*Lulu* Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 AAAAGGGGGHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! :glare::glare::glare: My grievances* in no particular order: -For crying out loud put your trash in the trash can. It hasn't moved locations in YEARS! -If you skip whole sections of assigned work do NOT act shocked, wounded and distraught when I insist we complete them. -When I say this is an important phone call do not follow me around the house gesturing about the state of your stomach. -No, we will not be raising the baby rodent the dog discovered. No, this does not mean I hate all God's creatures. -Yelling, "I am SO not back talking" at your mother when she asks you to stop back talking is by definition BACK TALKING!! -How can it be possible that, after 4 years of asking you not to kick your sibling, you forgot it was not allowed? -While some clothing may be optional, underwear is not. -I do not wear your clothing and you do not fold mine. Crying about the general unfairness of folding your own clothing will not make it true. * Yes, this is all from today and only includes my little angels, not the rest of the family. So I am left with the question of wine, vodka (in some lemonade), or medicating everyone else! :tongue_smilie: Thanks for letting me vent. If I can survive a few more hours I can tell DH about how lucky he is that all of his children are tucked in beds and not duck-taped to walls! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dana Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Vodka, find some chocolate... And you might want to reconsider the duct tape. Hope tomorrow is better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicksMama-Zack's Mama Too Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Red wine and dark chocolate...cause it's good for you.:001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJ. Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Red wine and chocolate if you aren't watching calories, if you are then a vodka tonic with lime and maybe extra vodka :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*Lulu* Posted May 30, 2012 Author Share Posted May 30, 2012 And how about the dirty laundry on the floor next to the laundry basket!! My personal favorite is when I ask a particular little girl for her dirty clothes, then find a pile of dirty stuff on the floor of her closet. Next to the laundry basket. After I've done the load. *sigh* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melissad2 Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 All of the above and only if you share with me :) Why do kids like to be naked? And why is the trash can covered in kid repellent? And NO you may no go outside to pee on the front porch...sigh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ktgrok Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 I'm sorry, I had to laugh. I think I've said every single one of those. Add in something about teeth brushing not being optional, and not something to roll one's eyes about. Especially when mom realizes you haven't even unpacked it since our trip 2 days ago! Oh, and the dogs get fed twice a day, EVERY DAY. This is not new. It will not change. Get used to it and DO it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktgrok Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 OH, and my favorite in the past week, "climbing into sewers is not allowed...EVER." You would think that one would go without saying, but I guess not. DH was driving home from work and saw the 12 year old climbing out of a manhole. The same 12 year old that won't drink water from the bathroom sink because he is sure it is somehow connected to the toilet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pfamilygal Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 We call them "mommy smoothies" around here. Of course, my 11 yr old told his VERY religious co-op art class that "My mom drinks wine a lot.

Cinder Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 I'm voting for vodka because you can mix it anything and it tastes great. Plus wine gives me a headache so it wouldn't work very well for me in your shoes. And I don't have any valium around. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaxMom Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 I am laughing so hard right now. It wouldn't be nearly as funny if we didn't have rules we never saw coming. And then the subsections of those rules where we found unforeseen loopholes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coffeetime Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Ah, on days like that I go with vodka, iced tea and a splash of lemonaid. Today however, I'm stuck with rum and lemonaid... 'cause I drank all the vodka... :tongue_smilie: We call them "mommy smoothies" around here. Of course, my 11 yr old told his VERY religious co-op art class that "My mom drinks wine a lot.

LillyMama Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 The same 12 year old that won't drink water from the bathroom sink because he is sure it is somehow connected to the toilet. This is totally off topic... When I was young, I always washed my hands before I flushed for this reason. I also would get into perfect position, flush and then SPRINT out of the bathroom as I was sure the toilet would suck me down somehow. But I never climbed in a sewer. :ack2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LillyMama Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Can we have a spin off thread regarding the things you never thought you'd have to say? Like "please don't put lip gloss on your stuffed animals." and "No, the cat doesn't like to have glitter glued to his fur." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*Lulu* Posted May 31, 2012 Author Share Posted May 31, 2012 In reality I skipped the booze and went straight for the medicating chocolate goodness. I also had some sweet children, (who in no way resembled the children running around my house today), pop out to give me extra bedtime hugs. I think those were better than the chocolate. It was only milk chocolate after all. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
