NanceXToo Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 He's not quite five yet. He continued with: "I wish I could live at Uncle Matt's house. They have better food than us. They have Oreo cookies!" I'm feeling pretty good about my diet, but apparently my son isn't :lol: (And yes I do still buy them treats but I confess we don't keep as many in the house now that my husband and I are both dieting)!

Starr Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 It's a great thing in life to have an Uncle Matt! Our neighbors used to keep fruit loops for the kids at their house. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faithr Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 I just started WW two weeks ago. I've lost 3.7 lbs so far!

lionfamily1999 Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 :lol: I'm relieved to find this was not a depressing, my children hate me, thread (shew!). My kids want to live with my mother for the same reasons ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm working on taking off 10 pounds I've put back on in the last year after my Great Weight Loss of '06. And I REALLY want an Oreo :lol:!

Mejane Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 My kids used to want to live at my friend's house because she had a pantry that looked like the Hostess rack at the grocery store. Apparently, I was abusive because all they got here were corn chips, fruit and oatmeal cookies. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harriet Vane Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 My kids love the canned chicken soup they get at their grandmother's house. CANNED CHICKEN SOUP?!?!?!

myfatherslily Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 lol! My daughter has said she wants to live with her aunt and cousins next door. She would be in for a rude awakening, cause I'll bet Aunt Letisha wouldn't make pink frosting cinnamon rolls every day just for her;) The above mentioned SIL has an almost 3 year old who recently expressed angrily that she wanted to come live at my house. So SIL opened the door and let her go! They made up before she got all the way over here, though:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bzymom Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 (edited) If it's any comfort, as he becomes a teen, you'll share the same wish. And the chicken soup comment is very familiar. I have always made my own tomato sauce (gravy for the Italians!). My boys will not eat pasta anywhere else. My daughter, however, came home from a friend's house raving about the dinner they served her and asked me if I've ever heard of RAGU!! Geez.

chickenpatty Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 LOL! It reminds me of when one of my boys told me he was looking forward to getting married so his wife wouldn't make him eat rice. I think he was about 4 when he said this. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denisemomof4 Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 my boys feel deprived. They think their friends, the ones with candy, chips, cookies, etc., have it made, with all the GOOD stuff in the house. They don't like that the junk we allow are Cherrios, pretzels, pasta. We buy ice cream a couple of times per month and I do buy other treats, but the Oreos and such will be enjoyed at their friend's houses. Every Christmas I give each of the kids a bag of treats. They will get their annual box of poptarts, Cocoa Puffs, candy, chips, etc. They love it and they polish it off quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
springmama Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 I am reminded of the time my son angrily said "I don't like you cause you won't let me live here!!!!!" as we were exiting Magic Kingdom. That shortly before he fell asleep standing up and hit his sweet little head on the car door. I think he was just a little overtired, lol.

Binalina Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 LOL! My son (6) has said that and also added - "I'm not going to visit you when you're OLD!" :glare: along with - " You're the meanest Mom I've ever had!" and the all time gut puncher - " I wish I didn't have you for a mother!" But the one thing I can always count on when he's calmed down is a snuggly apology and an "I love you Mommy" :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year I think she was more excited about the Fruit Loops than the actual toys. For the most part, I'm a strict vegetarian (no meat, dairy, eggs...but I bend on the dairy/eggs part for holiday meals) and it drives my kid nuts because I usually don't buy junk food. However, I think she will be grateful when she is 30 and has great eating habits :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TanuvasaMama Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 My kids would ditch me for grandma's house in a second! She always has a big salad bowl stocked with treats on her counter. Even with out the treats...they'd still choose her. And I'll get to be the same with my grandkids!!! How's that for payback? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Night Elf Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 When my oldest was 6, she told me she wished I wasn't married to my husband (her stepdad). She asked if I could marry Santa instead. When I told her we would both miss him tremendously, she "okay. but can you marry both of them so Santa can live with us?" :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will get their annual box of poptarts, Cocoa Puffs, candy, chips, etc. They love it and they polish it off quickly. My husband is very hard to buy for and he doesn't like many sweets, but there are a few things he really likes. Sometimes we'll do gifts like 10 boxes of Captain Crunch cereal or a case of Girl Scout thin mint cookies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarreymere Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 When my husband got divorced from his ex, he got the kids. When we told her that we planned to get married she had a list of instructions about the kids that I was told I had to follow. The list began: 1. Each child is to have his or her OWN box of poptarts I can't remember the rest of the list! I hadn't bought poptarts in over a decade! Needless to say, THAT wasn't going to happen. Later, our own son, Fox, at age two began to tell us "I'm going to live with my REAL family" where apparently he could eat peanut butter sandwiches all day long and never pick up his toys.

Nakia Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 That is too cute! My kids sometimes say they want to spend the weekend with my mom because she buys tons of Pop-tarts, Little Debbies, and popsicles. :lol: We are such mean mommies!

TXMomof4 Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 My middle dd has said she's going to live with Granny and Pa when she turns 13 since she was little. Probably about age 4 she started letting us know she'd be gone when she's 13. I cheerily agreed and told her to let Pa know. He nixed that idea pretty quickly. She is persistent though - I think we're heading for summers at Granny and Pa's soon though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
