Well, yeah. Toddlers tend to be curious, small, and apparently easily drownable.

Okay, it's sort of annoying the every one seems to keep calling toddlers stupid.
Even if you don't like little kids, there is a difference between stupidity and inexperience.

Small children that aren't being watched or haven't been taught about dangers can be injured or killed by even the most seemingly harmless things.

A little kid CAN get curious and fall in a bucket and drown.
Little kid anatomically are top heavy and could panic or get stuck.
Even baby seals can drown in water. They are built to be in water, but I've heard that if they go in too early on accident, they can turn upside down because they're top heavy.

this "how can i deal with my cousin" thread turned into a "people are stupid" thread
and i stopped taking suggestions a while ago, i just never said it.

Oh ya I remeber my mom telling me that when I fist started baby sitting around the neighbor hood.The parents just need to watch them around some toys.If the toddler like TF they can buy him those CYBER SLAMMER ones.

Truthfull it's never the toy companys fault that a child dies from playing with their product. It's some bad parrent who can't be bothered to actully watch their kid.

It's just like the McDonalds coffee cup incident. Do we really need a "Warning: Contents of glass may be HOT" lable on your coffee or is that just common sense to know that without haveing to be told.

People are just getting stupider by the day.

They'll have to start putting lables on solid foods next I'm sure. "Warning: Not for infants who have no teeth, they can't chew."

I do not feel one bit sorry for a parrent who lost their child because it chocked to death because it's painfully obvious the only reason the child chocked was because the parrent was neglecting it. I feel sorry for the child who lost it's life but not the neglecting parrents.

End rant

Can I get an "amen!" AND a "Hallelujah!"?!

Amen! Hallelujah Brother!

My child has never never been hurt or choked on a toy. It's called supervision! It's called common sense! It's called talking to your kids and letting them know what will happen if they do inapropriate things with thier toys!

About the cousin. I know you have stopped taking suggestions but, have you tried talking with your Aunt and Uncle? Have you tried telling them how you feel? As soon as I know my little one is causing a problem, I go and get her. Being young is no excuse for being a brat.

General rule about threads.
Just because the author of the thread is done doesn't mean everyone else is.

I'd like to dedicate a moment of silence to all the could-have-been Seibertron members who are not here today because they chocked on Startscream's null ray in '85.

There, well, now back to work.

AMEN to no brothers..or siblings my cuz went home.

Yeah, the only Transformer Curious lifeform is my cat, Smudge. I was once lining up my Armada Transformers for a photo when she came over, tackled all of them, and started rubbing against, and playing with Thundercracker. It's gotten to the point, I know when I have a delivery of Transformers, because whenever a courier has dropped a package at my doorstep, Smudge now meows and claws at the door.

My childhood "best friend" was my cat Woodstock (RIP )....He too enjoyed playing with my Transformers almost as much as I did..and he had this thing with G1 Optimus Prime....He figured out how to open the trailer and push the button on the back to shoot Roller across the room....Endless entertainment for him. His partner (the dumb one), Brutus (RIP ), enjoyed the missiles from the Seekers...little bugger ate ALL of Thundercracker's missiles before I hid them from him!

Yeah, Smudge's favourites seem to be Thundercracker and Energon Shockblast.

Oh my gawd, your cat's name is Smudge? Are you familiar with "Forever Plaid" or "Plaid Tidings" the guy with the glasses is Smudge.

You ever seen a small baby? Both my nephews were small enough to fit in a bucket when they were born. Actully the oldest one is only a year old, he could still fit in a bucket.

Let's put it this way, he'd be able to lean over the top of the bucket and either fall in or end up with it on top of him. He would not how ever be able to get out of said bucket with out some help.

Now a 5 year old getting a bucket stuck on his head, that's just being stupid. By 5 years of age they should know better.

Smaller childern are not stupid, it's just that they're still learning.

I have the misfortune of having two older brothers and one younger sister (My second oldest brother is in the Army, so I don't see him as much as my two other siblings. Therefore, I don't get as much BS from him.) My oldest brother likes to watch me post on Seibertron and other forums, and constantly flicks me on the back of the head to annoy me. My sister doesn't like Transformers, but then again she hates everything that brings me joy. And mocks me for it, in front of everybody willing to listen to her.

Well...at least they don't mess with my TFs.

So.. are your cousins still alive and kicking?

I hope you didn't do anything extreme.

The thing is, those stupid enough to try frakking their lawnmowers shouldn't be allowed to reproduce.

I'm sayin! Geez! It's bad enough you need a warning label on a HOT! cuppa coffee in America...but a warning to keep yer junk outta lawnmower blades??????????

Lapse Of Reason wrote:Buy him (or give him) a couple Transformers, play with him, and while you are at it teach him how you expect to be treated with respect. Usually a heart to heart talk after a good repoire has been established will work better than arguing, whining, complaining, or locking him out of the room.

If you look at what is motivating him, it is attention-seeing behavior. Fulfill his need and the behavior will decrease.

wise

I grew up with brothers who didn't have the "MINE" attitude so much as the "He likes it so we must destroy it" attitude.

Best I can recommend, put a lock on your bedroom door to keep him out and if that isn't a possibility, don't expect to have much till you're out on your own.

That was how I managed. You could also whoop his ass, but if he's a cry baby like my little brother was, you only gonna get whooped harder. The worst was when he'd just cry and say that I hit him when I wasn't even on the same floor as him.

Kinda makes me wonder, why I like him now

My little brother was a cry-baby and a mama's boy when he was little as well....And he too hated and despised everything I enjoyed, and would go out of his way to wreck it..and then when I'd get on him about it, he'd go crying to mommy and I'd get the belt (whether it was actually true or not). But time takes care of such things!
On his 28th birthday, he called me on the phone and actually apologized for being such a tool when he was younger, admitting to both myself and our parents that he was a childhood liar and deliberately "framed" me because he knew he could get away with it! Reason for the apology: His own children started pulling the very same stunts he did on me, and he found it quite crappy (his son started "framing" his sister in the eyes of their mother, and my brother saw through the boy's scams...and distastefully reminded my brother of himself as a child).


Wait til the little bugger grows up and has his own "evil" kids...He'll see the light!

I wish I could say that. I was 3 when I got my first TF and I lost his arm in less thwn a half hour. But soon replaced it. BW Razorclaw will never forgive me....a crab with a drill arm.....

I had a G1 Outback at three. I got him stuck in an ashtray in my moms car. Then it got hit by a bus and totaled

BTW, Liege Evilmus, where in New Jersey are you?

kinda surprising how many people said, "kick his ass."

We're talking about a 3 year old here. You can't kick a 3 year olds ass, he can't fight back. That's just beating on a baby.

He's 3, he's a baby, ignore him or spend some time playing with him. That's all he wants is some attention.
