Don't want ss rubbing off on bd
How do you stop skids rubbing off onto your own kid? I've tried with my ss really have but he's turning into his bm really quickly. (I did know the lady and my husband as wider 'friends') anyways ss is spoilt, loud, obnoxious, self conceited etc and at 10 getting worse by the day. I don't want this rubbing off on the 4 yr old behaviour and attitude wise. Example he sits at dinner and during chat announce 'we are posh' we argued that not really, well we are, we have a big house we stay in Nice hotel (mum says we are posh) on he went til I had enough and said its really not nice to gloat. 4 Yr old says am I posh? So I'm trying to think how to explain that if you were that posh you wouldn't need to gloat you are it's more about breeding and manners than money, but in a way he won't go tell his mum I think they're talking tripe . It's only going to get worse hey
"No, dear, WE are not posh
"No, dear, WE are not posh but YOU are a snob."
POSH? LOL!Isn't it only the
POSH? LOL!
Isn't it only the lower classes who use this word to describe others?
A real posh person would never deign to use it.
Tells you something right there about your SS.
He is 10.
When I was 10 I thought my sneakers with flashing lights was the bee's knees...
Children have different standards as to what they consider posh and I am sure his mouthy snob phase will blow over.
Just watch it because a superiority complex which is unchecked can have nasty consequences.
People who are truly "posh"
People who are truly "posh" don't talk about it.
So... SS and BM are decidedly not.
With the exception of a single person on the planet.... there is always someone more "posh". Use this tactic to make this point with the 10yo SS. "Nope... see this guy/girl... they really are posh. You and BM on the other hand... not so much."
Stop giving SS the VIP
Stop giving SS the VIP lifestyle. Keep your house, but no more extravagant vacays, name brand clothes, or expensive toys. Kids can wear generic clothes. It builds character.
