Moos, I wish I knew. I did an internet search and opinion seems to be that he is probably in need of some corrective manipulation.


LuLuToo, I know in this country parents are appallingly lax, but where I come from we make sure we are involved in our children's upbringing. It's not unusual for young people of six months to be able to bake their own bread rolls for breakfast. I was appalled when I came here to find most of the young people of this age are still slopping down the wallpaper paste that you call porridge.

Oh well, as long as you asked the internet - you'll be able to go to bed with the reassurance that you've received a balanced, informed and entirely nutjobfree response that you can rely on to help you raise your child.


And surely corrective manipulation is just posh for wiping his bottom?

I'm not going to bed until he's changed that nappy, Moos. I've explained to him that there will be no Baby Mozart Maths Relaxation CDs unless he first fills, and then changes, his nappy. I'm prepared to sit here until he obeys.


Corrective manipulation, as everyone where I come from knows, is the art of manipulating the nerves that pass through the kneecaps to affect brain signals. In this case I am going to enhance obedience by manipulating the left patella anti-clockwise.

Woof - That will come later. At the moment I am allowing him to micturate unimpeded by the need to collect, refrigerate and then drink it.


My thinking is that I will gradually introduce urine into his diet from about 4 months - this is in accordance with the development of his upper molars, and will stimulate a healthy root canal growth.

Ted, I'm not a parent so feel free to shoot down my interjection in a ball of flames. Otherwise deflate your chest and take my adolescent wisdom on board.


"When should I change my baby's nappy?"


"Before or after he's done a poo?"



From a practical and pragmatic point of view I'd choose to un-wrap him post dump. This is merely because you can't always predict when your child is going to insulate their shite hammock. If however you and the childs mother are at a crossroads concerning a nappy changing routine then approach an adult who has been through the rigmorale of sniffing an infants arse every time the windows steam up.



"He's been diagnosed privately as a gifted baby and I'm trying to teach him to change his own nappy."



Although thought provoking, this statement can only be recieved in two ways.


1) You're a Guardian reading show off who's using his childs bewilderment as some sort of warped attempt at getting your child into one of those bizarre channel 4 productions that keep popping up all the time such as 'I'm in primary school and have breat implants.'


2) You genuinely want to challenge your childs mind. This is an honourable direction to take Ted and he may indeed go on to take his maths A-level or Baccalaureate in International relations at the age of 9 but all too often these rare successes of parental encouragement go on to become either international businessmen who wet the bed into their forties or media obbsessed X-factor fodder who end up doing hardcore porn well into their seventies.



The choice is yours Ted.



All the best.

The choice is yours Ted.


Wolf, the choice will be the child's, as I have explained to him. Parents in my country give the young people options, and they are allowed to exercise their own free will in choosing the correct ones.


I seriously doubt this young person will be sitting formal exams such as you have described. This kind of education inculcates limited thinking, of a sort you have just amply demonstrated. He will be self-educated, once we have equipped him with the tools to do so.


Still no poo, btw.

    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge". 
    • Can’t imagine what it must be like you have your doorbell rung harshly.
