rubber gloves, a lawnmower, etc. By the time he is 3 you could put your feet up!

I would really not mind what my little granddaughter chose to do when she visits our home. I love every moment that I spend with her. She isn't yet 2 and I just love watching her, hearing her chatter and playing whatever game she wants, even if it is just tipping out the contents of boxes and saying ' uh oh' and laughing! I see her about once every 10 days on average for a couple of hours at a time. Occasionally for longer if my DiL needs me to mind her for a bit - and that's mostly in her own home. I am just enjoying her in a way I felt unable to do so much with my 3 boys as they grew up.

Tallking of fluff (or 'oose' as it was called in our hoose) now that our feathered friends have nesting on their minds, we occasionally put a little tumble dryer fluff out between the slats on a patio chair.

Apologies OP, as you were everybody

Oh come on, let the little fellow enjoy his sweeping & dusting! I'm sure it'll soon wear off as he gets older! Banning him is a bit harsh don't you think??

joke joke joke joke joke joke

(The original poster is truly sorry) (I would be! )

"He comes to my house and immediately points out any bit of crumb or fluff on my floor, to make me feel like an inadequate housekeeper."

Oh ReadyMeals did you actually read your own post?... do you honestly think that a little 2 yr old..basically still a baby...would have the thought capacity to do that? Children LOVE to copy adults..give them a duster, some boxes to sort, or some water to pretend to wash up their little pots, and they'll be amused for hours...
Please don't ban your little grandson..poor little soul..and you don't know what a loss that would be to yourself too...and all totally unnecessary. ?

Read the thread toots read the thread

Readymeals shame on you, bet you fed yours kids on nothing but readymeals.

What I find really interesting is that many of the posters who are in high dudgeon don't even read the post above theirs which points out it is a joke.

I put my grandchildren on Cobweb Patrol with extra long father dusters, we have very high ceilings, and off they go all 5 of them aged between 9 and 3! Totally adorable.

Are you being serious!?

poor little soul It gets worse

~ReadyMeals he's not a Capricorn by any chance, is he?
Their nit-picking habits can infuriate others and some have a tendency to ‘know best’ and not to listen

Or Aquarius?
Being dutiful, they would never let a member of their family go without their basic requirements, but they can be strangely, even deliberately, blind to their underlying needs and real feelings.

Toots is grinning, though, aren't you Toots

Ohhh...have i got egg on my face?... ☺ ? been so busy all day. Sat down to have a catch up really didn't have the energy or time to read 9 pages of posts!... but now I shall have to shan't I...lol!..
