Ok..I am babysitting for a friend who has an 18th month old little girl today. She has been amazing..so cute..very gentle..plays quiety...and the creamo in the coffee is..I got her to go down for a nap without any hassle at all! It's MY stinking kid that's been a little shit...loud..obnoxious...not sharing...and do you think I could get her to nap?? HELL NO! My kid is a terrorist!

Jen the polite term for your child is spirited

I use 'spirited' to describe Wil when we are out and about and people are rolling their eyes and tutting at me (happens quite often). I nicked the term from Mario. Wil, Caelyn and Niamh (Gina's little girl) are all 'spirited' and can be quite interesting to be around. Maybe Maky should join them.

pmsl a terrorist! ohh dear!

do you think they'd notice if you swapped?

I offered to do a swap..but she refused! I forgot to mention..that while I got the other little girl..who by the way came up to me for cuddles and fell asleep in my arms...my child..the "spirited" one..decides to start banging toys together and turning on the keyboard synth and start playing it..with a little wicked grin on her face!

LOl is always the way!!

lmao typical....other people's kids always seem so well behaved in comparison to your own./..but your kid goes to someone else and you hear stories about what an angel they've been...typical!

brill can oliver join you 'spirited' lot too, he's usually the one trying to dive bomb of the sofa and nicking other kids dummys out their mouthe's...infact is pinching the ps remote off leo as we speak x

Long term the other kid would bore you jen. Makys ace. She and Caelyn would have a ball on a play date. I actually didnt choose the term spirited the baby whisperer did. I just did her quiz. caelyn has consistently come up as spirited since birth

I agree with mario she would bore you I have a spirited one too and life would be boring without her!

i have a "mischievous" child well behaved children are fun too... but lifes fun when its hectic : )
