19QOS19 Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Bang on. A firm "no" is as much about the way it's said as what is said. Believe me, she'll know that you're not happy about what she's doing. If that doesn't work, remove her from what she's doing and she will learn quickly by association exactly what "no" means. She knows what no means certainly. The wee shite was forever at the xmas tree and practically waited for the "No!" before she would move away. It doesn't really do anything when she's screaming though unfortunately. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes you just have to let them scream themselves out, I'm fortunate that the screaming makes no impact on me for a lengthy period if they are my grandkids, not lasting as long recently due to circumstances but that will pass. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RH33 Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 They are all so different. My middle one the most sensible person in this house. I rarely have to tell her off, but when I do she breaks her wee heart. The youngest one is Teflon, couldn’t give a flying f**k if she’s in trouble, it’s totally infuriating! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do that as well. Perfectly normal boundary pushing. The screaming though, you are best ignoring. As long as she's in a safe place, leave her to it. You're doing right. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my experience you could do everything correct as far any professional will tell you and still make an arse of it with one of your children. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've mentioned circumstances and I won't ask what they are but on that subject both my parents would let us cry it out they said but when it comes to the grandchild they can't stomach the sound of her crying they say [emoji38] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steelmen Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Grandchild nr 15 arrived on Christmas Eve - Grace Elizabeth, 6 lbs. All well. All siblings delighted. Will see how long that lasts for the 8 year old! Haven't seen her yet as I've been laid low with a chest infection and have been barely able to get out of bed, never mind anything else. 25 years between eldest grandchild and youngest. Congrats buddy, but it’s time you bought your kids a tv!!! 15 grandkids, that’s a lot of presents! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mum and her pal used to just ply me with Martini and if that didn’t work, a bit of brandy in the bottle would quieten me down.
