MamaSheep Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Because it's like everyone's gone all cranky-pants on me. There's lots of pick-pick-picking between my kids, and they keep whining at me, and my husband is being unusually short-tempered with them. There are a number of fairly snarky threads here, and several that aren't snarky, just rantish or whiney. People on my FB are unsusually gripy, and I, myself am constantly having to bite my tongue and sit on my hands, and not always having stellar success at it. I feel like putting everyone down for a nap and climbing into a bubble bath. What gives? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imagine.more Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Yep, it actually is, lol! Or rather, i think it was very early this morning (like 2am) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swellmomma Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 My kids have been doing the same. After thinking all week about how fabulous and quiet it's been with only the 2 of them this week, they woke up bickering. DD3 actually woke up this morning falling off the bed, and I am pretty sure it was the wrong side of it. SHe has been so whiny and miserable all day, it is driving me nuts.

My kids usually get along pretty well. If one is annoying the other they can usually solve the problem, and if not, a few well chosen words from mom or a "two-minute tidy time" usually fixes the problem. This morning I had to peel them away from each other so many times (it was mostly verbal with a little light shoving, nothing violently physical, but STILL!) that I wound up sending them both to their rooms until I called them for breakfast. BREAKFAST! It is never a good sign when you're already 'done' with your kids before breakfast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AuntieM Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 How's your weather? A low pressure front coming through will do that to my kids, especially when they were little littles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it's not just at my house, though. I'm seeing it here, and on Facebook, and those people are all over the place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PinkInTheBlue Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 My house is great today but has been bickery and snappy for the last couple of days. Maybe my house is pre-moon-al. :) LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pgr Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 (edited) I soooo needed to see this thread today! My three-nager had two full blown tantrums during a brief trip to the grocery store, to the point that an elderly woman looking at my kids commented "I hope they're OK..." to her friend as I was trying to remain calm and wrangle him into the carseat. And the six year old was sassy all.day. long. Even the baby had not one but three diaper blowouts right after I gave him a bath. I was sure they were conspiring to finally make me lose my marbles and wondering if (judging from the look on that wlderly woman's face) having them removed from my care would be such a bad idea (because I clearly am not doing a good job raising them). As I said - I really needed to see this today, thank you. Though I'm sorry that so many others are having such a crappy day, and yes - the full moon was breathtaking last night!

MamaSheep Posted July 16, 2011 Author Share Posted July 16, 2011 Misery does love company, eh? I am tired of the incessant chatter. And really, what value does a lengthy conversation consiting entirely of repetetively chanting the call/response of, "Cuckoo! Cuckoo!" "I know you are, but what am I?" contribute to the world? (I mean...I'm glad the autistic one had the social sense to come up with such a "lovely" age-appropriate response, but....really?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaSheep Posted July 16, 2011 Author Share Posted July 16, 2011 On the slightly more cheerful side, my dd made me giggle when she asked me to help her "unpodify" some peas from the garden to go in the salad she was making from greens she gathered out there today.

Maverick_Mom Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 I don't suppose I can blame a full moon for my printer malfunctioning while I was in the middle of printing something important. But I'm going to, anyway. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
