GIVEAWAY: WIN a Time-Out Chair by Room to Grow Worth £52.00 (CD: 30/08/2014)

Posted on

Oh boy do I need one of these time-out chairs for Dexie! When I first heard of the Terrible Two’s I thought it was some cruel joke that mums played on one another. Surely life couldn’t get anymore challenging than the constant watchfulness of year one. In my own head, I convinced myself that a walking talking Dexter would be easier to educate, entertain and discipline. I could sit him down with crayons, make him a drink in a beaker, watch cartoons with him, play flash-card games… He’d understand me when I explain I have to leave him for a second to make his dinner, go to the toilet or clean the bathroom, and sit there patiently waiting for mummy to return.

Wrong.

I am now the proud owner of a two-year-old tornado. One that can climb up things, tear things, slam things and hit things. I love him to pieces but I’ve never been happier to see Craig come home at the end of a day. I tell him No so often I wouldn’t be surprised if he thinks this is his name.

Unfortunately, this sweet chair from Room to Grow won’t be winging its way to Chez Mills. Instead it could be yours; ready and primed to seat your child’s bum every time you catch them with their hands in the toilet, tearing up your bank statements or drawing Buzz Lightyear on your magnolia walls.

Whilst you’re admiring this cute chair, you might be wondering what else Room to Grow sell…

Well…

  1. Our 3 little ones are only small (3, 2 and 4 months) but we’ve had our occasions where stuff has gone missing, for example Daddy’s bank card a while back!! Had to turn the whole house upside down to find it they’ve also taken knifes and forks from other peoples tables at restaurants, destroyed few sets of blinds, broken dozens of toys etc. I wish I’d remember it all now lol or perhaps for the best that I don’t :D

  2. The naughtiest think my eldest has done is smashed the tv screen after getting into a little temper and thrown one of his thomas diecast trains.

  3. I’d love to win one of these in perpetration for my own little tornado when he hits his trouble maker stage :-)

  4. Drawn on wall, luckily we had some cleaning sponges which took the marks off. drawing had been done with felt tip pen.

  5. our 3 year old grand-daughter only last week managed to sneak a felt tip to bed, and coloured the walls and herself pink, her mum only found out when she went to check on her and by this time she was fast asleep so didn’t want to wake her to clean her up which was a mistake as she couldn’t get it off her in bath next morning so she had to go to nursery with her ‘body art’

  6. My eldest son emptied my jars of food colouring all over the kitchen tiles when he was a tot! - luckily after bleaching and scrubbing I managed to get the stains out! He thought it was funny - I didn’t!

  7. Squirted a bottle of suncream over their bed covers!! (half my fault for leaving it somewhere the could reach!)

  8. My eldest SON, 4, decided to bite my 8 week old son’s hand as I was making breakfast … attention seeking like you wouldn’t believe :-s

  9. I made a fresh cream cake for my brother’s birthday party. When my back was turned my son who was 5 at the time went to the fridge and stuck his hand right into the cake and started eating it. I was furious!

  10. bit my fingers so hard and clamped on for so long i thought my fingers were going to need sewing back on

  11. Ripped up the foam in his mattress and threw it all in his baby brothers cot so he looked like he had been snowed on when I went in in the morning!xx

  12. Seriously cute! <3

  13. my son is quite a wild one and we seem to put him on the time out step alot but he dosnt stay still, its a battle to keep him there … but he loves dinosaurs so you never no his bum could maybe stay still with this chair lol :)

  14. My grandson is two and in to everything, He likes to sleep in the dogs bead and we have caught him eating the dried dog food! He likes to fill the toilet with cotton buds and whole rolls of toilet paper. I have a feeling we are gonna need this chair!

  15. So far the worst thing my daughter has done is cover the dog in paint. She’s only 2.5 though, so there’s bags of time for her to be naughty!

  16. I Think the trying to be psychological hurtful is the naughtiest. Mine once called me a “smelly head” with a look of anger on her face because she had to go to bed ay 7:30.

  17. Pasta sauce all over my cream walls and carpet ….then threw the plate at me! took ages to get out and had to repaint the wall.

