The Parenting Wall of Shame...

[christy]

Cai, I use the smelly finger trick on Matilda now after hearing your brilliant way of dealing with lies. It works a charm!

Paris' finger smells REALLY bad if she's told a lie. Strangely though she won't let me smell it sometimes...

OOO I am so going to use this one Excellent

love this thread

We've been giving DD teething relief before bed the last week or so and the other night DS wanted "medicine" too and when we said no he chucked a massive tanty so DP went out to the kitchen and put in a medicine cup a couple of drops of cordial in water & DS bought it.

Definately a Wall of Shame though is when DP was a kid his Dad would tell him that if he didn't toughen up he'd have to have spoonfuls of cement for breakfast

My DD is a bit young but I heard a hillarious one the other day; I was out for a walk and I saw this woman pushing a pram and her older toddler was putting her fingers in the prongs of the wheel, so the mum goes "Don't put your fingers in there, they'll get caught and snap off!" I didn't know how to react at the time but looking back, it was rather hillarious!

DD was having a tanty at a resturant the other night and a security guard just happened to be walking past. So I made the most of it and told DD that if she didn't behave the security man would have to take her away. She stopped long enough to look at him and he told her that he would leave her alone today and so she kept on with her tanty!!! Then we saw him pick up a little girl (who was lost and her poor mother was frantic in another room) so I siezed THAT moment and told DD it was because the little girl had been naughty. She behaved then

My mum and dad got my brother and I a good one when we were young. We were fighting in the back of the car and wouldn't stop no matter how much she yelled at us, so she pulled over and told us to get out and then took off. She only went around the corner but it frightened the life out of us. For a long time we were very well behaved in the car lol.
