I guess it's annoying if it goes against what u want, did it work?? X
 
Nope she did the exact same thing again and again

If it didn't work then it proves your point. I'm not a fan of the naughty step idea either tbh and wouldn't be happy if someone did it to Bertie. Just over a year old is a bit young for it anyway isn't it? She obviously didn't understand why
 
If that's not how you choose to discipline your child then absolutely you have a right to be annoyed! We've used the naughty step for my 4 year old and it works but my two year old would wet himself laughing at mummy's silly game xx

hmmm i'm not sure about this one, I think if someone else is watching your LO then its kinda up to them, as long as its not smacking or whatever. If you dont want a particular thing, like naughty step or whatever....tell you mum or babysitter before you leave LO with them, rather than being annoyed after...if that makes sense.

I dont see anything wrong with naughty step, its good for them to start learning asap that theres consequenses for naughty things, rather than trying to start when they're already toddlers & running riot in the house getting away with all sorts.

xxxxxxxx
 
I can't see your ticker, but I think it's only ment for 2 and over. But maybe your mum thought she was helping. You maybe need to chat with her about what forms of discipline you do want to use.

Tbh, although she got it wrong, it's quite forward thinking, cos I'm guessing discipline in their day meant a skelp on the bum.

Xxx
 
Hey Chick.
Yes I would be well annoyed. My Lo is a similar age to your Lo. My Lo would just not understand or comprehend what was happening to be honest. He would prob think it was a game and do it again and again. 15 months is far to early to be using a naughty step!! xxxx
 
Lizzie would not have a clue what I was doing if I did the naughty step! She has no concept of staying in the same place...or of time for that matter!
Am I right in thinking you live with your mum? If so then you need to explain to her that it's too soon and show her what you'd prefer if you aren't around.

Out of interest, what was the naughty thing M was doing? I've only ever done 'discipline' once and that was because Lizzie bit me because I took something off her.
 
She pulled the cats tail which yes is wrong but normaly I go to the cat give her a cuddle and then get m to stroke to say sorry which will work for the full day arghhhhh and they just woke her being ridiculously noisy and she's ill which doesn't help

I think you should make it clear how she should be disciplined as everyone should be consistent.

I use the naughty step and it works for us. I have asked my mum and MIL to do the same when Z is with them. X
 
I think you have very right to be annoyed, I would be too! She should have asked you first x x
 
I would be annoyed if my mum had gone against my wishes defo, but not surprised that it didn't work lol

We have a set of tables Oz keeps pushing over, he's really scratched them, we keep telling him no constantly but he goes back for me. I know he's testing his boundaries but he's so naughty. We have put him on the sofa and told him to stay there, it doesn't work lol But we have to keep going or he'll have won! I'm dreadnig the terrible twos lol
