Would you have said same thing to your son? Not judging just curious. She could easily be away in college and doing same.
Bro and Sis in law have triplets who will be two in March, all girls. Only one sleeps in her cot all night. They’ve a four yr old boy who’s the worst at night, his mum gets in his toddler bed with him every night when he wakes. Both mum and dad are wreaked.

My niece has 2 kids and Darragh the little fella has autism ,they both work full-time ( she normally part-time but withXmas etc she’s permanent for a while)
My brother has him every Saturday and I call for a few hours while he’s there, honestly like yesterday he didn’t stop jumping/ hopping or running for hours, occasionally he’s lie for a few minutes on the sofa,
I was wrecked watching him,
Daddy came to pick him up and told us he was up since 4 that morning ( kid)
This was yesterday afternoon at 4.15
honestly feel for parents of smallies ,I found it difficult with mine when they were all steps of stairs ,but couldn’t do it now
Since the clocks changed my four year old now gets up at anytime between 5 & 6.
Is it bad parenting to have taught him how to turn on the TV and just leave him off up to the sitting room on his own? His 6 year old sister will usually get up to him about half an hour later. She’ll usually sort breakfast for the two of them then. One morning it was rice crispies in orange juice, but last week she made herself a grilled cheese sandwich in toasted sandwich maker, and on Friday she made porridge for the two of them in the microwave.

As long as you’re happy that they are safe and sound they’re harming no one.

The opposite to bad parenting… Feed a man to fish and all that…

He ate a packet of fizzy sweets while waiting for me to get up this morning

No judgment here
Next step is to train him how to open a beer bottle for daddy and bring out the bins
Problem with him is if I got him to open the beer he’d have it half drank before he brought it into me. He’s a bit wild.

They sound perfectly brought up to me.
The Tipp was always gonna come back to haunt you some way.
TBF we are hoping he gets the hurling from the mothers side
I left the room yesterday and our wan had somehow figured to get Peppa Pig on in my absence. The tv had been on but she seems to have figured out the button with the recorded list 
Her mother working til 7pm tonight. My chances of getting sport watched today are limited. On the plus side, she’s start taking the hurleys out of the closet downstairs and she’s calling it ‘hurley’. None of this ‘hurl’ bullshit.
Today’s agenda:
‘picnic time’
Indoor football
Bouncing on the bed
Indoor hurling
Regular snacks
Bath-time
Some Peppa Pig
Chalking
Hide and seek
I’ll figure out what the child is doing later. Rainy days are shite

I got an old TV working with a firestick in the playroom, its saved my Sunday sports viewing.
Play rooms, islands, trampolines. Rural kids have it made.

And granny and grandad living in the next field over and Aunty Michelle and Uncle Pat across the road. We are heroes, briantinnion. Parenting in a pandemic without any family support in the capital.
