in the manchild phase being newly 18.<br><br>
However it would behoove you to have or even pretend to have some respect for the people who are paying your bills while you finish school so you can go to college or get a job.<br>
The stunt you pulled yesterday is more of the reasons ( which you asked and argued with) of why no one wants to hire your a$$ right now. ATTITUDE.<br><br>
Since you are having to rely on us a bit longer than planned show some decent behaviour and courtesy even if you have to fake it. I don't care at this point.<br><br>
Stop driving me nuts complaining that we don't treat you like an adult and then two sentences later complain that you shouldn't have to be an adult because you are not grown and mature yet. It is making my head SPIN!!!!

To my 6-year-old: NO! You may NOT have a sprite! No matter how many times you ask, the answer will be no! WE DO NOT BUY DRINKS WHEN WE GO OUT, HAVE YOU NOT NOTICED?? And if we did buy drinks, they would NOT be soda. Yes, I know I let you have a sprite last Thanksgiving, and on your birthday. SO?!?!?!?!? And yes, I KNOW that a couple of times I have bought myself a coke at the drive-thru, I won't do that anymore, I SWEAR!! I just needed the caffeine!! IT WILL BE JUST WATER FROM NOW ON!!!<br><br>
To my 18-month-old: You are so cute sweetie. It is really cool and amazing that you've started talking! BUT DO YOU HAVE TO STAY UP HALF THE NIGHT PRACTICING!! WE CAN'T SLEEP!!! FOR THE PAST 3 NIGHTS I HAVE SPENT 3 HOURS LAYING IN BED WITH YOU LISTENING TO YOU SING AND GAB!! Why won't you SLEEP? You are keeping your sister up too!

To 2.5-year-old dd: Get off your baby brother!! How many effing times do I have to tell you - you canNOT climb on him - you canNOT pull him off my lap while he's eating - you canNOT bite his head - you canNOT feed him raisins or grapes or crackers or apricots or almonds or ANYTHING ELSE. He eats BREASTMILK - that's IT - just breastmilk. LEAVE HIM ALONE and let him freaking eat!!! Don't touch him when he's eating and don't dump him out of the carseat when he's fallen asleep there! He does NOT want to be turned upside down, even if you do up his freaking harness!!! STOP STOP STOP!!! He's just a baby!!! Oh - and get off the f***ing cat!!! He's not a horse - NO - you can't ride him - he's not a horse...and that's a tail, not a handle - don't pull him down the hallway! STOP STOP STOP!!!!<br><br>
To 2.5-month-old ds2: Stop kicking me! If you want to eat, eat, but don't kick me!! And, could you stop with the freaking out thing? I just want to brush my d***ned teeth before bed! Could you stop screaming at daddy - I'll be two minutes - that's all!!! I just fed you - why can't you wait two freaking minutes, so I can brush my teeth!?!?<br><br>
*sigh*<br>
That felt good.

 

[Storm Bride]

Might I add...Darling daughter - that is my HAIR, it is NOT a handle. DON'T DO THAT AGAIN!!!!! OUCH!!!!

 

[CurlyTop]

[LuvMyBabos]

aaaaahhhhh, I feel SO much better. Just when you think your household is the most insane on the planet, you see something like this and realize everything's ok. I think this is the best thread I've read. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.mothering.com/discussions/images/smilies/thumb.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="thumbs up">

[moppity]

baby girl, i love you to death but is just one day nap without me holding you too much to ask for?<br><br>
notice the one handed typing?

 

[Destinye]

I have to say this thread is hysterical when your DC is asleep and you feel all calm and relaxed and not in the midst of it! I mean when DD does these things I am like ARGGGGGHHHHHHH when its someone else it kind of puts it in perspective and helps you to laugh at it (which is very releasing) so thanks!!<br><br>
PS I liked the comment about the car looking like a landfill from the cereal! I think my car seat is glued in by now with chewed-up cereal glue.

 

[Storm Bride]

Stop tipping your head forward when I'm rinsing your hair. Do you WANT soap in your eyes?? Why do you do that? You know the soap stings - just tip your d***ed head back!!! No - not forward - BACK. Tip it BACK!!!<br><br>
.....<br>
Well - what did you think was going to happen - YES - you got soap in your eyes!!!<br><br>
AAARRRGGHHH!!!!

 

[paquerette]

Stop Pinching My Boob! Raaaaaaaar!

 

[Storm Bride]

I'm hogging this thread, I think....<br><br>
Yes - you can come in if you want, but I have to go <i>now</i> - let me close the door. Fine - outside then - okay - inside WHATEVER!!! I don't care if you're in or out, but I have to go NOW. No - leave the toilet paper alone - don't pull it off. No - it doesn't go in the toilet unless it's used - stop that!! You want on my lap? NOW?? This isn't the best time, you know...fine, okay - sit on my lap until I'm done. You have to get down - NOW - get down....I'm done! GET DOWN. Thank you - NO - no more toilet paper...ARRRGGGH<br><br>
Okay - I'm done we can get out now. NO - no more toilet paper!!!!<br><br>
Boy - it's too bad that when we don't have kids, we really don't <i>appreciate</i> the little luxuries like going to the bathroom by ourselves...
