    Hi Python Kid
    My son was using my membership to talk to you (Jacko10 ) while I was at the side of him so he could meet a few members, he's now a member.

    cheers

    I tried to calm him down for a while I was even sat on the sofa with him on my lap, then he just wanted to wrestle lol, I always make sure that he's well supported while I'm lifting and holding him :)

    But ya right I shouldn't have given in so easy, I'll know for the next time he's a brat eh lol. So its not rare for them to act like this I take it!!! My Royal used to be as good as gold bless her, maybe she's spoiled me eh lol.
    We have 5 kids the oldest 27 and the youngest 8, and now ya mentioned it he does remind me of when they are playing up, even the oldest ones now lol.

    I'm gonna weigh him tomorrow hopefully, when I got him he weighed 7.5lbs I know for sure he's put weight on and looks and acts more healthy for it, a bit too healthy eh lol.

    Well thanks for the advice and tips, I'll be thinking of what you've said the next time I hold him :)

    Thanks, take care.

    Cheers
    Andy

    heya,
    no worries i found if they start misbehaving like that dont give in to them you putting him back meant he won, best just to hold and not teach him that miss behaving will get him want he wants, another great lesson i learnt "they are just like children, they will misbehave and push till they get what they want, but if you show them whos boss the will soon learn your are"

    if he does the whole struggling thing give him some support and just carry on holding him talking calmly (helps you keep calm more then him LOL) and he will soon clam down

    as i said any time you need a chat im here from 7 am till 5 pm LOL
