We could probably amend that slightly - don't leave boxes of biscuits in view full stop, unless you want to contend with a child in full tantrum mode when you tell them that their tea's almost ready so they can't have a biscuit ;)

4 . dont leave factor 30 suncream lying around in reach of 2 and a half year olds unless you want a good laugh at their expense. My little one grabbed a bottle, rubbed it all over her face, looked in the mirror, noticed she was looking like casper the ghost and started screaming. the look of shock on her face was priceless, lol. (But honestly i did feel bad after)

5. Don't go and check on your sleeping boy, leaving your twin brother, his daughter, and a tub of Sudacrem in the same room, as your brother will nod off, thus giving his daughter ample time and opportunity to cover herself in cream, eat some, and ruin your carpet...

Don't leave a two year old alone with a bottle of baby talc...and baby oil.I was only gone two minutes but it took me ages to clean up the mess.:dunce:

I used to teach parent craft lessons in a girls school.It was ok 'cos I had the numpties who were destined to be young mothers at an early age.One of my tutor group had three teenage mums by the time they were 15 so they were putting the education into practice before they forgot..

Parenting cannot be taught, what works for one will not work for the others.

Re: Do You Think Parenting Classes Should Be Compulsary?
 

I have to disagree.Anything can be taught PROVIDED the person being taught WANTS to learn or has an INCENTIVE to learn.There is no subject that cannot be taught.

Re: Do You Think Parenting Classes Should Be Compulsary?
 

well I've been told I am on more than one occasion, and I don't feel one hundred percent capable of giving him the care needed anymore. So yes I think that makes me a bad parent.

I don't feel classes would help though.

Re: Do You Think Parenting Classes Should Be Compulsary?
 

I'm sorry dilli but that is completely below the belt...talk about kicking someone when they are down...:mad: Alright you have a problem and yes maybe you cannot care for him in the same way anymore but it does not make you a bad parent.

Juggling starving rabid wolves who have really bad headaches? ;)

Blindfolded self-operated vasectomies?

Teaching Mr_love_monkey not to be lascivious?

(sorry)

Re: Do You Think Parenting Classes Should Be Compulsary?
 

Not a subject and I'm sure that they don't want to learn parenting.

It's possible but I wouldn't have thought there was much call for the procedure


Well if he had an incentive like a cattle prod but then he would take that as a challenge I'm afraid.;)

I favour sterilisation

Re: Do You Think Parenting Classes Should Be Compulsary?
 

For Mr_love_monkey?

Sounds good - dip him in boiling water for ten minutes, he won't feel like procreating for quite a while.

You did mean that sort of sterilisation, didn't you? ;)

Must have misheard when I said about needing him to prick my boil.
