Big Button

[tt3]

Hey, what do you guys do during the day when its like you and/or your kid(s) woke up on the wrong side of the bed?
I swear over lunch and right before nap time, I must have had a button the size of a house, because darn near every time I turned around Tara was pushing it!
I know her behavior suffers the closer it gets to nap time cuz she's simply tired, but man alive :shock:
Anyway, I've got some drywall mud to sand and lights to hang and wire, that'll take my mind off it for a while until she wakes up like a new little toddler... right?
:roll:
Anyone else?

I get days when I literally think my kids are demon possessed and they are simply out to make my life miserable.

Kids have off days. I don't mess around. After a few button pushes, I grab them by the arm and haul them up to their beds and make them nap. If they do not cooperate in the process they get a hand across the bottom.

But that is just me. I don't need to do it often as my kids are very well behaved most of the time.

I find using duct tape and a small closet, no food and water for 6 hours does the job just fine.

JUST KIDDING!

I find that a canoe paddle over the rearend while they are duct taped to the actual canoe works well. That and electric impulses periodically as they are submerged in 3 inches of water can do the trick.

My favorite is the neuce around the neck for short periods of time, while dunking them in a barrel of boiling oil.

Just kidding

Not sure I should be laughing, :lol: :lol: :lol:

Yes, there are days when you want to kiss them and then there are days when you want to toss them high up into the ceiling fan. Curious thing is that the word we use for 'them' is the word they'll be using for us when we're in the nursing home. So if what goes around, comes around, I'd advise restraint. Choke the dog. He'll be long gone before you are and he won't be making any power-of-attorney or living will decisions for you later on in life.

So far my 14 month old has been fairly easy. However, I can see the signs of things to come.......toddlerville [-(

I had the same thing yesterday, kids driving me nuts, I had a really short fuse, and took it all out on my wife when she came home, in the bedroom. I felt so much better, must have been a testosterone build up.

:lol: :lol:

It is funny because I get those days too. But sometimes I find that my day goes smoothly until the wife gets home and then the kids think they can get away with everything when mommy is home.

:roll:

Whew!
To top it all off, I thought it would be a good idea for my wife to take Tara grocery shopping after dinner so I could just get a little alone time... after dinner she went for a nap instead (my wife).
We grabbed a beer and went to play outside. um.. I grabbed a beer, though, not Tara.
Loved the cieling fan comment though, never thought of that!
and canoe paddle? My brother thought it would be funny to smack me with one, then thought better of it afterwards and was "are you ok, are you sure" cuz he thought I was crying, but I was laughing so hard, that really pissed him off and chased me upstairs and started wailin' on me with it, only I was under a wool quilt and laughing all the harder! :lol:
Thank God he didn't think to use the edge... :shock:
Ahhh, childhood memories.

Boy, you know how hard it is to bite my tounge while typing... or is it biting my fingers? Hmm... anyway, Don, I'm glad you're the one doin' the teasin! :D
Who knows what I'd have typed :twisted:

[Don-Dad]

I don't think Mike minds the teasing :) So stop biting your fingers, you know your kids are watching and before you know it they are biting their fingers too. Oh wait, they already do that, see too much time with the toddler and you start mimicing their behaviors, hehehe!

I know the feeling. It seems that they know that is time to push the buttons again AND use mom as a patsy! I have been trying to explain to the wife what they are doing and she does not buy it.

Of couse, since my oldest is 7, he gets his as soon as mom leaves the next day.... :twisted:

[mjknapp]

My wife was reading it when I was typing it, her exact words were "oh, you are so bad" :D
