Plucky Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 When it's 20 minutes after bedtime and kids are still walking around, getting drinks and mentioning slivers in their fingers. I'm laid back about a lot of things but this is my only kid free time all day. :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jen500 Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 I always wondered why my mom insisted we be in our bedrooms at 9pm sharp...now I know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brindee Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 Next time put them to bed 20 minutes earlier! :001_smile: I feel the same way. I'm just relaxing and enjoying the nothing thread when I hear...."Mom, are YOU going to bed soon?" "What are you doing?" :glare: It doesn't happen too much anymore, thankfully. But I DID put them to bed earlier when they got up like that.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marie in Oh Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 we've had three splinters this week at bedtime. It is amazing that they show up and start bothering them right at 9 pm, isn't it. :glare: What's up with that anyway? I so agree. The constant parade of children down the stairs after they've been put to bed is very annoying to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The constant parade of children down the stairs after they've been put to bed is very annoying to me. My nose is stuff. My sunburn hurts. I'm not sleepy. I can't get to sleep. It's like they WANT to see the flaming mother of death. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quiver0f10 Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 Last night I put the 10, 8, 5 and 3 yo to bed. Sit down to watch TV and hear fireworks going off next door. So much for bedtime :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelli in TN Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 It is good that my children feel secure in my love for them because I have been known to say to them "I love you, I really do, but I do not want to see your face until tomorrow morning!!!!!"

LauraGB Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 So glad we are not the only ones. Even if we have a good day, to end the night with me threatening to ground them until they are 21 and deny them any personal rights ever again, seems somehow to erase all the good of the day.;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starlashine Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 My son is of the itchy back or itchy head variety. It takes everything I have to stay calm when he does this. I am glad to not be alone.:001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

obiandelismom Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 SO glad to know I'm not the only one. Sometimes my eyes actually glow red, and my hands sprout green claws... :biggrinjester: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
