AIBU to ban my 2yr old grandson?

!!

Yes ban him indefinitely !!

Because he’s only going to mess things up more, he’ll learn to talk, and run around and want ........gasp.......crayons or paints !!

Save him a lifetime of grief !!

Ps.....all of the above was meant sarcastically !

My 4 year old GS wanted to know why my house is full of old stuff!

My DD ( at 2 or 3yrs) popped the fuscha buds on her grandads prized fuscha. He was not very happy, but was still welcome in his garden

Oh funny you should say that Cherry I remember my son and his little friend bringing a handful of buds in the house saying "look what we have found in Mr Smith's front garden mummy........popping flowers" Yikes.

I have always made game's of cleaning when I look after the Gc, dusting, polishing (full aerosol), vacuuming and kitchen cupboard fronts, mopping kitchen floor. Hehe!
If you don't want your little cleaning person, you can send him to me Riverwalk!

A ? and or a ? might have lighten the tone of the OP.

... and my comment, too ?.

No doubt it’ll be removed if my comments were considered inappropriate. ?

Gilly that is so cute.

Toddlers antics are the stuff of family legend.
And can be the source of embarrassment great mirth with at 18th, 21st weddings etc

My GS aged about 4 asked Dil if Nana was coming over. When she replied that I was, he told her she had better get the vacuum out then! Sadly he did not see himself in that role.

Riverwalk

I had a similar comment about the size of our TV set. Good job my husband keeps his trousers on !!

Lol! Yep, I didn't think of that. No contact it is!

OP - this can't really be serious? With so many Grans posting that they never get to see their GC you want to ban yours - for cleaning??!!

ReadyMeals is a regular poster.

Harness his inner Molly Maid. Set to work on the skirting board. Show him how the vacuum cleaner works. Let him wash the dishes, the floor, the car and the dog.

He might make a pigs ear of it now but imagine in a few years time what a comfort he will be to you in your twilight years.

I'd go No Contact!

When DGS was about 4 he stood in the middle of my sitting room, looked around and declared

'Grandma, your house is very small'

Well yeah, it is compared to yours but at least mine's paid for!

ffinochio......well that was my first thought but evidently one is not allowed to question posters that way.......!

Just remembering my grandson when he was about 3 or 4......
I have always fed the birds and the grandchildren love putting the nuts/seeds/dried worms on the bird table. One lovely sunny day while I was preparing lunch my grandson got his mitts on the tin of bird food and scattered a trail of it from the bird table up the garden, through the dining room doors and up the first set of stairs..... before I caught him. "What on earth are you doing?" I asked. "just seeing if the birds will follow the trail up to our bedroom grandma". I really couldn't be too upset about it, as when I told him that they are wild birds and don't like to come in doors, he trotted happily to the broom cupboard and got the dust pan and brush out and started to clean it all up, making more mess than we started with.

Not a wind up but a lovely funny thread that’s made me smile - thanks OP

My DS loved my little hand-held hoover and would happily search out bits to hoover up. Don't let him grow up thinking cleaning is a woman's job - let him get on with cleaning!

Is this a wind up? Seriously?
He 2 !

No 2 yr old ‘can make you feel like ...(fill in the blanks)... Only you can do that.

Strewth!

He doesn't need a toy set, he's happy to use the real full size things! My daughter sent me a video of him trying to clean her worktops - standing on a chair, cloth dripping with water and it all running down the cupboards.

I'm guessing your tongue is firmly in your cheek ReadyMeals.

I agree with EllanVannin, he's only two and if you ban him from your home you'll miss out on so much. Get him a toy cleaning set and save some "dirt" for him to clean; precious memories n the making!

Methinks you have a bit of a chip on your shoulder. He's two! Buy him a toy ash pan, a feather duster...even a toy 'henry' and a pinny and enjoy the game.

Ban ? A bit drastic isn't it ? Buy a little brush and shovel set and let him get on with it, taking no notice at the same time.
He's two for goodness sake !

My GD age 3 pointed out cobwebs so I gave her a colourful feather duster with an easily extendable handle and now leave the cobwebs for her. She loves it as its her special job.

My GD used to love sweeping the floor and it was treated as a game. As you say, making more mess, but I find the more fun we have the more mess we make

I totally agree with you Grannybags my grandchildren have always had a thing about cleaning. My little grandson (now 9) used to love to stand on a stepping stool with his squirty bottle and a cloth and "clean the windows" making all kinds of mess. I had the cleanest windows in the North East!
