Stacie Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 One would likely be sent to jail for pinching the head off of one's preteen son, no? Just wondering, of course... ;) :banghead: One of those days. ::sigh:: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Not if the jury were truly made up of your 'peers'...other homeschool moms. Stay strong! Those creatures can smell fear and exhaustion. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SquirrellyMama Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 I have you tried stand several feet away and putting your thumb and pointer finger up and pinching his head that way. You won't actually get in trouble but you can say to yourself "I'm pinching your head, I'm pinching your head". I taught my kids that trick but I've seen them doing it to me now. Not sure if I like it. Kelly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Rat Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Pretty sure that's a pretty hefty jail time, Stacie. I daydream about a trip to a mental ward.....for me! Ya know, people think those padded cells are so scary....I think....hey, it's quiet, it's soft, it's cozy and I can think for one dang minute without someone bugging me or calling me or needing something from me. Then I think, I sure am going to miss these boys when they're all grown. Sigh. No happy middle ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impish Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 I'm trying to visualize *how* one would go about 'pinching' a head off...other than the Kids In The Hall "I'm squishing your head!" thingie...and no jail time for that :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hornblower Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 the Kids In The Hall "I'm squishing your head!" thingie...and no jail time for that :lol: I think it's CRUSH, CRUSH, CRUSH, isn't it? That's how we do it. And we roll the R's...... :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elegantlion Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 I prefer to torture mine with a ride in the car where he is strapped in, must listen, and knows better than to raise my ire as I am driving. :D Had that conversation yesterday. My solution is usually to unleash said boy near water and he will be happy in 20 minutes or less. We played in mud puddles over the weekend and after we had the "chat" in the car he stayed outside and played in the hose. He must have washed away the grumpies because he was fine after that.

My dad thinks there should be somewhere like the Betty Ford Clinic for parents, so we can just go and "dry out" from the constant insanity of being, well, parents.

We have an inpatient facility within walking distance to our house and there are days when it looks like a great escape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tree House Academy Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 I am not sure...it may depend on what tool you use to do the pinching. I recommend LOTS of manual labor for said pre-teen. Pinching is over much too quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL - my husband has often told me that I seem to wait until they are all strapped in the car (him included :D) on a long trip before I really release my wrath.

Stacie Posted October 9, 2009 Author Share Posted October 9, 2009 Thanks for the hugs and sympathy! He settled down shortly after my post. Either that or the other personality emerged, I'm not sure but I'm not complaining either. ;) He's such a sweet kid that when this...this...strange being pops out I have a hard time understanding it. He turns eleven next month so maybe it will get better soon. Hopefully. :boxing_smiley: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tongue was planted firmly in cheek on that comment!! I see that you are in about the same spot as me with hormonal boy tween, so here's a :grouphug: and a :cheers2:. We should probably start a club for sanity reasons. :svengo: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
