- Mess Test

Smear peanut butter on the sofa and curtains. Place a fish stick
behind the couch and leave it there all summer.

- Toy Test

Obtain a 55 gallon box of Legos (you may substitute roofing
tacks if you wish). Have a friend spread them all over the house.
Put on blindfold and take off shoes. Try to walk to the bathroom or
kitchen. Do not scream because this would wake a child at night.

- Grocery Store Test

Borrow one or two small animals (goats are best) and take them
with
you as you shop. Always keep them in sight and pay for anything
they
eat or damage.

- Dressing Test

Obtain one large, unhappy, live octopus. Stuff into a small net
bag
making sure that all the arms stay inside.

- Feeding Test

Obtain a large plastic milk jug. Fill halfway with water.
Suspend from the ceiling with a cord. Start the jug swinging. Try to
insert spoonfuls of soggy cereal into the mouth of the jug, while
pretending to be an airplane. Now dump the contents of the jug on the
floor.

- Night Test

Prepare by obtaining a small cloth bag and fill it with 8-12
pounds of sand. Soak it thoroughly in water. At 3:00pm, begin to waltz
and hum with the bag until 9:00pm. Lay down your bag and set your
alarm for 10:00pm. Get up, pick up your bag, and sing every song you
have ever heard. Make up about a dozen more and sing these too until
4:00am. Set alarm for 5:00am. Get up and make breakfast. Keep
this up for 5 years. Look cheerful.

- Ingenuity Test

Take an egg carton. Using a pair of scissors and pot of paint,
turn it into an alligator. Now take a toilet paper tube and turn it
into an attractive Christmas candle. Use only scotch tape and a piece
of foil. Last, take a milk carton, a ping-pong ball, and an empty
box of Cocoa Puffs. Make an exact replica of the Eiffel Tower.

- Automobile Test

Forget the BMW and buy a station wagon. Buy a chocolate ice
cream cone and put it in the glove compartment. Leave it there. Get a
dime. Stick it into the CD player. Take a family-size package of
chocolate chip cookies. Mash them into the back seat. Run a rake along
both side of the car. There, perfect!

- Physical Test (Women)

Obtain a large bean bag chair and attach it to the front of your
clothes. Leave it there for 9 months. Then remove the beans. And
try not to notice your closet full of clothes. You won't be wearing
them for a while.

- Physical Test (Men)

Go to the nearest drug store. Set your wallet on the counter.
Ask the clerk to help himself. Now proceed to the nearest food store. Go
to the head office and arrange for your paycheck to be directly
deposited to the store. Purchase a newspaper. Go home and read
it quietly for the last time.

- Final Assignment

Find a couple who already has a small child. Lecture them on how
they can improve their discipline, patience, tolerance, and toilet
training and child's table manners. Suggest many ways they can
improve. Emphasize to them that they should never allow their
children to run wild. Enjoy this experience. It will be the last
time you will have all the answers
 
Now where was this test before I had my kids
ROFLMAO :D

Thanks for this. Made me :)
 
You know you're not ready to have crumb snatchers if;

*You're dating on a regular basis
*You still want to travel to exotic places
*You like having delicate knick-knacks around your place
*You like to sleep all night undisturbed
*You look great nude in a mirror
*You like that two seater sports car you just bought
*You like to go out with friends on a whim
*You don't really prefer watching really dumb cartoons

You are ready to pump out tax deductions if;

*You have lost all desire for the above activities! :D

I was thinking the same thing. No test, no manual!:D
Though I have survived my little one.:)
 
I failed every test. Guess I won't be a dad this year.

:p
 
And to think I chose to have 3 of them...sigh..

Things dont get better as they grow up...the kids just think of new things to torture you with.
 
Thank you! Share the smiles!

You are welcome, Debbie. I took the test before I had my child and I still ended up with my child. ~laughing~ I must be a glutton for punishment. And whoever said that the children find more torture for parents as they grow older..thanks alot! My daughter is 7 months old and I was so wishing that it got easier!!! *sigh* Guess not.

I hope that everyone gets a smile from this and maybe even some of you contemplating it will decide not to have any children. Don't let it scare you. Being a parent is such a great feeling and you get to discover the world again, through the eyes of innocence!

And I now have a reason to put the Christmas tree up which has been lacking in my life because I thought it too much of a bother. I will celebrate Christmas, with my little one, on Christmas day and I will celebrate her life forever. :D

Frequently, when my kids were babies I wished that I hadn't thrown their instructions out with their dirty diapers. *sigh*
The aliens warned me not to. :D

Oh my god. I am in the Twilight zone. :)
Are your kids mine or mine yours? Or perhaps we share? LOL :D

Ahh *serene smile* seven months. A little angel. I have my 15 month old step grand baby for the night and love to see her face, smiling up at me, those outstretched arms and cutesy blue eyes. The way she welcomes me is priceless.
I have boys, 13 and 8, I love them but she is a joy, my pretty little angel my boys call her. They adore her and glare when I do a little growl at her.
We are lucky to have kids. :( So many want what we have and cannot.
I love Christmas, teaching my kids not how much i can buy you but how much i love you. :)
 
Oh Debbie, that has to be the best post I have ever seen here! You can feel the love that you have for your children and step-grandchild! It made me feel warm all over and I thank you for sharing that and making me glow so I will continue to be warm as I step out into the cold to go to work. :) Thank you! Have the merriest Christmas ever!!

I am so lucky. I love Christmas. Telling the kids all the cool things that I have done at Christmas. (The time my Grandparents brought a new stove and my sister and I took turns rolling and sliding down a small hill, finding a stray cat on Christmas Day and calliing him Puss in boots... Christmas is not about money/presents but about love, sharing and family.)
The fondest memory I have of Christmas was when my ex and I split up. I had little money and lots of stress and trouble but I had told my kids that we had plenty of love and that what I wanted most for Christmas was... them to be smiling. My oldest wrote in his homework journal the week before school broke up, "My Mum says we don't have a lot of money for presents. But that's ok because Christmas is about love and there is lots in our family and under our tree."
 
Kids make you whole. They changed my life, all of a sudden I had to grow up. I am the proud father of 3 gorgeous stepkids and the worlds most beautiful 3 year old. For the last 2 years I have been a stay at home dad because my partner can make more than three times what I can and still go to University full time. Guys, I highly recommend this if it is viable. It took me a long time to get used to not being at work, but my god the benefits... I have been able to watch my kids grow up and have been a huge part of their education up til now.

Rambling 'cos I'm tired... :) :) :) :) :) :)
