Jean in Newcastle Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 If I am too tired, in pain to do normal school and activities, I am too tired and in pain to do a special field trip. And I'm not going to let my computer addicted son start programming his own game - and no, I don't really think that needs a big long explanation as to why. . . And I'm not going to do that extra little favor for the neighbor. All I want is to be able to recover so that I can hopefully have some semblance of being a normal person. And why do you think that I'm unreasonable for getting mad when you let off a squeaky toy in my ear when I finally dropped off to sleep for a much needed nap? And no, I can't get to sleep now! :banghead: And now for a yes - Yes, I know that I'm whining! :nopity: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted April 18, 2011 Author Share Posted April 18, 2011 The squeaky toy in the ear deserves a beating. I did decide that free time was coming to a rapid end. They are now outside doing yard work. But it's not a punishment as much as a "if you are so bored that you are getting into trouble, then I'll give you lots to do" kind of consequence.

Scarlett Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 The squeaky toy in the ear deserves a beating. This made me LOL. Jean :grouphug: I so totally relate to the being jerked awake by a kid who appears to be clueless. Rarely do I need a nap, but I swear EVERY time I lie down in the middle of the day, ds finds some reason to wake me up. And my naps are short! Grrr....

Jean in Newcastle Posted April 19, 2011 Author Share Posted April 19, 2011 Right there with you Jean....that squeaky would have turned into a missile headed straight at squeezers head! seriously! The thing is, it was my 13 year old. Surely he's old enough to know what effect that would cause?:cursing: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
