buchan30 Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 Not at the christmas table, but that happened to us when the eldest was only about 8 months old. We went out for a meal for my dads 50th, and were going to head to a surprise party for him afterwards.10 minutes before we were due to leave, the wee boy spewed all over the table. Queue a quick dash to asdas, a complete change of uniform for him and then down to the party before my dad got there. Never moved so fast in all my days 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacksgranda Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 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. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19QOS19 Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Wee one is at a screaming/screeching stage it would appear. It's driving me nuts. It physically hurts my ears so it then turns me into a crabbit git. It's clearly her getting ready for the tantrum stage as it generally occurs when we take her away from something she was doing (that she shouldn't have been!). She'll just sit and do this for a wee while. How did folk deal with this? I don't think I'll ever give in to her tantrums when the time comes. My niece used to kick off big style whem she was younger and her idiot parents* would instantly give in to her. This resulted in the wee one screaming and shouting for years anytime she never got her way as she knew it worked. At an age where they can communicate I'll find it easy but just now it's difficult as she can't be spoken to. She has a wee idea what "No" means though. Did folk just ignore even at this young age? Her screech reminds me of Jurassic Park when the baby T-Rex hatches but with added ear piercing sharpness. * Morons on in general who had a child for a fashion accessory at a young age and didn't realise there was more to it than pushing a pram. Their combined mental age is about 13 year old as well unfortunately. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wee one is 9 months and I find myself worrying about doing exactly what you say - giving in too easy to her crying and trying to comfort/satisfy her by giving her stuff to try to make her stop crying. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 How old is she? My wee one is 9 months and I find myself worrying about doing exactly what you say - giving in too easy to her crying and trying to comfort/satisfy her by giving her stuff to try to make her stop crying. She's almost 14 months. I'm not worried about giving into her as I know I won't because I've seen what happens in the long term if you give in in the short term. I'm just unsure if I should be ignoring her or saying "no"/"that's enough" etc. at this each as she doesn't really understand what that means so to her it's just me looking at her angrily and saying gibberish. At least when she's able to understand I'll be able to explain why what she is doing is wrong. (To give you an example of how used to getting her own way my niece was/how I know I won't give in to tantrums. We took her to a local parade a few years back. She had been doing something wrong and I told her if she continued she'd be going home. She continued to misbehave and I stuck by my word. She naturally flung herself to the ground and started screaming so I picked her up and started to walk home. It was about a 15 minute walk and she screamed the whole way (and continued when we got home) but I thought there is no point making 'threats' and not seeing them through. Her behaviour was ridiculous that day but the reason for it being she had learned by that point if she behaved like that her morons would give in. So tantrums won't work on me with Aila, I'm just not sure the best approach at this specific age really). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RH33 Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 I’d say ignore it, ensure she’s safe and walk away. My youngest still throws awful tantrums when she’s tired. I still ignore her but I’ve seen me walk away and sit in the close or garden. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't underestimate what a 14 month old understands, they're all different but some understand well before that age. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parenting is not easy, for a start every kid is different in loads of ways, even doing what is correct or what you think is correct isn't always the right way for a particular child, the worst mistake I made was preparing one of them too well for school, unfortunately closed-mindedness, over eagerness,ego or some other shit had me thinking I was doing what was best for him, I was wrong big style. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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...
