My kid is 4
Its a tough year

Really?
There was nothing remotely resembling 'terrible twos' with mine, though, so I'm wondering if people mistake 'difficult year' for 'child is actually a bit of a cunt'. No offence, like.

More like 'parent is a bit of a cunt' if you ask me...

No, no-one asked you.

Its definitely her being old enough to question everything, do what she likes and push boundries

( Peej, Fri 13 Apr 2012, 16:11, Reply)

But I like that! Rather that than her being a subservient vegetable.
My ex will hate it, she wants a toy person as an accessory. I'm looking forward to the gradual realisation on my child's part that her mother is both an utter cunt and more than a little mentally unstable.

My daughter is really turning into her own person now
She questions everything and argues her point far better than she should do!

Growing up
our family evening meals were like a fucking debating society (my father ran them): the 'being a child is no excuse for a badly-argued point' nightly gauntlet set me up for life*

I do insist we all sit down at the dinner table for our evening meal
No fucking TV or toys, and that includes the kids. We have a dining room so I use it. Best 1/2 hour of the day

It's very important, I agree.
My ex does not, as she is a peasant. Kid eats on her own with the tv on.

Not happy.

On rare occasions we may have pizzas in the living room
But that is it

I was only aloud to eat my supper in front of the television when Monkey! was on.
Special dispensation was granted.

I'll allow this

Children should eat at the table.
It teaches table manners, the art of conversation and appreciation of time together as a family.

Children should also be taught not to knock up their partners so they are forced to get married.

I like it too, but its tough
Especially trying not to laugh when she smears her mothers makeup all over her face or covers herself in talc and runs in to the room screaming I'M A GHOST!
( Peej, Fri 13 Apr 2012, 16:22, Reply)

hahaha!
I take it you have seen the hairdryer talc video?
( sporters I’m sincerely gratitude to you, Fri 13 Apr 2012, 16:24, Reply)

Yup
Seriously though, she covers herself in talc upstairs in her room, and I mean covers. She then runs out of her bedroom across the landing, down the stairs, through the kitchen and in to the living room all the way covering every room she runs through with a thick layer of talc. Whilst I go to fetch the hoover my wife foolishly starts wiping the wood flooring with a wet cloth which meant when it dried covered the floor in a streaky white mess that could not be hoovered. Child thought it hilarious, I thought it hilarious, her mother needed restraining.

My mate Dave Clark posted a good pic on his Facebook
He was babysitting and instead watched some TV for about 2 mins. He popped in to check his daughter was ok to find she had covered herself and her whole room in Sudacreme

My sister in laws son did that
rubbed it all in to the carpet in a rented house. She tried everything to get it out including renting an industrial carpet cleaner. Nothing worked. In the end it would have been cheaper for her to replace the carpet and be done with it.

When 'keeping an eye' on my 4 year old cousin, many years ago
I popped to the bathroom for all of about 3 minutes and got back to discover she had painted her entire stomach blue.
