AIBU to ban my 2yr old grandson?

let the little guy get on with it. He will grow up too soon.
I was always fussy about my house but now that I have 4 grandkids aged 5 and under I wouldnt be without tge mess including little finger prints on glass doors.

* Jalima1108*. I find your answer unbelievable! Clearly people don’t understand child development v well if they think a 2 yr old is capable of being considerate to the degree. Is he supposed to be telepathic!At 2 yrs old they are still egocentric and this is PERFECTLY NORMAL! Goodness I haven’t been lucky enough to have children and grandchildren,^

Oh my goodness Coco - read the thread!

He's not my DGS either - so you have obviously not taken in the OP's username either

If your reply wasn't so utterly rude then I would consider it hilarious.

Readymeals - it gets worse (or better)

Have all the people at the back of the queue when the humour gene was handed out stomped off?
Obviously not Maggiemaybe - look at the reply that I just got from Coco

I tend to retain all fluff and dust in case anyone falls. They don't get hurt in my house!

Love it Kim!
However, if they bounce around on the furniture too much they do disturb a lot more dust

send round Readymeals's DGS pronto

Simple solution ...... Vacuum the carpets before he comes. I can't believe you're serious when you suggest that he makes you feel like an inadequate housekeeper.

He's 2 years old ....... Please tell us you're joking ......

[sigh]

Why don't posters read the whole thread? How many times now has it been stated that this is tongue in cheek?

Think Ive missed the post explaining it was a joke post!
Thank goodness for that ?

Pps didn't want to read ALL replies. Prefer to vacuum ....,

Ban your 2 year Grandson for picking up fluff¡?...is there more going on that you aren't facing up to?This us really quite sad :-(

It could be said that the original post was a little bit unfair. Perhaps made some posters feel silly. I think a wink would have been good.

Yes or a LOL which is laugh out loud

Hilarious
The OP (obviously a pee take on some other threads we've had recently) and the outraged replies.

I’ll borrow him if I may! I am a great believer in child labour, especially whilst I am having coffee and cake!!!!!

Ban a 2 year old and you might never see him again!!! He’s 2 years old and his mum might be seriously offended!!! I wouldn’t blame her. My GS is 3 and loves to stand on a step and wash dishes, pots pans, and the rest!! He loves it. It’s a child thing!!

A 2 year old playing with a brush makes you feel like an inadequate housekeeper? Cut contact now and spear him a continous sulking and aggrieved grandparent.

I've had 7 grandchildren,they all do that !!Better eyes than us,I always thought it was adorable.

Some people are saying that people should read the full thread , well if you onlybget the Gransnet highlights every day then you aren’t aware that there is a thread , so perhaps the original poster should make clear to everyone that it is tongue in cheek. And thanks for everyone jumping on us , the people who didn’t realise it was a thread. Given some of the comments I read on here it wouldn’t surprise me at all if it had been a serious post !!

Small children like to copy what parents are doing. It is is called learning skills by playing.
The main problem is you will find the 2 yr old is so busy playing, you will have to get the toddler away from playing while the adult puts up with their yells of No "Me do it."

How can you contribute to a thread and not realise it is a thread?

I must admit I read the OP out to DH just now and he thought it was serious. My face is still like this - . What is this creature who’s replaced the man I’ve known for 46 years? Body snatcher alert!

Haven't laughed and despaired so much, in equal measure, for ages.

jlima I think on Facebook they only give a couple of lines from the original post.
