I've heard duct tape will hold better. ;D Brooke's not quite that bad, but I still don't take her with me unless it is absolutely necessary. I do all the grocery shopping, and I can count on one hand the number of times she has gone with me. She acts pretty close to what you are describing, although as she gets older she seems to get a little better. A lot of times, I wait until after she goes to bed, so she doesn't know I have gone. That makes for a long day, but it is worth it to me for my sanity. There are no meltdowns about ballons, bandaids, or bubble gum.  No in the cart, out of the cart, in the cart, out of the cart, in the back, in the front, on the bottom of the cart like a bag of dogfood. Good Luck!! ;D |

I'm sitting here cracking up and my hubby is staring at me wondering if I've finally flipped out! My dd12 holds food in her mouth like a hamster, doesn't chew, just holds it. Drives me nuts! Also the HUNH? when you ask a question. Takes a shower but doesn't use soap or shampoo...Eu-reeka stinka! Waves the toothbrush in the general direction of her mouth without it ever making contact. Recycling underwear and socks. Dissecting dinner because certain ingredients can't be identified to her satisfaction. Repeating herself, butting in to conversations, being VERY LOUD. I'm sure there are more, but this is what's happened today!

Which one of you stole my kids when I wasn't looking???
How about a box of tissues sitting next to child with the sniffles. AND THE LOUD SSSSSSNNNNNNNNIIIIIIIIFFFFFFFFFFFF. "Use a tissue please."
SSSSSSNNNNNNIIIIIIIFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
Oh and the Jabberjaws thing, I bet Mikey could try to give the answer to any question because he "saw it on the news".
In my house we have the rule: if you cannot speak without using the word "like", "um", "well", and "then" Be quiet.
Your stories must have an ending, preferably after 3 sentences. House rule applied to stories also.
And if any of you have seen either of my children's jackets, please let me know, apparently laying in the middle of the floor somehow makes them disappear after we walk through the door.
Great to know we are not alone!!

uggghhh I forgot about that one. The laundry just sits in piles on the couch while the kids sit on the floor until either me or their dad tells them they have clothes to put away. "OH< WE DO?" is usually the response. Then, they drop half of them up the steps and ohhhhh, then, making me mad just thinking about it Oh well. Kaiti |

How about the garbage cans? The only way the garbage gets taken out is if I do it, or it grows legs and walks out on its own  . How can they not see the garbage overflowing in the closet? I think it must be a game to see how high they can pile it without it spilling over (building blocks?). PS - these are teenagers I'm talking about (plus hubby). |

If I get po'ed enough, I PILE it. Then tell him I"M TAKING OUT THE TRASH. Hubby then procedes to say that the kids are getting big enough now, they should do it. UMMMMMM
And By what example are they being taught. I end up taking it out, and if I DO, then I throw out whatever happens to be around the can too. ( pencils, erasers, toys, papers,,,,, ) Gets a little harsh sometimes, but I even take stuff that is mine.
They don't like it too much, but they haven't learned yet.

Erin Sometimes, I identify with the women on this board so much. I don't know if it is the ADHD that both my wife and daughter have or what. But I do all the yard work, cooking, grocery shopping, homework, all of the trash collection and taking out, most of the house cleaning and some of the laundry. The cat would never be fed and watered if I didn't do it or ask someone to do it. Plants would shrivel and die. After having said all that, I believe I would just explode if someone pulled a stunt like that with the trashbag. I sincerely think my brain would just melt and run out my ears. |

Yard Work? What's that?
I never mowed a lawn until about 2 yrs ago. When the grass got high enough to seed, I thought I would try my hand at it.
Needless to say, I need to remember to look for toys before they become flying projectiles.
But my husband is the King of the Rig. Yes RIG, if a twisty or duct tape can hold it, then by golly, we don't need a new one.
I did try to talk him into another mower, but, NOOOO he can fix this one. So I proceded to get my scissors out and start to cut the grass while he was working on the mower. He didn't like that too much. BUT, the lawn got mowed that day.
HMMMMMMM Now where did I put those scissors agaiN?

rosyred  You make me laugh so laud that my hubby look´s at me like I´ve lost my mind ;D ;D ;D I havent use that tactik with mowing lawn yet, but on everything else what you can name, if there is something to repair, it´s better to take a hammer and start with it, hubby come´s right behind me ;D ;D Dad2B: You sound like me and all the other mom´s in here. So you´re telling me that I´am not alone with this eather  I´ve wondered several times HOW is it possible that noone else in this house know´s where all those daily thing´s are. like it wouldn´t be enough to have 3 kid´s yelling: MOM WHERE IS... but to have a hubby doing the same thing. he doesn´´t even have adhd for an exuce ;D I´ve been thinking it´s a MAN thing, but now i have to think twice!

This whole thread has me giggling so much!! .... I can certainly relate to a lot of it ... but definitely the garbage.... it has ALWAYS been my son's job to take the garbage out for collection in the street on a Wednesday morning AND bring back the empty bin back in in the afternoon .... which is ok .... BUT my neighbour (bless him!) has started to do it for us!! ... He sees our garbage ready for my son to take and HE takes it along with his own ... he also brings back the empty bin later in the day (whilst we are at work and school respectively) ... Don't really want to say anything (except "THANKYOU") to my neighbour but SOMEHOW my son has completely "lost" this chore!! Hmmmm..... |
