Well, I did refer to Mumsnet when in exasperation I said I was about to go all Mumsnet and suggest people RTFT. I supposed it can be read any way, read the full thread or read the f*g thread.
In this case, which ever interpretation I do believe its helpful to have read the full thread before commenting. It's about much more than a chunk of cucumber and expectations of three year old children.
I continue to feel despair at the cold, critical, judgemental comments by some. We had our grandchildren round today, socially distanced, patio doors, all windows wide open because of the covid thing. We haven't seen them but its mr i's big birthday so they came but not all at once, staggered in groups of 2 parents, 2 small children aged 18months 2,4 and 5. Brief excited visits. Did they behave perfectly -No. Thank goodness for that, they are totally at ease at grannie and grandad's house still, despite the fact that since March visits have been rare, and brief. I simply can't imagine being cross if one of them took an apple/orange/piece of cucumber or as today - too many biscuits out of the tin.
