PTWM #76 Jesus, Mary and Joseph and the wee donkey, braces are off but her teeth are wonky

[FridaK]

The most worrying thing to me in those videos is that Edie is talking, can she not see that Wilby does not say one word, not even a go when his parents are swinging him by the arms!
I say this as a parent with a child who had a speech and Language disorder and did not speak more than 5 words at 5!

I just don’t think he’s a very expressive child to be fair. She said the other day that she was discussing with Josh how Wibble hadn’t interacted with anyone else but them and I think that explains it quite well. He’s the youngest of 6. Tullilah and Seb need a lot of attention, Edie is in and out to her Dads but has an extroverts character, so is quite a presence. Issac is quiet and Betsy is doing her best with him. His parents are both egocentric and communicate at the kids rather than with them.

I’m not surprised he doesn’t bother trying

Congratulations! I hope your other half is spoon feeding you - he should do it for the next year or so. You can’t be expected to use a knife and fork in your condition

Best take locks of bathroom doors so your baby has access to the toilet for sensory play. Leave a few firelighters scattered around oh and stock up on chocolate cake and wotsits ready for weaning.

I have stocked up on fire lighters to use as dummies. Glad she reposted edie drawing on the dog as I need to make sure my dog is available for this.
We were planning a baby moon but may change this to Centre Parcs.....not sure I can go through with an affair.
We are currently converting the loft so we can sleep In there and the baby can sleep downstairs - think that’s right.
Also just to check, for those of you lovely tattlers with little and big ones - what age did you move your children into a shed in the garden? Seeing mixed messages.

Totally agree with this - in R’s defence (never thought that would happen) he has been in lockdown - regardless of rule breaking. I think this is quite common for babies / little ones developing in that environment.

I need your help Tattlers - Monday was my birthday and a work colleague has bought me a gift set with chocolates and a bottle of Prosecco ("fizzy cat's piss"). Except I don't drink, so should I drink it anyway and film myself complaining about drinking something that I don't want to drink, just for the sake of my 17 followers on Instagram?

Ffs silly cow calling him naughty. He’s stood in an empty lounge with a tv for company, I don’t blame him for spitting water everywhere, it’s the only stimulation he had.

I’ve got to be honest, as soon as the baby comes home just whack them in the shed, they’ll be less inconvenience for you. Maybe ask a sibling to Chuck a four pinter of milk through the door on a morning. Also, make sure you’re stocked up on really tit wine so you can tell everyone how you don’t like the taste while necking it!

 

[DeathToCovid]

I was going to say, you’re never too young to be shoved in the shed

 

[Shouldbedoingjobs]

Sorry to go off topic, but why do we all have Mexican hats today?

Personally i think they are a bit bad taste and reek of cultural appropriation! A bit like wearing a trad Chinese hat and long moustache for Chinese New Year (which should actually be known as Lunar New Year) My Mexican friends find it quite offensive

 

[BettyCat20]

He's definitely spat that juice out because he's bored. Not even 1 toy on that floor for him!

Chill Karen, it’s just a bit of fun

Between us we could write a parenting book. ‘Parenting for lazy thick twats’
I think it would be a best seller with all R’s huns.

I’d say yes, but did the colleague not write you a note saying how they love you like the most ever, in your handwriting?

Well there were leprechaun hats on St Patrick's day and I'm Irish but didn't get offended.
So many people didn't even know that Cinco De Mayo was a thing now they do thanks to the hats.
Btw I wish I had some connection to it. It seems like a great day with lots of yummy food

 

[Sheffers92]

Surprise surprise, T *did* need parental permission to get her ear pierced so Betsy got her septum pierced instead .

 

[GoldenGoss18]

I’d be bored out my head spitting juice down myself if all I did all day was get shoved in front of that tv 🥱

But don't you need parental permission for a septum piercing before the age of 18?

 

[daffodilgirl]

it’s 16, i remember I went to get my lip, tongue and belly pierced at 16 I had to show them ID to prove I was 16 & they needed my mum or dad with me to sign the forms, they wouldn’t accept it over the phone as it could of been anyone of my friends, Tattoos are 18.

Noooo. You have it wrong. Did you not get the memo? It’s not about how you feel as Irish.

It’s all about someone who isn’t Irish/ Mexican/ whatever culture being rigidly offended on your behalf....... (see white, middle class, faux socialist Twitter or Mumsnet. They live to be offended .)

You're soooo right.
Now
WHO WANTS TO BE OFFENDED FOR ME

 

[Lucyinthesky88]

Personally don’t think it suits her but what’s worse is that Lula wanted a piercing so they sent her with her 16 year old sister and then she couldn’t get anything?! Rachel should either have said yes and gone with her or said no and put a stop to it. Completely ineffective parenting. Top of ear is a pain in the arse though as it hurts to sleep on for ages so she’s had a lucky escape

 

[FridaK]

(I can’t do it. I’ve got Irish and Polish grandparents. Plus, I’m only really offended by very real cultural misappropriation, not hats, what can you do )

I can’t believe that Wibble was in that bloody living room on his own with that bloody mirror not anchored to the wall. She’s a absolute prick and it’s a no from me with Betsy’s piercing
