Is it normal for a 10 year old Boy

[Pete]

to be unable to perch himself on a couch without launching himself 3 feet into the air and landing on it?

My 12yr old still does that. However, my 14yr old seems to have outgrown it...so there is hope.

You would ba amazed at what Chick can do.

Yes....it will stop when they are the one that bought the couch

YW....next

Chick probably flutters down like a feather. Boy on the other hand lands like a sack of concrete. I may be forced to take him to Shoppers and beat his ass.

 

[oldman]

Yes they grow out of it. I haven't done it since I developed back problems four years ago!

Mine did that until he realized the corner of the coffee table sucks. He went tumbling off the couch and "boom" drove his noggin into the corner. Nice litte 1" gash. Off to the ER. No stitches thankfully.

So he learned his lesson. And it made me pretty anal about the romping on the furniture thing now. Either keep your butt in the chair and your feet on the floor or get off the furniture.

Mine are getting out of it pretty quickly. When they do it they have to get up and sit on the floor.

Taser?

 

[meangirl]

Taser?

If I admit it, are you calling the cops? I'm gay you know.

 

[Pete]

YW....next

Crap

 

[Pete]

Gay gay or gay?

 

[meangirl]

Gay gay or gay?

Both

My 10 year old was doing that so one night I took away his sitting privileges. You know how dramatic they can be. He was suckin'. Stopped doing it though.

I have taken away sitting privlages at the kitchen table when our sons knees end up by his face instead of on the chair, or when he tips the chair back. he HATES it!!

Another reason my children hate me:

Stepdaughter age 9, and daughter 7. I heard them jumping on the bed.

I called them downstairs and made them write 250 times each:

"We will never jump on the bed again"

HA! The first time was written sloppy and they had to do it again.

These are memories of abuse they will keep forever.

Pete...

to be unable to perch himself on a couch without launching himself 3 feet into the air and landing on it?

...that is EXACTLY what he is trying to establish. He's doing research. Maybe you oughta help?

 

[Larry Gude]

Or...

Chick probably flutters down like a feather. Boy on the other hand lands like a sack of concrete. I may be forced to take him to Shoppers and beat his ass.

...maybe have him get out the cordless drill, a few drywall screws and teach him to fix it? Don't beat his ass for being a boy.

How did I miss this?
