The Dogmother Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 That's a good one, perhaps I'll do that then I might suggest to Rosie that she tries to be nice to me for Lent - she's being a teenager at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 I discovered this morning where it is coming from Debs..... she never used to watch TV in the morning (or at all really), but has taken recently to watching Tracey Beaker... I popped into the living room to ask her something and there it was - exactly the same behaviour and words!!!! Needless to say, she won't be watching that again!!!!! I hate it when she's like this, but we had a chat this morning so I hope that she will snap out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 Jules used to watch Tracey Beaker, but neither of them watch much childrens telly at all now. In the mornings they do watch Roar which is an animal programme so quite 'educational', but then only long enough for them to get dressed, before going to breakfast club I have a feeling she picks it up from school/brownies, some of her friends are a little precocious. I am hoping she will grow out of it before she is a teenager Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feemcg Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 Try living with 3 daughters - 7, 14, 16 - and working with 14-16 year old girls who use the foulest language you ever heard and make it their mission every day to blag as much alcohol, cigs (and s*x!) they can get!

The Dogmother Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 That school sounds terrible Fee - I hope that our daughters are wiser than to get drawn into that sort of behaviour. Rosie sometimes watches Roar, Debs - I don't mind her watching that; it's pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mel (& Paul) Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 None Apart from 1. you need a love of chocolate / wine / chickens 2. you need an eglu bum 3. you need to go into the garden in your nightwear and wellies 4. you need to perfect the chicken dance for when you get eggs 5. you need to learn to speak loudly and clearly to your girls and have proper conversations with them - especially when your neighbours are about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dead boring actually. However...I more than make up for it with item 2, so perhaps that can cancel out my shortcomings re no 1? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