  18. my daughter climbed onto the chest of drawers in her room which was fairly high and pushed the fish tank off the top onto the floor, then proceeded to blame her teddy roo. luckily the fish survived but safe to say its not in her room anymore :)

  19. My son managed to get an entire bottle of sudocrem over his head and hair. Took lots of shampoo to get out

  20. My youngest got up in middle of night and got hold of toothpaste and talcum powder and put it everywhere all over the walls in her bedroom and bathroom, luckily I heard shuffling to wake me up but the damage was already done x

  21. Wow! These seats look amazing I so need one. My not even two yer old needs one, she has just turned into a paddy throwing monster (obviously I love her to bits) I just find the paddys so hard to contend with especially when she is smacking and telling me to go away! But if I do go away she cries cos she wants me. :-( x

  22. The worse thing my son has done was draw all over my new TV unit as I was in the middle of putting it up. Still not managed to get the marks off!

  23. my little girl is only 6 months so nothing too naughty but she does understand if she screams it gets attention lol x

  24. My daughter threw her big brother’s DS in the bin and we didn’t find out until after the rubbish had been collected.

  25. My little one is already showing mischievous signs and he’s only 7months old so I feel we’re in for an interesting ride. I’d love the chair in preperation for this.

  26. Middle step daughter wrote all over the bedroom wall and then blamed the eldest step daughter…thing is her hand writing was way to neat..not the mention they don’t share a room!!

  27. He crayoned his name in foot high letters on the living room wallpaper then tried to blame his baby brother

  28. What’s the naughtiest thing your child has ever done?
    painted the inside of the garage…………………..our neighbour’s garage

  29. My little darling managed to remove the safety plug from the socket and push in a bent wire (heaven only knows where he found it) He managed to blow all the fuses in the house, damaging the socket itself, but worst of all, he ended up with a nasty burn on his finger, very painful, and I was too relieved that he was not electrocuted to shout at him that evening. BUT he removed another cover next day, so he had a severe talking-to, with lots of “mommy was so worried” etc.

  30. the naughtiest thing i can remember was m,y older son who is now 17 when he was 3 he took my car keys and sat in car and turned key and started the car and it bumped it into the garden.within minutes he came back in the house told me he didnt want to play outside any more and hid the keys under the table and hid upstairs lol.it took a few people in the street to get the car back onto the drive.safe to say my older son didnt want to play in the car anymore lol

  31. Not much luckily, a bit of a hitting phase, & when he dribbled milk deliberately all over the floor in front of me.

  32. not that much, but he managed to find a permantant marker pen and decided that the wall needed a different colour, even to this day i have no idea where this pen come from

  33. My little one is on the way, so nothing yet! But two of my nephews used to pinch my make up whenever they got the chance!

  34. I got out of the car to check something and my little terror pressed the lock down and locked me out and then sat in the car seat giggling. Good job I could get back in!!

  35. Me and my sister pulled the beans out of our bean bags and trow them all over the floor and told our mum it was snowing

  36. haha my little dude has had plenty of little monster moments! From crayoning on the walls..spreading yogurt on walls…wrapping himself in loo roll…finding mummys makeup and giving himself a fabulous makeover.
    All moments to remind him of when hes older! :-)

  37. My little boy…well lets just say he didn’t like the word NO so decided while we wasn’t looking to take his nappy off and rub poo all over his bed sheets.

  38. My twin boys are only two, so currently the worst is having big boy beds but then getting out and throwing out the entire contents of there wardrobe!!

  39. Hmmm, now where to start….

    the things which have most made me wish a hole would open up in the ground and swallow me whole are :

    Whilst at my grandparents Jacob decided it would be fun to pull the wallpaper off the walls. (I actually burst into tears when he did this as I was convinced my grandparents would ban us from visiting)

    Whilst visiting my SIL in her brand new new build house with cream walls and cream carpets Jacob decided it would be fun to throw his dinner at the windows and doors and rub it in… luckily we had had the sense to sit in the garden to eat but he still made a mess and a half.

  40. My little girl is only 14 months and just starting to show signs of naughtiness, main things so far pulling everything off the coffee table

  41. The naughtiest thing my 4 year old has done is tip a whole bottle of washing up liquid across the work surfaces. He has also ‘painted’ his nails in with felt tips!

  42. We were at my friends wedding and my son who was about 3 at the time decided to help himself to some wedding cake by sticking his finger in the bottom of the icing - The cake had yet to be cut I was soooo embarrassed and couldn’t apologise enough

  43. luckily my children arent too bad. they did get talc and throw that everywhere the other day. the room was covered and so was the outside of the window. couldnt breathe in there lol. i try to find the funny side otherwise id probably cry!

  44. With four kids aged between 1 and 13 I can’t choose. They often blame each other so sometimes I never find out who the culprit is!

