These are just some of the thing I have heard myself saying to my two year old recently....



"Stop licking me"


"NO we don't draw on our tummies"


"NO we don't draw on the floor!"


"NO WE DON"T PAINT ON THE WALLS" (ok this one was shouted)


"No don't eat that it's been stuck there for over a....oh well, never mind, I'm sure it's ok"


"No mummy didn't do a 'poo poo'. It was a fart. But thanks for telling everyone."


"baby doesn't want to eat your breadsticks."


"Stop walking on the table"


"No you DON'T poo on the floor"


"Do not pick it up"


"Give it to daddy"


"Why are you carrying around a tea cup with batteries in?"


"Why is there sand in the oven?"


"No you cannot stroke the bumble bee"


"Take the slug out of your mouth"


"GET OFF my tomatoes"


"Do not tip that bowl over your head.....Do not eat those out of your hair...Do not wipe that into your face"


"Please don't sit on the baby. She doesn't like it"

My son is a crawling and mastering walking TERROR. So far today already we've had:


'NO, hands OUT of the fireplace' (soot, ick)

'NO NO NO, DO NOT EAT THE SOIL'

'Hands out of the poopy nappy, please'

'Please don't lick the TV, sweetie...'


His favourite one is to eat his porridge, nosedive at me for a breastfeed and then blow porridgy rasberries on my top, if I'm not quick enough about getting 'the goods' out.

"don't lick the pavement" and "don't lick the cat's bottom" are two things I never thought I'd have to say, along with such handed-down-the-generational classics as "Are you listening?" (in self-righteous tone), "what did I just tell you?" (ditto), and the one I try to stay away from but sometimes pops out - especially because we're in the WHY phase - "Because I said so".


Ho hum.

"NO, don't smack the flatscreen TV with your toy"

"NO, don't smack nan nan"

"NO, don't smack mummy"

"NO, don't smack your cousins"

"NO, stop biting"

"NO, no biting the wires"

"NO, no grabbing the shower cord"

"NO, don't pull the curtain"

"NO, don't lunge off the bed, feet first"

"NO, don't put that in the toilet"


All I keep saying is "NO" and all he does is laugh at me. I am bewildered that all my charges were SO much better behaved than my little cheeky monkey.

The worst conversation today (with nearly 2 year old daughter):


Me: Why is your nappy off?


Her: Wanna poo...


Me: Ok, lets go to the potty


Her: No, DUNNA poo


Me: WHERE??! (bearing im mind she is not yet potty trained)


Her: Uppydairs (upstairs)


Me: Frantic searching and sniffing round upstairs bedrooms/bathrooms. I finally found said log in......the washing basket in her brother's bedroom (quite handily if you come to think about it). Contemplated whether I could just chuck it in the washer but decided removal was best option.


My life is officially GRIM. Where did the glamorous me go?

"It's 3 in the morning, please stop pulling my hair"

"It's 3.30 in the morning and mummy and daddy have to work tomorrow please play quietly over there if you must play"

"It's nearly 4am, why are you still death bombing me?"

"Please go to sleep sweetheart, mummy can't play right now"

"Oh My Goodness how are you still awake and Happy????"

    • https://www.standard.co.uk/news/crime/police-hunt-attack-south-london-b1247389.html Apologies if already posted on here - did look, couldn't find anything... 'The Metropolitan Police have appealed for help to find a man after a woman was seriously injured in an unprovoked attack in south London. The woman, in her 20s, was assaulted on Lordship Lane in East Dulwich at around 4.45pm on Monday August 25. She was treated by paramedics for injuries to her face and her jaw was broken in the attack. The victim was then taken to hospital and she continues to be supported by specialist officers. Officers are now searching for the suspect and are urging members of the public to come forward if they have information. He is described as a black man in his 30s or 40s with balding hair. He was wearing dark clothing during the attack. He is said to have approached the woman while she was by herself before swearing at her and then hitting her in the face. Detective constable Charlotte Kerr, who is leading the investigation, said: “We are working hard to find the person we believe is responsible for this senseless and unprovoked attack. “While we continue our enquiries, we hope our increased neighbourhood police presence will offer some reassurance to women and girls throughout the local area. “If you saw anything on Monday, 25 August – particularly between the junction of Lordship Lane and Chesterfield Grove at around 16:45hrs - do not hesitate to get in touch with us. “No matter how small you think your information is, it may be the key that unlocks our investigation.” Any witnesses or anyone who can help identify the suspect is asked to please contact the Met via 101, quoting 5018/25AUG or 01/7897951/25. Those who wish to share information anonymously can contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.'
    • We live a little further down, on Pymers Mead. Traffic is terrible (always has been, but worse since the introduction of the Southwark LTNs). It's mainly the school drop -- traffic is noticeably lighter once the private schools break up  Have a few friends who live on that side of CR backing on to the train line. None has had any major complaints and the gardens on that stretch are fairly long, so you're not right on the line. Some have kids who go to Charter North -- its catchment defintely extends to Croxted Road. Other state secondaries nearby are Elmgreen and, of course, Kingsdale, although that doesn't have a catchment -- pure lottery
