**TMI?** Embarrassing and gross habit I need to break ASAP...

:redface: nose picking...
:redface: it's gross and embarrassing to admit, but I do it (only in private!) quite a bit. I need to break this habit before DS picks it up. I have no idea where to start. I hate the feeling of dried boogers in my nose, what else can you do when blowing doesn't work?

How do I do this? Is it as difficult as I'm imagining it will be?
I've tried just not doing it but it seems it's not that easy. I need to do it, it's like an addiction. If there's a booger there it MUST be picked...

:help: :redface:

ETA- please know I'm not a disgusting/ dirty person! I find this as foul as the next person but cannot seem to stop. :redface:

*shifty whistling* :redface:

if the only reason you want to stop is because your worried DS will copy then dont worry he will do it anyways :lol: if you do it in private i cant see a problem...now if you where walking down the street doing it thats a whole different story

Please, tell me you put a tissue over your finger and wrap up the booger to dispose of it??????

You don't..... eat it....... do you????:o

My DS likes to pick, I tell him it's ok as long as he uses a tissue. And I tell him to get the job done and get out of there, it's a nose not a playground.

lol I had to post a reply caues you've totally made me giggle. Firstly I think kids will pick their nose regardless and secondly it would be great for you to use a tissue or hanki all the time that way your DS will see that often and hopefully you wont have a challenge getting him to use one when he has a cold or boogers up there KWIM, it's actually a good thing that you will have an opportunity to teach him cause it'll be much nicer than him picking his nose and eating it or wiping it on his sleave!

:rofl: no no eating here. I wash my hands or use a tissue.

The problem is that he's already started copying me a bit, he hasn't worked out the up his own nose part yet but will try to stick his finger up my nose or touch the end of his. Lol it's kinda cute in a gross way.

I'm a bit worried about when he starts to talk and someone asks him where he got that from and he says "Mummy does it" :o

I'm soo glad some people have seen the funny side, makes me feel a little better.

when i was little my uncle who had a missing finger told me when he was younger he was picking his nose and his finger got stuck so the doctors had to chop of his finger and use a corkscrew to get his finger out :o I never picked my nose again :rofl:

:rofl::rofl:

Heather, remind me not to sit next to you at the BB Gold Coast Dinner in July :rofl: hahaha!! ;)

Aww but then I cant wipe my boogers on you. :lol: I promise to wash my hands at least 3 times between last pick and arriving at the restaurant. :p
