LOL...yeah, I remember trying to run. My dad just picked me up by my arm and swung away while my legs were spinning in the air. Never back-talked my mom again.

Kids are hyper and they sometimes lack discipline, but surely by almost 2 a child knows that throwing stuff at mommy is wrong.

Or at least they should.


Not trying to be a downer or point fingers, but as a father of a child with ADHD (And NOT just a normal hyper child) I would suggest looking up the symptoms and keeping an eye out for them. IF the child has ADHD then identifying and treating it as young as possible will make things FAR easier on the child growing up.

My daughter started showing signs around 2. She too is very large for her age. (Now 11 and 5' 4" and 110lbs) By two she had compulsive hair tugging, delayed speech development, and an obsessive desire to climb. To us it just seemed like a normal way a child develops, and the symptoms are NOT what you may think ADHD is. By age 5 she was still using short 3-5 word sentences and rarely attempted complex discussion. She had trouble paying attention and still had the same obessive/compulsive behvior.

By 5 I wanted to get her tested, but relented to my wife insistence that she would grow out of it and everything would be normal. My daughter struggled through kindergarten and 1st grade, and by 2nd grade was beginning to require special ed classes to pass. And it wasn't just school work, she struggled to make and keep friends and was often picked on and bullied.

My wife finally broke down and agreed to the ADHD testing near the end of 2nd grade, and yes, my daughter has ADHD. We got her on Concerta and the very first day she took her medicine her teacher called us to tell us what an amazing day she had. The teacher had no idea that she just started taking ADHD medicine, but the change the very first day was instantly noticeable to everyone.

She's been on the medicine for 3 years now. She's now getting almost all A's and a couple of B's in school, taking normal classes just like everyone else. Her speech is MILES above where it used to be, she's able to focus when she needs to, but she's still a kid and does all of the normal kid things. She no longer has problems making friends and it's not unusual to have kids in stores or at the park yell out a friendly "Hi" when they see her.




Again, not trying to jump the gun, just trying to make a father aware. Look up the symptoms and keep an eye out. If there is nothing wrong then fantastic.

But IF the child does start showing signs, a little knowledge and observation can make a MASSIVE difference on how that child grows up.

5 gallon bucket filled with sand, worked fine last time I did it.

Blue Notch

Can you still water it?

phiggs54

Fill it with cement to disposevof bodies

Blue Notch

Those would have to be really small bodies...

kcoTiger

pretty sure the buckets filled with cement serve as "shoes." Toss that overboard, and it will get rid of just about any size body you want to.
