Honestly, how many times can I say it in a day.....

'Do you need to go to the toilet?'
'No'
'Then stop touching your penis!'

OMG, my 3yr old is obsessed with his penis. Like, he is touching it ALLLLL day! I know they go through a bit of a phase like this but seriously, he's got a hand on it all day. It's driving me nutty!

So what have you said a million times today? And yesterday, and the day before....

"Where are you going?" and "what are you doing?" seem to be mine - She's always crawling away from me!

Also, "Just LAY DOWN so I can change your nappy!" :wall:

:hug: I am yet to discover the joys of having a little three year old boy.

Mine is 'be gentle' or 'gentle with your brother' or 'just give him some space'

Going mental actually. So I'll join you in the nuthouse!

Don't hit your brother!
Dont Bite
Sit down
Don't do that
Stop whinging
Lie still/lie down while changing nappy

Been a crazy day here so will see you in nut house!!!

3 year old boy here plays with toilet but rarely will use it!

:rofl: Boys - JJ will wake up from a nap and have a part stiffy and go "look mama my penis is BIG" Noice, thanks James. Just what I wanted to see and hear my darling.

Mine is... NO. No you can't have a banana while I serve up dinner. No you can't watch Thomas again. No we can't go to the park today. NO NO NO NO Arggghhhh.

The cat's tails are not for pulling! and as ever, No rolling on the change table!

Don't walk on the couch
close the cupboard door please
come here please
don't stand on mummys tummy (while she is trying to climb up over my shoulder)
Don't smack mummys face
PLEASE be gentle with the cat

Don't jump on the couch
Don't sit on the dog
Close the fridge
Don't play in the toilet
Finger out your nose
Give it back to your brother
Dont squeal
Get your shoes

LOL, oh trust me I have a thousand other things I say a million times a day too, but the penis thing is doing my head in! I'm surprised the boy hasn't done himself some sort of injury or given himself and infection or something...

They are amazingly resilient, I'm sure he/it will survive. It doesn't seem to be until they are all grown up (if that actually ever really happens) that they become precious and and need to be treated with kit gloves :p I've seen my DSs stretch theirs to amazing lengths with no adverse repercussions :) I had a friend who's DS used to stretch his over the toy work bench he had and then hammer it(it was a plastic hammer but still brought tears to the eyes of any male adult in the room) :lol: If anyone told him not to do it, he'd yell at them "It's my doodie I can do it!" Fair call I guess :lol:

one of mine did give himself an infection with the constant penis touching.

dont touch that - DS
dont stand up if you cant get down - DD

:rofl: okie dokie

Ours is "please be gentle" and "please listen to mummy!"

I find DS is more responsive if I tell him what I want him to do rather than what I don't. For example, if I want him to stop drawing on the table I'l say "please draw on the paper" rather than "don't draw on the table". :)

i think i need a dicta-phone sometimes so i can record what im saying a just replay it the required ten/twenty times till she listens,

i feel like a i just say her name over and over and over!!!!

today i started the day with an announcement that it was a listening day, and i would say things three times in a clear voice and if she didnt listen she would miss out on something fun! it has actually been a bit of a better day. :)

No.
Stop it.
Sit down.
Don't touch.
Leave your sister alone.
Dont do that.
Stop it
no

Repeat x 1million :wall: LOL

Oh have to add our night time routine. EVERY. FREAKING. NIGHT.

Tuck him in, kisses cuddles, turn on clock routine. Night night darling.

Then he gets up - usually only once and I have to barge in and growl and say "Do you WANT me to shut the door" He goes - NOOO DON'T SHUT THE DOOR, so I say - GO TO SLEEP and he does.
EVERY. NIGHT. SAME WORDS. SAME ROUTINE. Maybe I should record it too :rofl:

I have been saying 'Stop jumping on the couch!!' all day today, like I did the day before that and the day before that :lol:

:rofl: we have something similar - whole night time routine, then he carries on like a pork chop banging on the wall etc...I go in and say 'If I have to come in here again I am taking all your cars away!' (he takes a few to bed)...then he goes to sleep!

:rofl: I do that too with Iz, "ONE MORE TIME AND I'M TAKING YOUR PUPPY TOY AND YOU WON'T GET IT BACK" ... Works but....... ;)
