My mum and five , yes FIVE, of her kids came to visit from tuesday last week through to sunday just gone.
oh.my.GOD!
Terrorists! these kids couldn't be tamed by the supernanny!!
My mum aactually left three of them here on their own for the first night and she took two of them and stayed elsewhere. i thought it would be okay as one o fthem was 13 and there to give me a hand if i needed it, and the other two were my adorable well behaved brother and sister.
Well someone must have switched these kids on me i swear.
My sister decided to start having 'accidents'. well funny, i recall toilet training her a few years back! What on earth was going on here!? Then my darling brother started to misbehave. Hold on, since when did he backchat and be rude? And who taught him the word 'idiot!"? After taking him outside and asking him why he was being so naughty he burst into tears and told me he was naughty all the time now because no one at home talks to him and stuff anymore. namely because he was my little buddy when i was at home. we did everything together. well my mum decided to move four hours away, and nobody tolerates his imaginative games anymore. poor thing. after that he was well behaved, bar the constant arguing with the 13 year old! so much for being there to help!
And then after they left my poor dh spent hours scrubbing the stains out of the carpet.
the last day was absolute unadulterated hell. declan is about 3 and screams and throws tanturms all day long, even when he is happy. mums idea of time out is sit in the corner and put your nose on the wall (of course after about half an hour of threatening the naughty corner). i sent him out the back yard so he could watch us having fun in the lounge room. he lasted 30 seconds. they weer all monsters. except my brother. he was well behaved that day. when they finally left we found our backdoor was bent, incredibly stained carpet, and one of them (Mr. 3) had pushed the cones in on our speakers!
HARRUMPH!
If you can admit your children are terrors like my mother can, think about where you are taking them, and if the person you are asking to deal with them and put their home on the line are just being polite by saying they don't mind, or if they even know what they are in for!
I thought it was just my mum coming!
in case anyone was wondering how my little chunky monkey handled lal of this: he sat on the floor blowing raspberries the whole time. Didnt hear a peep.
