Gilly's Official, I swear I am gonna beat the kids, Thread.

[Gilly Bean]

Ever have one of those days?


I swear, I would really really like to beat them on some days.

God, I am glad I don't even have the will power to spank em most days.


Chris, the 2 year old, did the following today. (In no particular order)

Threw shoes at sis.
Poured suger into a cup, and drink it. Spilling TONS of suger over the kitchen floor.
Slammed the door of his room OVER and OVER again, rattling the walls, and my nerves with it.
Screamed his head off when he wasn't allowed pudding for lunch, and subsequently, dinner as well.
Took out ALL the returnable bottles (MI- $.10 bottle deposit) and played with em like they were drum sticks for the walls, windows, and everything else.
Drew on his face with a magic marker. Not permanant, thank you!
Threwe toys around the living room till I was horse from yelling for him to stop.
Colored on the walls with afore mentioned marker.


Raegan, the 5 year old, did the following today. (Again, no order)

Wrote her name on the wall.
Claimed the 2 year old has learned to spell RAEGAN overnight.
Helped use bottles as drumsticks.
Took popcorn into her room, and spilled it everywhere.
Took cereal into her room. See above.
Took out the PACKED box of halloween costumes, and started trying em all on.
Left all the costumes out.
Unpacked the breakables.
Broke one breakable.

You know the worst part? I WILLINGLY wanted to add a 3rd to this mess!

 

[Fly_On_Wall]

[Debbie]

Take a deep breath and say ten times, "I am not nuts, yet!"

This is another of those this is so cute but only because it is not my kid kind of things.

 

[Guest]

you are a saint, you have my unending admiration..i'd have beheaded them..lol..which is why i don't have kids

maybe you could ring a family meember to sit for you, just for an hour/two..so you can have a nice bath or go grab coffee with a friend? i often do that for my bro's kids..just a short breather might help


mother is the name word for god, on the lips of small children..can't remember who said that, but you go, you goddess you

And for me, one of those, You just lied to me, not good, kinda moments.

The drawing doesn't make us nearly as mad as when she looks at us, and tells us she didn't do it. The first few times it was cute. It ceased being cute months ago.

((((((((((((((((((hugs))))))))))))))))

With only a five year old here I suddenly feel as though my son's antics are nothing compared with today's havoc at your house.

 

[OLIEOGRE]

Well Gilly, I feel for you. Lucky for me my kids have grown out of that stage but then they grew into another stage and then another and then another. I know that even though they are older I still have the kind of days that you have had today. I hope that you have a better day tomorrow and you do know that some day you will be calling days like today the good old days Keep on keepin on.

 

[nasty]

*Take a deep breath*"Glad their not mine." Sorry, I'm practicing for when Christmas gets closer. Seriously, just take a deep breath, stay on Lit., and, talk to us. I'll do my best to cheer ya up. I'm good at making people feel good. Ya see, I got a Ph.D in sweetness.*Gilly turns left* No, it's to your right.

 

[Batgirl]

I know the feeling!

This week my 13 year old has been harrassing me to get her navel peirced - as if harrassing me will bend me to her will!
And I recieved a note from my 6 year old sons school because he wrote "I like sexing" on his teachers book!!! When I asked him what 'sexing' was he replied 'I don't know, I just thought that she would like it"!!!

 

[Gilly Bean]

-ROFL-

Wow... that would be a hard one to explain away.

Kid #2 just went down, FINALLY for bed. I can't wait till they have seperate rooms. Right now, they share a room, and I have to wait till Rae is asleep before laying Chris down, or they will start playing, and staying up alllll night together.

Two more weeks, and they will be in thier own seperate rooms.

I can't wait!

 

[CeceliaSkye]

Gilly.. My four year old daughter sounds like a combination of your two year old and five year old... Somedays I want to just velcro her to a wall or something.....

 

[Gilly Bean]

Duct tape from the ceiling, by the toes, works better.


Or... um... so I hear.

 

[JennyOmanHill]

Bless you, Gilly!

Hi Gilly Bean

Remember I have four.........under the age of four.
And I swear I am still sane, yep, I am....................
Duct tape, huh?
Wonder what the wife would say if she came home and they were all hanging from the ceiling.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

 

[cyndiesweet]

Oh Gilly, I'd trade lives with you but mine is pretty much the same minus being preggers. I don't really want to do trhat again anytime soon. I have a one year old running around trashing the place. The other is in school,thankfully!

You need this book. It is the best! It's on audio too if you hate to read a lot. Love and Logic Parenting for Early Childhood by Jim Fay and Foster W Cline MD.It works and detaches you from the whole I am going crazy thing.

When is the new baby due?

 

[lillend]

I have 3 boys ages 9,7, and 5. My boyfriend has a 2 year old girl. It is a mad house around here! My three kids are all in school, his daughter is with her mom on thursday and friday. I get 2 days off. Those two days are supposed to be for house cleaning and such....instead I lay on the couch staring at the ceiling....trying oh so hard to forget that I have children .

 

[marduk]

My 3 year old has discovered writing on his bedroom walls and that it looks cool when you flush things down the toilet..He also enjoys leaving the fridge door open only he and god knows whyplus the poor cats are scared to death of him now likes to grab them by the tail..My eight year old isnt so bad anymore but has become a complete smartass almost over night..Anyway i know how you feel but then they look at you and smile saying i love you dad or your the best dad in the world and i kinda forget all of the other stuff ..

 

[Georgia Girl]

Much sympathy Gilly

I won't say I know how you feel, because I don't. I have one child, a son who is 4. I had two but I divorced the other one.

The one that I do have decided this morning when he was playing army that tampons make really good rockets since they come with a launcher.

Got to stop by the store on the way home and this time hide the artillary.

Maybe if some of you would RAISE your children, rather than sitting on the computer most of your days, your children would behave.

WOW, what a concept parents raising children, rather than just letting them growing up without some supervision. Children need attention! Why not give them some? Oh wait, no that wouldn’t work would it? You would have to actually do something besides sit on your ass in front of a computer.

 

[marduk]

I was going to go off on this person but then i figured thats what he wants so this is all you get from me

Wow unregistered idiot.. it sounds like perhaps your brain has become moldy from sitting so long at your computer spewing nastiness from your keyboard.. better get your ass moving.. before things totallly degenerate...

 

[freakygirl]

Hey Unregistered.. I sit on my ass all day in front of the computer.. and my daughter doesn't write on the walls..

but then again.. I lock her in her room..with nothing but a bed.

Does that make me a horrible parent also?
