Mom2legomaniacs Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 I am trying to watch/listen to the Olympics. One kid is on the computer next to me and will. not. stop. talking! The other keeps talking too. Although he learned, last night while watching with me, that if something cool is on, he will get totally ignored. Anybody have any duct tape?;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kewb Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 Watching the Olympics with my kids drives me batty. The two of them talk non-stop. Sometimes, I go watch in the other room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to do that, but we have one tv. Times like this make me want a 2nd one. But only rarely. So not fun to watch with them if I actually want to hear anything going on.:glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sahamamama Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 If you pop some and they eat it, maybe they will be so busy eating that they will stop talking, at least for a bit... And if you put lots of butter and SALT on it :D, they will get thirsty and go to the kitchen to get a drink... THEN, they will have to go to the bathroom, and by that time, you can tell them to just brush their teeth and put on their PJs, 'cuz it's time for bed! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kewb Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 One tv is a problem in these instances. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrothead Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 I've got two little girls trying to do gymnastics in my living room after watching the Olympic gymnasts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom2legomaniacs Posted August 16, 2008 Author Share Posted August 16, 2008 One is doing the final steps of getting ready. I will let him watch for one or two more commercials and then off to bed with him. Older is being sent to get cleaned up soon. Then I will be here all alone for a bit. Older will be quiet eventually. They finally got the idea that they will be quiet!:001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dd would insist on "mommy get it!" So, I'd have to get up and get her the water and then, I'd be more upset than before. Just send 'em to bed!!!:lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