  45. My little boy picked up a lump of coal out of a fake fire and bashed it against the walls leaving plenty of black marks!!!

  46. The most recent naughtiest thing my two monkeys have done is gross!
    I put a dry nites sheet on my 3 year olds bed and told him it was a magic sheet that meant if he wee’d by accident in the night his bed wouldn’t get wet. This was my first mistake. All goes well. Sheet is dry all night. However the next morning my 3yr old informs me that his sheet is now wet and that oldest monkey 6 had told him to wee on it as it was magic. 3yr old thought it would totally disappear. I go in to find bed totally saturated, he had only pee’d and missed the sheet. I couldn’t be too mad at 3yr old I had told him it was magic, 6yr old however!!! It came out last week, 6yr old dropped himself in it that he had also wee’d on the bed, no doubt to encourage littlest monkey to do the naughty deed.
    I did warm you it was gross!

  47. My little man is only 6 months but he already has that naughty glint. He loves to grab things he should and we’ve already had an accidental shoplift of some kitchen clothes from the supermarket

  48. MY LITTLE ONE WENT INTO HER AUNTIES BEDROOM AND LIFTED UP HER QUILT, SQUIRTED HER VERY EXPENSIVE MOISTURISER ALL OVER THE BED AND PUT THE COVER BACK!!!

  49. My son managed to reach his pots of paint which were on a high shelf and painted our white brand spanking new washing machine blue!
    Then not quite satisfied with that once he had finished he decided to tip the rest of the blue paint into the soap dispenser drawer!

  50. my 3 yr old daughter after being told off for something and left in the hall for 2 mins to calm down took all her clothes off in protest!

  51. My babies are still little - 2 1/2 and 7 months. Luckily my little boy loves his little sister but he has become more willful. We were cleaning up in the kitchen and he started poking me with his little brush. When I asked him to stop he hit me on the bum!!

  52. He’s only 22 months old and today he tried planking on the dog they are about the same size I has to tell him off as he could end up hurting her but I had to hide back the laughter it was hilarious.

  53. Nothing Naughty… just Funny ! Squirted an unsuspecting neighbour over the fence with a water soaker :) brought a smile.

  54. When my eldest son was little, he pulled the dogs tail and refused to let go and the poor dog was squealing!

  55. my little girl, got the contents of my purse and ran upstairs, i chased her but too late was i!! she flushed the lot down the toilet, there was 120.00 in twenty pound notes, my shopping money for the week!

  56. All my kids are perfect!!!!! Ummmmm lol not really so sure of that!! My boys decided they needed a beach in their bedroom, so while i was downstairs they got jugs of water and poured them repeatedly over the bedroom floor!!! Not sure where the sand was but there was definitely lots of ‘sea’!!!!!

  57. My daughter once broke my expensive, designer prescription sunglasses by climbing in the car, and all 3 have had sudacream disasters!!!

  58. Cut her hair when visiting her Grandma and hid it behind the toilet bowl. Next day Grandma was cleaning the bathroom and thought it was something was curled up asleep.

  59. We’re on our 3rd TV in 9 months as both of my kids have smashed the screen on a 50” TV by throwing toys! Luckily we have home insurance or I’d have gone insane!

  60. My daughter covered my room ( bed sheets, mattress, mirror and carpet) in makeup. She drew faces on everything in lipstick and poured bodylotion and face powder everywhere. Then she blamed it on the dog!

  61. Not so much naughty but very very embarrassing!

    We were walking home and my neighbour (little boy) was behind us walking with his mum’s boyfriend. I’m not too sure what went on but my boy started shouting “Don’t you hit him”
    The man was all flustered, bright red and said “I didn’t”
    Well I just wanted the ground to absolutely open up and swallow me, so I’ve got hold of my sons arm trying to pull him away and he follows it up with “Yes you did I saw you. Your not even Adam’s dad so you shouldn’t be hitting him!”

    OMG -I was mortified and apologized, pace quickening up to get away. So although I was embarrassed at the time my son was 100% correct and I’m glad he felt the confidence to speak up to an adult and reprimand behaviour that is not acceptable.

  62. My daughter was good shopping with me one Saturday. In the queue behind a very curvy lady my daughter asked me very loudly if the lady had a baby in her bum as it was so big she then poked our foot long bread roll at her!! Naughty and very embarrassing

  63. When we had a Dalmatian puppy my daughter who was 4 at the time joined the spots with a purple felt time. She was doing a dot to dot!!!

