Baby Rules (for oh's little sisters)

[youngmum2b]

Hiiii..................
Alright so some of you already know about the constant battle i was having with Fobs sisters, well to hopefully help with the situation for once Lucas is here i'm writing up a set of rule that they have to follow, they ain't stupid so there should be no reason why theres a problem with them (there basic common sense rules)

If hes sleeping leave him to sleep, Do Not go to pick him up.
If hes crying when you get here, Do Not instantly start bitching at us or go n pick him up.
If the door is closed n we're in the room with baby do not bang on the door to be let in.
If the door is closed n we're downstairs do not try n get into the room, as he'd be sleeping.
Do Not give him a dummy unless you've asked us its ok.
Do Not give him a bottle unless you've asked us its ok.
Do Not ask for all your frieds to come in and see him.
Do Not ask for all your friends to hold him.
If you ask to hold him n your told no the answer is NO.
If you ask to feed him whilst i'm breastfeeding you'll be told No, so don't ask.
Do not insist that you know best.


Can any of you think of any others, bearing in mind these are for 2 very demanding kids that have no respect for anyone but themselves.

Ohh if you don't agree with any of them then don't bitch or create a hoohar out of it.

Maybe put something like if the rules are not followed you will stop them holding baby at all for x amout of time, to make them reaslise you mean it, and there in consiquencies if thye cant follow what you want?

Out of curiosity how old are they? They sound like gits. Id also have a punishment rule, eg any rule broken you cant hold for a week or something xxx

I thought of putting something like that in aswell but the eldest of the 2 will go against them just to see the out come thus making me into the bad guy, so i'm just guna say that rules are there for a reason n let Fob deal with them if they don't listen as theres nothing anyone can say about their brother punishing them + they listen to him more then they do their own mother.

They seem fair enough

Does seem fairly common sense but I know what some kids are like lol

I would definatly do some kind of punishment system if they're not followed though... otherwise they could just end up meaningless

how old is this child can i ask? surely they understand things that simple for a baby. even my 7 year old brother would..

 

[rubixcyoob.]

I too am wondering how old they are? Unless they were extremely young they just seem to be ignorant of common sense if they'd break those rules :S

I would have a 'punishment' for them though i.e. if you break this rule you cannot hold the baby for x amount of time. That's just using your baby as a weapon against them. If they break a rule I would tell your FOB and let him deal with it.

They are 13 n 10, I know some of you are guna say well there just kids n children will be children, but then children should have respect for their parents n elders, n these 2 don't.
They don't listen to anybody except there nan + grandad (as they live with them), other then them they are more then happy to go against everything u ask them to do, the 13 year old (sharney) constantly swears calling everyone a c*** n many other words i'm sure u don't want me to put up, n the 10 year old (cheyenne) is taking after her at the moment shes not as bad she just stomps off, runs off if outside or throws a hissy fit making herself cry cos she hasnt gotten her own way, but shes starting to become very much the same as her elder sister as she don't listen to her mother either.

 

[rubixcyoob.]

No I wouldn't. At that age if they cannot follow those rules I'd say they are arrogant and if they did not know such things regarding a child - especially ay 13 - they are pretty ignroant of common sense.

How about an overall, "Remember, this is OUR baby and what we say goes." Or something to that effect?

Sorry you have to deal with their nonsense. OH's brother was like this when we still lived with them. What a nightmare.

Not to pick the baby at all, if the ask and are allowed a cuddle the baby will be passed to them.
When holding the baby they are to be sat down AT ALL TIMES. (espeically the 10 year old. My sisters are 9 and 14, they 9 year old isn't allowed to walk around with Liam but the 14 year old is.)
When baby is a bit older, I'd also tell them not to give them ANY food unless you have said they can!

i agree, they shouldn't come to the baby, the baby will come to them. also good thinking with the sitting down thing!
i think as he will be your baby, what you say will have to go whether they like it or not, if they keep kicking up a fuss, maybe just keep baby clear of them for a while, don't have your house as the visiting area, go to theirs. until they learn respect for you and your baby?
