...... it is time to give up.
He was eating a sandwich today and has a thing about eating the crusts.
Wee Robert : "Here mummy." *places two soggy crusts on my lap*
Me : "No sweetie, mummy doesn't want them, but thank you for sharing." *Tries to hand back sodden crusts*
Wee Robert : "I'm not sharing, you need to put them in the bin."
Me : *adopts stern mummy voice* "No darling, it is your rubbish, you need to put them in the bin."
Wee Robert : *stamps foot* "But why? I want you to do it."
Me : "Because you're a big boy now."
Wee Robert : "You're bigger."
