This made me so sad wwyd? - Page 3

LOL add me to the "I say some completely crazy stuff to my kids" bandwagon.  Like when we're in the store and my 6 year old won't shut up or stop whatever annoying thing that he's doing, I tell him in a very threatening voice that "I"m going to have to beat him now."  LOL  I actually had some crazy lady come up to me and start screaming that I should never beat my kids, she then turned to my son and told him not to worry she would make sure I didn't touch him.  He looked at her and said "She was joking, DUH!", while doing this with the eye roll and look that says you're a moron as only a 6 year old can do.  Now it wasn't the nicest or most polite thing for him to say but OMG just to see the look on that woman's face was hysterical.

OTOH, when I was a kid, my mom used to say "stop doing x dangerous thing, I don't have time to take you to the emergency room", and I didn't understand that she was joking, even though it was hilarious to the adults.

Hey, I say "stop doing x dangerous thing, I do not WANT to take you to the hospital tonight" and I am perfectly serious.

If a hospital trip is required, sure I will do it. Doesn't mean I WANT to ever do it.

Yeah.  I don't have time for ER trips.  If they need to happen, they will happen - that has nothing to do with the fact that they are just not on the agenda!

And, I can say that I love that my ds talks now, but sometimes, I need to THINK - and its HARD to think when someone is chattering constantly.  No matter how quiet, polite, sweet, whatever, its so hard to concentrate when a child is constantly chatting away and doesn't even stop to take a breath!  I mean seriously, I have moments when I'm just like, "STOP!  for the love of god, STOP for 5seconds so I can find my keys!" 

Thankfully, ds doesn't like Dora, but I have heard so much about Lightning McQueen and Rusteeze I could puke.

OMG. My sister bought my 3 yo one of those for her birthday. It is LOUD and you can't adjust the volume. I took the batteries out yesterday. She frowned for awhile and asked me to get new batteries, but today she was playing with it and didn't mention the batteries.

I just sang my husband the "I'm the map!" song (he's DD's stepdad and wasn't around when she was little enough to want to watch Dora) and he literally did not believe me that something that horrid could possibly be real.

Great. This thing is annoying me already and it's still wrapped and in the back of my closet. For a parent who is highly annoyed by Dora,my DD is getting a lot of Dora related items for Xmas. I wish I could blame it on DH but I am guilty of buying her a Dora talking cell phone. The draw was it says her name but it does have volume control.
