Jennifer in MI Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 No! But, my kids all have a lot of SNOT today (sniff, sniff!). :lol::lol::lol: But, mine certainly have their days! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiberia Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Yup. Just sent her to her room. School is postponed until a major attitude change. Happy Monday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaMa2005 Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Nope, not here. Actually, DS is doing things with a very grateful heart today. I wonder what he has up his sleeve :tongue_smilie:. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plain jane Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 OH me, pick me, pick me!!! :::frantically raising hand::: No doubt due to the influx of sugar ingested this morning. :glare: Ugh. Saint Nicholas sure knows how to make a day tough on mama. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ladydusk Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Oh, my yes. Daddy has been on vacation since Thanksgiving and went back to work today. The boy thinks he's now in charge as the man of the house. :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unsinkable Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Thankfully, no. But I've had those days, both the snotty kids kind and the snot-filled kids kind. DS actually shovelled for about an hour but was shocked to see his hard work unnoticeable an hour or so later. Ah, lake effect land! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kewb Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Is my 12 year old over at your house? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenL Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Not snotty (today), but he cannot focus to save his life even with all the tricks of the trade in place! So the 2 hours of schoolwork has taken him nearly 4, and he still has more to go!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoJosMom Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 How sad for you all. My precious little one is being an absolute angel and working diligently. Every fifteen minutes I say, "Remember, we can't go get the Christmas tree and start decorating until you're done with school." Works like a charm. ;) Now, if someone could please give me some motivational advice for all the other days of the year, I'm all :bigear:!!

dcjlkplus3 Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Here too. We even had a temper tantrum by one. They are "working" upstairs now. I'll have to check soon to see if anything is *actually* getting done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fairfarmhand Posted December 6, 2010 Author Share Posted December 6, 2010 I think 13 year old temper tantrums are way worse than 2 yr old ones. Why is it that if she doesn't like my answer she just asks it over and over again in an argumentative tone? "you never answered my question..." "oh yes I did. ABOUT 3 MILLION TIMES!!!!!"

misscometa Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 I usually think I'm the only one in the world having these types of days! I just keep asking myself? How do people do it? I've been having let's say a terrible school year...last week and this week have been a piece of cake. Wonder why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuntieM Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 (edited) Mondays have their challenges around here, especially after very active weekends. An outside spectator to our hsing today would believe a debate tournament was on the schedule for today.

daughterofsarah77 Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Both the literal and figurative SNOT here today! The fact that I have PMS isn't helping things either....:angry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosie_0801 Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Ah yes. We took the kids on an outing yesterday. Dd was horrible for most of the day and ds was horrible for most of the night. Oh well, dd got to see the penguins so mission was accomplished. Rosie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elizabeth in WA Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Mine are all absolute terrors today. :glare: Grandma just left yesterday after having ds10 in France for two weeks over Thanksgiving and then visiting for a few more days after bringing him back. It's either the excitement or I need to send that child away with grandma all the time, things are so much worse than usual today ... :banghead: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 My son is totally coming down with something. It doesn't help that he played in the garage last night with dad an hour and a half past bedtime. I wouldn't have let that happen had I known he was getting sick.

kalphs Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 (raising hand now) Telling myself over and over..."I love this kid..really I do" :iagree: Dd's snottiness has to deal with decorating the aluminum Christmas tree. Because Dd has failed to listen/follow instructions today the tree has topppled over twice. On the last topple I reminded her the tree, color wheel and red glass ornaments belongs to Maman. The tree was a birthday gift from Dh and Dd. I can choose to share or not to share. She is aware if her attitude does not change I will choose not to share the tree, the red glass ornaments or the color wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
