In a Bad Bad Mood

[antoinette]

I GOT THE COLD SHOULDER THE ENTIRE DAY

You all aware Mishka has been saying naughty things (my fault)

Today whenever she said Stevie boy is a bast..d hey, I put her back in her cage. This happened for most part of the day. went back to her cage 8 times in total.

Eventually when she came out, she never said that naughty word again.
BUT totally ignored me the entire day, turning her back on me and just mumbling.
I guess I deserved this treatment, because I said the word in front of her.
I SHOULD HAVE KNOW BETTER

has to learn. I honestly can't remember when she last had "time out" bet she won't be forgetting it in a hurry.

Ahhhhhhhhhh poor poor Mishka. You are such a cruel mamma Antoinette (snigger, snigger) but it is so childlike it's unreal, she has a real sulk about her there doesn't she? lol

I swear ohhhh OKAY OKAY OKAY I won't swear again EVER

It's like having a toddler, who has been punished, and sits and sulks for hours.

If it makes you feel any better Beau also has a bit of a sulk on this evening after I had the cheek to spray him with water, just like my youngest son he is allergic to bathing ;-)

Oh allergic to bathing

I'm not happy when "anyone" is sulking

Oh Ant it's amazing how "human" she is.

Sometimes she acts more human than my guys

 

[Spiritbird]

She has PMS already??

 

[antoinette]

She has PMS already??

Not that I am aware of LoL
Sure she was a cheesed off with me because of her "time out"

 

[parrotqueen]

Lol, she's such a toddler. Picks up on things you don't want her to, sulks for hours, yep... you have a feathered two year old.

I hope she never says those words again. As others have suggested, perhaps try to replace the word?

Yipe sure is acting like a toddler, even worse, she actually groans at me

 

[antoinette]

Yeah no more bad moods OR "time out"

Mishka is now saying Stevie boy is a bad boy hey

 

[HRH Di]

This is the sort of thing I'm a little nervous about. I tend to be a bit of a "potty mouth" and spew some very inappropriate words. Jade's saying a few words and Max and Ruby are practicing making sounds - both of them wolf whistle.

It happens to the best of us. LoL

Only thing to do is "time out" if they carry on saying the word.
When Mishka had "time out" when placing her back in her cage, I told her in a stern voice Stevie boy is a bad boy hey, emphasizing bad boy hey

8 "time out's" later and thank goodness she stopped saying it.

 

[wildheart]

Stevie boy is a bast..d hey,

You my friend needs a little bit of this!

Not only did YOU say the bad word but now you are punishing Miska for loving you and wanting to do everything you do. How on earth is she suppose to know that one word is good and the other is not?

I will be sending you a bar of soap with that dvd!!!

.... and then you can slip in a nice warm bath and have some time out. It is hard to be a parent! Thanks for a good laugh!
