And, at the time he came along, he seemed a distinct improvement on the previous boyfriend. But we have got 3 grandchildren out of it, so not all bad. In fact, all my stepdaughters seem to chose unsuitable men, imo. Like their Maw? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTChris Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 My wife met a fellow mother of a kid at our son's nursery at a play park today and they were talking (gossiping) about nursery. Our son has said he doesn't like one of the other kids there and that the boy had been nasty to him, not playing with him and telling him to go away - we just told him not to play with him and if he said something nasty just to tell him not to say it and go away and if he's bad tell a teacher, the usual. The other parent told us that this kid has been bullying, physically and verbally, her kid for years and that she eventually had to contact his parents about it as her kid was injured by him. He was verbally abusive and used "extreme swearwords". The nursery once said that our son had sworn and it was a phrase that he definitely didn't hear from us - we're pretty sure he heard it from this kid. How can a 3 or 4 year old be like this? Obviously all kids can hit and be cruel and they are all learning but it's clear that this kid has issues with it, it's been flagged several times. It seems like he's so young to be doing it as well. Thankfully he's leaving soon, he's going to school. I think he's the oldest boy in nursery and that might have something to do with it - he's the oldest, the biggest and that might mean he pushes kids around etc. I guess it's all part of growing up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When a 16 yo is a bully it's down to him. When a 3 yo is a bully it's down to the parents. That's my - not very helpful - snap judgement of the day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm, my son was a deferred year and was 5 in the September while in 3-5 room so very much the oldest and he never acted like that to other kids. The problem nurseries and schools have is all they can do is tell the parents about the behaviour, if parents do nothing at home to change the behaviours not much else nursery can do but manage it as best as they can. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 Apparently the family seem nice and were upset when the parent went to speak to them. The kid was bullying his classmate by saying he was fat, that he had no friends and that his mum and dad didn’t love him. Where does a four or five year old hear that? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a lot of parents swear by a cranial osteopath who specialises in babies. Some technique they use gets rid of colic immediately. We had a very sicky, windy 2nd child so know how you are feeling! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It broke down the milk making it easier to digest. It was £10 a bottle in 2010. You get it from the pharmacy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, Colief (which is now £12 for a tiny 7ml bottle) is what we're using together with gaviscon now. Working better than anything we've tried but still not really settling her. Infacol done f**k all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember a period of time when ours just suddenly would scream bloody murder shortly after commencing feeding, maybe at 4 or 5 months. It was not fun, as she was clearly hungry but raging at something. A guy I worked with suggested 'colactase' (think it's the same as colief) but it saved the day, massive difference after that. Trying to understand what an upset baby wants to convey is bloody difficult. Gets better, now she wakes up at 6:30am asking for chocolate. She's good at that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just makes me wonder how we became the dominant species when our newborns are such useless things. Can't process milk or wind, can't tell you what's wrong, can't even hold their heads up on their own, we're a shambles. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
