I do the same as Lulu with the nappy changes, or I grab another child and do something with them - its funny how they demand to have their nappy changed when that happens
Mine is going through a clingy stage, which is getting quite frustrating, or she'll scream for no reason, she's horribly destructive and messy and I'm forever telling her NOT to do something. Today the older two were under the table drawing on the floor with a texta. Which they know they're not allowed to do, we have heaps of paper, only drawing happens on paper.
So they both got made to scrub the floor clean, and then both chucked in separate corners for doing it when they know they're not allowed to.
Terrible 2's are bad enough.. but when they are mixed with a 3 year old as well... urghhh.. frus-trayyyy-tion.
I don't tell DS when it's nappy change time, I just pick him up and take him to his room, he protests a little on the way, but at least he doesn't run away
Urgh I hear you. First time at a new playgroup and the kids are allowed everywhere but the altar, where is my DS? The bloody altar. Over and over Im telling him no. getting him down , even resorted to a smack on the thigh, but he wouldnt stop. Didnt help that the DDs were a tad panicky about the strange place if mummy wasnt right next to them (more so DD2 & 3, DD1 took 5 minutes to adjust and was off). What would have been a 5 minute walk home was closer to 20 with DS ignoring me and wandering off (imagine me wearing a ring sling with DD1 &3 crammed in it together, pushing DD2 in a stroller and trying to hurry DS along cz its so hot and btw DS wont wear his shoes but is whinging cz the road is hot )
Yeah it's awesome! She just spent time in the naughty corner. She wanted macaroni ... nagged me for it.. So I gave her the tuna macaroni left overs from last night (which she loved) gave it to her, set her up with her little chair and put on a dvd while i did some house work. For whatever reason she wasn't impressed with teh macaroni so threw the whole bowl onto the floor... yay for spending the last 15 minutes of my time scrubbing pasta & tuna out of the carpet
