Oh no. Is this what happens? I thought I was safe since I have a son. Was I all wrong in this assumption?

So glad I stumbled upon you from, oh, I can't remember where now.

Loved the reading. Be back!

Hi. I'm new here. I have two boys (and a baby girl), and I was laughing my head off at the whole "shooting" you thing. I tell you, if I had a nickel for everytime I got "shot" during the day (with a pointed finger stabbing towards me and a pshew sound), I'd be able to pay for a nanny or something.

I can't tell you how many breakdowns I have had. T...

I can't tell you how many breakdowns I have had. This parenting crap is hard stuff! LOL But it is usually with my girl!
Uh-oh. You are gonna have your hands full!

My adored grandson (who turned 2 in January) is the drama queen to end all drama queens. I can't WAIT till his mom calls with these kinds of stories.

(BTW - you did good!)

Oh no! I am so sorry! So not looking forward to ...

2009-04-29T13:12:00.000-05:00

Oh no! I am so sorry! So not looking forward to that. It is scary what kids can pick up (like the shooting of a gun) and not even know what they are really saying.

I hear "I hate you" .... "Old Lady" many many time...

2009-04-29T09:23:00.000-05:00

I hear "I hate you" .... "Old Lady" many many times and it has gotten to the point that I dont even notice. My hope is that one day they will realize that mom and dad are only looking out for the best for them.

When you find the solution to "boy troubles" pass it along k?

2009-04-28T21:32:00.000-05:00

What a relief, I thought I was the only mean mother on the planet! I have 3 girls, so I know I'll have it worse, but my now 8-year-old has yelled "I HATE YOU" in anger on-and-off for about 4 years now. It gets a little old. But, there's always that nagging doubt that other peoples kids don't talk/act that way. Sometimes it's just good to know that we're in it together, as parents!

Mine do the same thing... why don't they understan...

2009-04-28T19:51:00.000-05:00

Mine do the same thing... why don't they understand being grounded to their room means they are to stay in there?!

It's been awhile... but I've gotten the "you're so mean! I hate you!" from the oldest. Stabs you right in the heart, doesn't it?

Oh boy have I heard all of that before! And yes t...

2009-04-28T18:11:00.000-05:00

Oh boy have I heard all of that before! And yes the crying works for sure! Little boys are such brats sometimes.

Wow, that is something. It has just occured to me ...

2009-04-28T17:33:00.000-05:00

Wow, that is something. It has just occured to me that this parenting gig seems to get more and more difficult as the years go by. Mmmmm......

You better nip it in the bud, or you will be next!...

Ho boy! You have your hands full now. Maybe I can share some "tricks" that worked on you.
love,
mom

2009-04-28T02:30:00.000-05:00

This whole mom thing is hard isn't it?? I swear, when it comes to this stuff, I am so lame. I never know what to do or how to handle it. I sympathize!!

Oh, and I totally do the crying thing too...it works better on Isaac than it does on Gracie. I think she knows that girl trick already...

Yeah.. does this make you feel any better... been ...

2009-04-27T23:33:00.000-05:00

Yeah.. does this make you feel any better... been there, done that! LOL.. That sounded like I was telling the story. I tell my boys all the time, DO NOT go in to the neighbors house without telling me first.. bla bla bla bla bla (that's what they hear) And, I too, have had something similar used on me. I can't remember exactly what it was but it involved shooting. And, he was talking about shooting me with his foam bullet play guns that they make for kids. Don't stress, I too have even gotten the 'I don't love you anymore'...... boys will be boys. And, they are still easier than girls. I don't care what anyone else says about that, I am a girl, and I know it's true.

Awww, I do feel bad for you. No parent ever looks ...

2009-04-27T22:55:00.000-05:00

Awww, I do feel bad for you. No parent ever looks forward to those type of verbal interactions with their child. At the same time, I am giggling a little bit. Only a little. Not in a mean way. Just as one stressed out mom to another! Mine isn't quite 2 yet, and therefore can't put his thoughts into appropriate words, but I see it in his behavior. And yes, it is frustrating. Just wait until they are adults and you tell them these stories. I bet that future adult them will apologize for past child-hood them. Hope you have a better week!
