I have been ignoring the spitting but it makes her do it even more, she trys so hard to get a rise out of me!
She bit me once, she got into so much trouble that she has never attempted it again. But she does pinch.....

Oh, she's gonna be a good cat fighter...already into the pinchin' and spittin'

Friend's son was a biter. We once saw him lean over and bite the dog. Dog looked at him like...WTH?!?!? His mom cured him by biting him back once, had horrible guilt over it, but he didn't bite her anymore....just Aunt Deb....cause she didn't bite back

Gave him that dog look though

I'm kidding 'bout the spitting. But be forewarned...you will use the word d-mn once and she will seize on it. She may not try it out in public til you're at church though

Or at a really nice restaurant with all of the grandparents.. UGH.

My sister saw Back to the Future when she was 3 and walked around saying "Holy sh#@" for well over a month! As for me, when I was 2 I told everyone that my daddy worked at Kmart... I even called the operator to tell her that my daddy worked at Kmart. I don't know why I thought that he worked there, he worked as an architect at the time.... guess I had to do something, my parents were not giving me any cuss words to use!

Deb is right! I swear like a sailor out on leave but I never curse in front of my kids but on day me and my daughter were on the bus stop waiting for her bus and one went by and it wasn't hers. She threw her hands up in the air and said what the He@#! I had to turn around because I wanted to crack up but she's so innocent she didn't even know she cursed. My son told me the other day that maybe I should clean all the crap out of my car!

I should have a talk with daddy maybe!

Oh your daughter was like mine. She used it and always appropriately too....didn't just throw it in willy nilly. SIL babysat once....said later...ya know C says d-mn...first time she thought she'd heard her wrong....then they were leaving the house, SIL asked her what was taking so long? Darling daughter's reply "my d-mn shoe fell off". Cleared up any doubts.

I am short and throw things in the top of my cabinets intead of getting a step stool. Threw a bag of sugar (I should've been a quarterback) in the top cabinet, it falls back out onto the stove. DD looks at me and says..."say d-mnit, momma". Told her "oh, sweetie we only say that if the bag had burst open".

Not really, but I tried my hardest not to say it around her.

how she learned this but she loves it. Sometimes she will take a huge bite of her food just so she can spit it out all over the place. It is not confined to eating, she spits when ever the mood strikes her!
How did my sweet little girl

turn into a spitting machine

?!?!?!
Anyone got any advice on how to stop her... I'll try anything!
She spit at a lady in Target today, let's just say the lady was not amused!

HELP!!!!

I think I need to take a break from YT. I'm reading this and asking myself how the heck does a yorkie spit??????? It took me a few responses to catch on. Yeah, I think I need a vacation.

Tiggerwit · 03-10-2006, 09:47 PM

I'm with Villette (not laughing)

My initial response was spank the crap out 'em. But that's more then likely not the best solution. My daughter once did something at the mall and I made her stand in the a corner between 2 stores. She was great for the rest of the day.

My youngest used to bite. I crammed a bar of soap in her mouth and she never did it again.

Not saying these were the best or smartest solutions but at the time it worked.

Kids need manuals.

Laura · 03-11-2006, 06:41 AM

As I read all this it reminds me that my second son used to bite my upper arm at that age (I think I blocked it out). If I were holding him and talking to someone, it was as if he were bored and wanted me to himself, he would just take a tiny bite of that fleshy part. There is no way to -not react- to that! OUCH!

I even quizzed his doctor. He said 'my sister works for child services, therefore I can not tell you to spank him.'; 'However, you need to 'shock' him.' I didn't know what he meant by that, I decided he meant to spank him. Since I was holding him, I started giving him a quick smack on the big part of his theigh. It did stop him, or he grew out of it around that time. I was always very calculated whenever I spanked my children, the very few times I did; Never swat randomly at a child.

The problem with getting a manual for the kiddos is its a little like buying manuals for our cars....There are hundreds and they all have different parts/solutions to problems etc... only the manuals for kids have no Titles or Descriptions on the front cover...so you never really know which one to get...until that hindsight thing kicks in....

It also sounded like Deb4Air thought it was a Yorkie
Anyhow between ALL of you, I can't stop laughing....... Lama
and she's right, did all of you ever see a Lama spit, it's horrible
When I witnessed it, I was glad the windshield of the car was between us!

I did that soap thing once to my oldest daughter. As luck would have it, she was allergic. I ran to the E.R. with her all swollen and full of hives. What a jerk I felt like

heather_lathrop · 03-11-2006, 08:47 PM

as a mother of three boys I agree, that if you make an issue of it, she will keep doing it. If you ignore it, she will get tired of it and find a new hobbie!

Oh no!!! sorry. I've tried the ignore thing, my kids just think it's a green light to keep doing it.

Pattie · 03-12-2006, 03:51 PM

No little ones left here, except Chloe (the precious one ha ha) and she can do whatever she wants

Anyway back when.... When the ignore thing (thing1) didn't work, and I made it clear I was just so disappointed (thing2) BUT when that didn't work, I used pepper (thing3), (because of Jennifer's reaction to soap) that works I promise you

I can't remember too many problems with them, maybe because it was so long ago ha ha, but for the most part they listened well, I don't even remember the terrible 2's. I remember the biting and spitting and I remember when the 2 oldest two would argue over toys or something trivial - it would drive me up the wall. Solution to that was easy (both in one room, tape recorder loaded with a 30 min tape, tell each other why you love each other until the tape runs out, then come out of the room - they'd be giggling within 10 minutes and the pepper was only used I think twice on the oldest. To this day (she is 26) she puts no pepper on her food. The younger 2 never did what she tried. (maybe they knew the pepper would come) Anyway pepper can't make them get hives or any type of reaction and it sure doesn't taste good by the 1/4 tsp, even when they rinse their mouth, the taste lingers
