Same with bad behavior. If the consequence is unpleasant but good behavior is rewarded, they catch on pretty quick.
I need to stop now...LOL I'm starting to sound like SUPER NANNY *add echo effect*

Burn them when their bad. 
I'll make a good Daddy
No seriously I did get your point, but it takes weeks to wean bad behaviour out of them, constant negative feedback. What I can't understand, is HTF they ever let the kids get to that stage. I mean one was biting, another was spitting. Errrrr, no, first time they do that, do they not reprimand them? Do they just laugh and say oh thats just little so-and so having a tantrum?
I'm not a parent, so I'm setting myself up for a beating here, but, how does a kid get to the stage it thinks it can get away with, spitting or biting its mummy (or daddy)?

Don't be frightened of having kids from this, most just drive you to drink, not to your grave

LOL This thread has given me a really good laugh today!
I have NO CLUE how parents let their children get to that point. I know I wouldn't (and the few snags I did have were minor and short-lived.)
Scary to think that children are growing up like that (the ones without the benefit of Super Nanny.)
As for the speech impediment thing, that very well may be. It could be her accent though or just a taught mispronunciation. At least it amuses people. Being Canadian, I've been teased all my life (until just recently when the aussie accent took over) about saying "aboot." I'm fine and I'm sure she will be too.

Although I've been told that laughing at Jojo's accent is very naughty (and I'm pretty sure it isn't a speech impedement - I know heaps of people who talk like her!)

It's just your 666th post. LOL
Thats the third I've noticed in the past week
Is this a trend?
Sign of the times?

Makes you realise how unused to English accents you've become since being in Australia. They sound so weird.

Re: That is disPICABLE!!! Not acceptaBALL!!
Well here I am in North wales, via Mkeynes, and for the first time in my life, I couldn't understand about 3 people serving behind the counter at a fish and chip shop last night, My ears have adjusted to the Aussie way of listening boy it was confusing....
Still I did get what I/we ordered, so they understood me.
Anyone know where I can get a Aussie/welsh translation book ta
more later.
Boy britain has changed for the better !!! Will Illucidate more on that when the relies stop coming in masses bearing greetings etc.
