is ur kid playing you up

[Barwench]

Am I the only one who dont need one then?
My kids are fine, they do as they are told under punishment of death lmao
No seriously though I really dont have any problems with them at all. The most they do wrong is argue with each other and even that is'nt on a daily basis.
pmsl wow I must be doing something right.

yeh mine are like that... my 2 are 22 months aprt so its all war with each other or they gang up on me. i had my moment with oliver but new school has soon changed him back to mybaby boy, its vinnie the vandle thats gunna need one.

[Barwench]

Well mine are 15 (girl) and 14 (boy).
There might be a war when chodder moves in bringing his 2 girls with him but I doubt it, I think kids only get away with what you allow them to get away with, and I dont let mine get away with anything!!
I only give them £2 pocket money a week (and only if all their chores are done) if they need more money for something ie pictures or beach then they have to earn it or save their £2 up. Kids get it to easy these days with parents letting them have everything they want, I cant afford it so mine dont get it.

lol good 4 you... i dont get mine every thing they want, But some times its only 80% of what they need... Its all juggling with money and i have had my step son move in so we now have 4 kidz living in the house. We have a rule system, and it works, calvin is 15 and will do all sorts of work 4 his pocket money,
Hes a footie fan and whilst hes so involved with that hes staying out of trouble. i think i got it lucky, its never easy but it cud be a millions times worse.

[Barwench]

Yeah same here.
Mind you I also thinks it helps on the enviroment that my kids live in. We are in a small town, not a city, and practicly everyone knows every one, so there is no way my kids can get up to anything without me finding out, and they know this lol (poor sods)
I dont think there is the same presure here for kids to have "everything" mine are healthy, well spoken and have respect for other people and their property, and god help them if they step out of line,

lol do you live in my town lol......yeh its a small place and small minds in my town so what we see as bad standerds some times its normal in bigger places... I dont all ways like my town over much but i know its a safe ish place to bring ur kidz up in... a little bit snobby too, so its keeps them healthy.
Its me thats the wild one rrrrraorrrrrrr

I like where I live, it's very laid back....sleepy even.
It's a great place for kids to grow up in (mine would'nt survive in a city)
Sure living here the kids dont have the same sort of oppotunities as they would do in a city, but like you say what is considered bad here is the norm in cities.
