Manipulative Mum

When it comes to birthday presents, Su Thompson's sister has no scruples ...

Last week was my sister's birthday. The day before, her husband and 5 year old son went shopping for her birthday present. My sister was desperate to know what they had bought her and so tried to get around her son. He refused to tell her what they had bought saying that Daddy had told him not to let on. My sister's husband then suggested to their son that he should draw a picture for Mummy's birthday. Seizing the opportunity, my sister suggested to him that he should draw her birthday present. "No" he said, "Daddy says I'm not to tell you what your present is - it's a secret. And besides, I can't draw bicycles."

Now's your opportunity to confess whether you've manipulated your offspring for your own ends - tell us about it in our Message Boards ...
