Cally, that is a hard one. I would just keep harping on about how kids are young and have to grow into grown ups and then get old before they die and that takes 80/90 years. I believe her behavior might be what is referred to as The Feral Fours! W has just had a dose of ragbag. Clearing up a bit but he is being really rough with A and knocking her over etc when no one is looking. He also has minimal empathy and if she falls and cries he does the boost in the opposite direction!
MD and G, you will be happy with the x factor outcome! I only guessed Scary spice because she did a performance on last years x factor - those boobs are enormous and surely not real! Not sure why they showed Aussie x factor last year and the U.S one this year.
Cally, maybe she doesn't understand the difference between old and older? She's getting older, not old. And maybe introduce the notion of very VERY old = dying. Even old people live a very long time until they are very VERY old. Might help. Also, explain that when she goes to school she'll still be a child for a very long time and eventually a teenager, and then a long time after that she'll be a grown up and then a long long time after that she'll be the same age as mummy and daddy...etc. BTW I remember developing an awareness of death around that age (and possibly was a little confused about it too). We've had a bit of ratbagginess too, I think it was a ratty growth spurt thing because she's so much better now.
Arte, Scary just had a baby! Hence the boobs. She was pregnant during the auditions, then there was a gap when she had the bub, then they started the show. They had one episode where she got her husband who is something important (producer? record co exec? something very very rich) and it was the weirdest thing - they didn't look like they were on the same page at all - hard to imagine they were happily married at all. Anyway VERY happy with the outcome!
Ginger, when's L's surgery scheduled? How are you going? Your holiday house holiday sounds lovely and something beautiful to look forward to.
Thinking of putting the chrissy tree up this weekend but it's going to be a busy one so not making any promises to the kids yet.
her boobs look great don't they? i actually really like her, love that she says what she thinks. not too fond of nat though! annoying much? lol
surgery is monday. I'm keeping him home from gym and kinder today, just in case, as if he has a temp they won't do it. we've waited too long to have it pushed back again. nervous but looking forward to it being over. I've been told ill get no sleep on monday night as he'll be in a lot of pain and crying/screaming a lot
G, that was a horrible thing for someone to say! Surely if it is going to be that bad afterwards they could give him something for it, some panadol or pain stop or whatever? I hope some ice-cream and mum cuddles will be enough and it isn't too bad for him.
