I can't half the time anyway - dear boy number one please climb down the tree so that we can move along at a sharpish pace to stop Boy No. 2 from climbing on the neighbours car and clattering it with a small metal object he has just found. Just doesn't happen.Dorset Dispatcheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10457466586411004146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1648390704444086161.post-81534833893966878002009-11-01T07:41:05.093-08:002009-11-01T07:41:05.093-08:00Loving the 'munting moustache' line - best...Loving the 'munting moustache' line - best quote of my day! I wonder if part of the difference is that in England, people expect you to be firm with your children. Not that they want you to yell at them and call them 'little f******S!' as a mother (at least, I assume she was their mother) did in the supermarket I was in a couple of hours ago, but there's the feeling that you've got to be cruel to be kind, etc etc, spare the rod spoil the child, if a child had spoken like that in my day, blah blah. And I wonder if the Spanish public lactation is all about being able to get 'em out in the warmth, rather than the Arctic cold of Britain??!!angelsandurchinsbloghttp://www.angelsandurchins.co.uk/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1648390704444086161.post-88939121852433504542009-10-22T15:57:38.049-07:002009-10-22T15:57:38.049-07:00This made me laugh so hard as we are raising our k...This made me laugh so hard as we are raising our kids the British way that has adapted to the Amercian lifestyle too. When in a restaurant my kids were messing around & I said "if you do not stop I will beat you black & blue" a saying that is common in Manchester UK. The woman across from us stopped & glared at us in horror & then picked up her cell phone...I was expecting the services in any minute to take the kids....hmm tempting thought! <br />Love & miss the european open lifestyle!Daffodillyhttp://britishdaffodilly.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1648390704444086161.post-36383079677102844632009-10-19T17:52:13.548-07:002009-10-19T17:52:13.548-07:00You're right - the negative stuff goes on behi...You're right - the negative stuff goes on behind closed doors. A friend of mine (who you never see without a smile on her face) told me about a recent losing-everything-on-the-computer incident caused by her daughter. Admittedly she was ashamed at how much she had "lost it" but the things she told me she shouted at the child ("I hate you"), I just couldn't believe. <br />I have found though, that reducing your voice to a whisper, (as sinister as possible) not only makes them have to be quiet to listen to you, but is far more threatening to them than any shouting.

Sometimes it takes a while to come up with the really good stuff!)Expat mumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17798190669591053390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1648390704444086161.post-78533360952045545912009-10-15T19:45:49.276-07:002009-10-15T19:45:49.276-07:00I totally agree with every word NVG and I too fail...I totally agree with every word NVG and I too fail at the smile sweetly through the hurricane.

It's so true that it just isn't done in the US - and increasingly in the UK, too, it is frowned upon. But I just can't smile sweetly at the boys when they are behaving like demons, I need to let them know I'm cross, and blow off some steam at the same time. <br /><br />I like the sound of Spanish Mummy - particularly the boobs hanging out while admonishing her kids. If I had a baby in addition to the Littleboys, I'd probably be doing the same....nappy valley girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10788949037047084412noreply@blogger.com
