My son has developed a very annoying new habit - if ever I ask him to do something he doesn't want to do he only bothers to give me half a reply finishing the sentence with 'blah blah blah'. ARRRRG!
For example:
Me: "Can you put you shoes on please, we are going out."
Son: "No thanks, I am happy here blah blah blah"
Me: "Why don't you go outside and play?"
Son " No thanks, its to blah blah blah"
Me: "Time for bed/bath/clean teeth/wash hands/ etc etc
Son: "I don't want to it's blah blah blah"
To be fair I haven't helped as the first time he did it I laughed, so now he thinks he is a comedy genuis, but it isn't funny any more!
I am not sure what I am struggling with more, the emerging independent 5 year old boy or the 'I'm not wasting my breath mom' attitude.
I'd love to know how other children start to assert themselves so please leave a comment blah blah blah!
(Well you know how it works lol!)
Does he watch Humf? The grownups in that programme always say blah blah blah if they are not talking to the kids! (Did I say kids? I meant weird shaped fluffy animals - must be going mad.) -HMx
