      The same thing will happen over and over again when your DDs go to Childcare \\ Kindergarten and Primary School. From time to time, kids will mimic each other's rowdy behaviour for fun.
      True true. I'm constantly telling my son what his friend say is not right/not correct etc. Can die....I don't know why his best friend must be the resident Beng with a few older Brothers....can pengz.

      To me, constant reminders & explanations what is desirable behaviour and what is not, are necessary. Perhaps that's how parents become so naggy. 😞
      Yup yup. theoretically if they know this is undesired behaviour, they may not want to exhibit such if they want pp to like them. I think for girls easier...for boys, like mine, they will imitate just to irritate the hell out of me.

          Imagine my toddler gal has now learnt to spit on the floor from her friends. I have been telling her not to, it is bad and illegal to spit on the floor. Sometimes she listens sometimes she would do it just to irk me. Bad things are so easily picked up…I ever asked her why don’t you pick up the good traits from your friends instead of all the bad ones…She never answered me.

            My nephew was using ‘f*’ word with my boy when he was younger too…

            I don’t scold him, I just repeat what he told my son loudly and take my boy away…
            Avoid contact and nag nag nag away…bo bian

              When my DS repeated the spitting and rolling eye, he kena 'red ang pow' and has never done it again up to now.. in my presence that is.

              It a slap, but not those that send one flying against wall hor...

              Juz me $0.02 😉

                    Thanks all,


                    Haiyah... Must really accept the fact. 😢

                    Both my family and my DH family say I very fierce one. All my naughty nieces or nephews have been :spank: by me. I'm very thick-skinned, not scared to shoot parents especially when they come over my house. But this nephew ah... :stupid: :stupid: :stupid: parents are more thick-skinned than me :frustrated. I :nunchuk: him infront of his parents and they didn't even bat an eye. Feel like :pokeeye: Relatives rarely invite their family to outings and all the other nieces and nephew avoid playing with him. Yes, he is that bad!

                    Okay, must accept fact that I am going to be a naggy mum. Repetition is the key to instilling good behaviour. I don't know what to expect when they go to CC this June.

                    :?: :?: :?:

                        because there's no carrot. nor stick.

                        besides just telling, nagging, etc, I think parents need to discipline their kids when they do something undesirable/ unacceptable.
                        so what if they picked it up from some1? they're the ones who decide to follow the actions.

                        I applaud what auntieM did.
