AIBU to ban my 2yr old grandson?

Mumble....You have to start as you mean to go on, being two years old is no excuse at all.

My two year old granddaughter picks up crumbs and any tiny bits of fluff on the floor. She shows me what she has proudly found and then pops it in the bin. I’m greatful that she does this. It doesn’t make me feel inadequate at all she’s only trying to be helpful.
You definitely shouldn’t ban her over something like this. She’s only two !!!

Oh I thought your post was a joke! Sorry

Sorry, Jalima. I meant the comment from Lisagran.

Oh! After the thread from Jalima after mine only two threads or so back, I find setting off a message like this as a spoof to rather offensive. I'll be very careful helping people with my thoughts in future.

Oh yes DeeWBW I didn't think of that! Could it be that my daughter is actually forcing him to do all her cleaning and punishing him if he misses a spec of dust? That could explain why he's concerned not to miss any in my house. Though I seem to have solved the problem for now. I have put a slide in my garden and all he wants to do now when he arrives is immediately run into the garden

This is the thread that just keeps on giving!

I think this is my favourite thread EVER! Thank you ReadyMeals. It's like watching the best of comedy shows.

It sounds like this is how he has to live in his own home.
Well, yes. The poor child probably has to clean his own home from top to bottom before he's allowed to go round to granny's and start cleaning hers.
They'll be sending him up the chimney next.

It was obvious from the start that this was a spoof/ lighthearted thread, (I mean, come on!
What is extra funny are all the serious replies.
Thanks ReadyMeals it’s been a blast ( and it’s not over yet.)

DeeWBW - it’s a humorous post - a joke - tongue in cheek............

I hope you didn't leave any crumbs, Cherrytree otherwise you would have had Readymeals's grandson after you.

Oops wrong thread.

Had coffee and cake in the afternoon sunshine

I'd be more concerned about what is going on in his house to think that this is acceptable behaviour. It sounds like this is how he has to live in his own home. Poor chap. Be on his side, not against him.

I caught my (then) 6 year old GD spitting over the bannisters onto the living room floor beneath. I was absolutely horrified! Turns out that her Moms new boyfriend spat a lot. Kids learn what they see, so I bought her a fluffy pink duster that she calls ‘Pinky’ and it’s now her job to dust the stair bannisters whenever she comes over. I don’t make her, she actually asks to do it. Much better than spitting imo!

He certainly is great fun!

Ok, I haven't read all of this, ReadyMeals, but I take it that this post isn't serious, and you just enjoy telling us about your gs. He sounds adorable! Have a lot of fun with him!

Isn't GN great you learn so much and have a laugh! (I never knew about Borstal either!)

My half-siblings' grandfather was a vicar and a prison padre. My mum was mortified on a busy platform at Paddington station when my sister said in a predictably loud voice 'Is it today that Grandad's going to prison?'.

I reckon that's a good way to get a carriage to yourself!

She could find ReadyMeals's Grandson very useful if he's sent there - he could do all the cleaning!

You have a daughter in Borstal.
That must make for some interesting conversations.

My daughter lives there!

I didn't realise that Borstal was named after a place!

We lived not far from the village of Borstal in Kent, where the first youth prison was set up, hence the name. It was always fun to say you were going to Borstal.
