I used to manage a nursery school and mum’s (it was generally the mums) would come in with a list of toddler-aged woes and used to look at me in a horrified way when I used to say, “enjoy this phase - they get worse..” to the explain my then 15 year old was not coming in on time and was smoking...at least when they are little, although exhausting, you know they are home and safe ?

Oh don't.... Now I'm depressed as well as exhausted

@CaptainBarnicles - you’ll be fine - we all survive it and when I look back (mine are 33, 31 and 22 -spot the oops!) I never remember the rough bits just the times that made me smile or feel proud xx Going through it with grandchildren now - now that IS exhausting...?

True, time goes so quick doesn't it? They grow so fast it's scary!

Oh, it doesn't have to be as bad as all that. We found it got a lot easier after the toddler years were past. The key is teaching them two things while they are small enough to control: 1. They are loved, valued, and safe, and 2. They are NOT the ones in charge. Once you convince them of those two things, it's usually pretty smooth sailing.

WOW!!! Do you like the new title or no?

Yes and no... I was never a fish expert to begin with, but I’m definitely not a fish guru.

@Colin_T is really the only guy in here that deserves the Guru I title.

There are a few on here that I think are worthy of the title. But sorry, PK, I don't think you can be a guru unless you're at least old enough to grow facial hair.

Getting slow in your old age old man?