  64. My girls of course are angels :D I was queuing up in the post office when my eldest was 2 and she blurted out, innocently and very loudly ” mummy your bum has eaten your red knickers!” Of course it was a monday and the whole post office was filled with old men waiting for their pensions :D

  65. my son cracked eggs into my shoes; this was the most naughtiest thing he has done, because he did it for no other reason than he thought it would be funny. it wasnt to make me smile, like when he drew on the wall to make the house pretty, it wasnt like when he took money from my purse ‘to buy me something nice’, it wasnt like when he covered his nans dog in expensive shampoo that took forever to wash out - ‘because he wanted to help nan make her dogs smell nicer’… this was to make himself laugh!!!

  66. We’re having a phase at the moment with puddles (thanks Peppa!)
    This means a lot of drinks get thrown to splash in puddles :(
    Hopefully she’ll grow out of it asap. I sound like a broken record lately “don’t tip your drink/it’s not a puddle” lol

  67. Unravelled a brand new loo roll - there was a trail from the bathroom, down the stairs and through the kitchen lol

  68. my little girl slammed my ipad to the floor when she couldn’t get an app to work, needless to say it smashed into a thousand pieces on my laminate flooring.

  69. They firmly believe that the cat wants to go on a ride in the washing machine, because they enjoyed a day at a funfair a few months ago

  70. My 4 kids are pretty good. The worst thing they have done is throw tantrums in public places (supermarket/library). I think beery kid does it at some point but still embarrassing!

  71. I have to pick 1? Drawn on her walls, drawn on the sofa with lipstick, cracked the TV screen are just a few. Naughtiest was cutting her sister’s hair though, not good.

  72. My eldest daughter was sooo naughty but looking back now we can laugh at a lot of the things she done. She was a terrible sleeper and used to get up to all sorts while the rest of us were fast asleep, One night she painter her bedroom carpet with black Hammerite paint, the whole carpet! By morning it had dried and it so stiff I couldn’t roll it up to throw it away!

  73. painted our walls and carpet with suda cream and then cos they ran out used talc on top! we couldn’t get it out the carpet we had to buy a new one :(

  74. So many things! having a meltdown tantrum in epic scale in a live performance of Mickeys magic show because I wouldn’t buy her an expensive toy

  75. They made a monster trap. All the bottles in the bathroom (including pure aloe vera oil and expensive after shave) poured on the floor right outside my bedroom. I stepped out I into a huge puddle that morning and went flying…

  76. She has drawn on the walls several times and now does it really small in corners where we don’t see it as easily.

  77. Draw on the living room walls and ripped the wallpaper off his bedroom wall. The child clearly doesn’t like wallpaper lol

  78. We love watching bob the builder but one day the wee one got hold of a real hammer out of goodness knows where. I turned my back for two seconds and found the tv had been bashed with chips all over the screen.

  79. he has done a few things you can class as naughty but once he came up from nowhere and punched his big brother, thankfully no harm done as his big brother is 15

  80. The youngest two broke the alarm system on the front door at my eldest daughters friends house when we were waiting for her. They were around 3 and 4 at the time.

  81. My 3 yr old daughter destroying the blinds in the front room, my 15 month old has’nt really done anything wrong apart from biting me when breast feeding, that really hurt. My 13 yr old, hurting his 3yr old sister, not good

  82. My son and his mate decided to have a wrestling match in our livingroom and rolled over and crushed all the little boxes I had spent 4 hours hand making for his sisters 4th birthday party that was the next day. The pair of them ran for their lives when I saw what they had done and started shouting, needless to say they took their wrestling matches outside from then on.

  83. My eldest is 3 and hasn’t done anything majorly naughty (yet!) but I can’t say i was best pleased when he used the cream leather sofa as a canvas for his creativity… it all washed off.

  84. I can’t think of one thing in particular but my eldest daughter has well and truly hit the ‘terrible 2′s’! I swear she wakes up an angel and then finds something to stick in her ears so she can’t hear me asking her to do something (or stop doing something!) Agree with you - the hubbie coming home in the evenings is met with a big sigh of relief most days! Buts it ok - she is nearly 3 - and it all stops then right?!

  85. Get to the store. Took her hat off, put some hair slides on and again wear hat on to cover up things she nicked. I was so embarrassed.. going back to store and apologising. She doesn’t do it any more.. luckily.
