Unfortunately, most of my suggestions would violate a whole raft of laws across multiple jurisdictions, especially since I don’t know the kid in question. Nein is generally a good starting point though 😇😈
For meltdowns, distraction to snap out of it and a soft soothing reassuring voice usually works a treat for me but I'm sure you've plenty of tricks up your sleeve too witchie.
Probably overtired.
Whiskey ?
Just keep shouting nein, that's about the extent of my German.
@thomil might give better advice!
Have you Calpol ? 😁
Anyone know how to tell a German 3 year old to shut the fup up before I kill him? Am babysitting my niece and my bro-in-law's friend is here withe his little boy. They just got back from the wedding my sis is at and the wee man is having a melt down. Am scared he will wake Poppy after I apparently performed a miracle by getting her to sleep before 8 pm.
This thread has definitely gotten its mojo back! From sausage rolls to hedge trimming to supporting each other and the level of activity in the thread.
Thank you for all your support. It really helped me a lot 🤗🤗🤗
I'd sit on the bed having a drink, the porters would have to drag me out. 🤣🤣🍷🍸🍹🍺
I'd deliberately call myself someone else for divlememt 😆
Yep 👍 !
So nice to see it back again 😊
It used to be absolutely brilliant, so funny you'd genuinely be skitting, its definitely changed hugely but I think that's typical of everything online and irl.
Anyway I'm on Spotify, still wont sign back up but will have to shortly before I lose all my marbles...I'm on a Joan Jett and Stevie Nicks vibe with a bit of Mark Knopler thrown in, interesting trio lol..probably end up with my old faithful Phil 💕😁
You've been through a lot, @thomil, I'm not surprised it's hitting you emotionally. Hopefully you'll be out of there soon. Sending you booby hugs.
Such a lovely group of people in here. Does anyone else feel this thread has finally gotten back to the vibe it used to have?
We'd be outside the window with little signs with our boardsie names on !
Delighted you had time with your friend @thomil , onwards and upwards from here on 😊
I hope you get home soon @thomil and delighted you saw a friendly face.
I wish I lived in Cork, I'd honestly call in to see you @thomil
Keep posting here and there will always be one of us online.
Great stuff thomil 👍 if anyone deserves a break at the minute it's you.
Wishing you a speedy and full recovery.
Delighted @thomil 🤗
My friend just left after a very much needed visit. It’s been a long time since I cried when I saw someone. It was really great to see her again and just talk for a while 🥹
Oh, and the iPad is charging now 😃
Mozzer's in my county?
It is. Doesn't stop me from going out in a t-shirt and shorts 🙂
In Killarny, pre- pints for Morrissey gig !
Strictly on the tv, snoodie on and snacks to hand, a wild night is happening 😄
Just home, party central here, now they did tell me that all the buddies were gathering here before a birthday party in a nearby pub, I'm wondering if they'll actually make it to the party, very high spirits atm...I really don't mind as they rarely do it but on the other hand I just want to chill out , the music is shite too...am I just a cranky oul wan.☺️😁
Since one of the last IOS updates, my IPAD has gotten very fussy about charging cables, had some great cables that have ceased to work only with the iPad. So check out cables before throwing out your charger.
Home and in snoodie and slippers, ahhh feet are relieved 😌
Twas one of the munchkins birthday party today, lovely day for it , plus nice to have all my family together in one place 😊
Nope, my friend is bringing over the new charger , so I should be sorted. But the room is just soul-destroying…
Did you manage to fix your IPAD?
I’d love to be out of here by Monday or Tuesday, especially since my new room seems like the anteroom to purgatory. All that’s missing is bars on the windows. Well, at least my friend is still coming over…
@thomil when do you hope to escape ?
