To ask what your children do that annoys you the most?

[Iloveanimals]

Sorry but I've just had a bad day with ds
He wouldn't listen to instructions properly, kept running off in front when I told him not to, argued back and finally hurt himself because he was acting silly.
Also he's so flamin fussy at meal times that they often turn into a disaster
Cheer me up and make me feel like I'm not alone . What do yours do to get your back up?

[Kidakidder]

Saying she needs a wee because she knows I'll drop everything etc...sitting down and saying "I not need a wee"

[squizita]

Will not go to sleep at bed time for me. Trying everythibg to keep herself awake. At wits end. Daddy goes in and comes out puzzled as she flopped down deep asleep within a nanosecond.

[squizita]

Dustbunnies I get "I allowed ... daddy/gran/keyworked umm say I allowed I not be in naughty".
Rrreeeaaallly? They said you were allowed to get mummy's lipstick out and draw on the table, or go into the chocolate jar by climbing up the furniture, or water the hallway floor... They did, did they?

I'm pregnant with my first child and this probably wasn't the best thread for me to read

When you get to teen years it's like being a dorm mistress. You are the boring one constantly trying to keep order

DS age 2 and DD age 2 (not twins) both of them pulling the large cushions of the sofa and and then jumping up and down on the no cushion less springs - don't know how the material has survived till now.
Makes it hard to get dishes washed or anything done in any other room than them!

[IToldYouIWasFreaky]

I have to fight to get him in the bath then fight to get him out.

YES! What is up with that? Every night..."do I HAVE to have a bath?", stropping and grumbling up the stairs, then runs it, gets in and half an hour later I am yelling at him to get out!

teen DD.

1. constantly reminding that packaging for you know what goes IN the bin next to the loo, not on top of it
   
2. wet towels. On the floor. All the time
   
3. floordrobe then a basket full of washing, half if which I swear I washed only a day or so ago and which is basically on a loop of floor-machine-line-folded neatly by me- floor
   
4. bloody Ed Sheeran
   
5. Like. Every second word

DS has a drum kit bought for him by parents. I can't think of anything apparently accidental that can safely, wholly destroy a drum kit in one go, but when I do, that will happen.

18 year old has left home to go to uni but it's probably as well or we'd have come to blows. Her room was a tip (which is fine, it's her room) but then she'd have hysterics when she couldn't find something she needed because her room was a fucking tip! Didn't matter how many times I helped her sort it out, within a week it was starting to resemble a jumble sale and I gave up.

DD2 is 11.

She talks. Literally from the moment she wakes until she goes to sleep.
She doesn't sleep (see 'talking' above) and wanders in and out of our room all night saying she can't sleep.
She says Mum eleventy billion times a day. Sometimes for no reason.
She fidgets. She cannot sit still.
She has no volume control. She's either asleep or loud.
And she is always hungry. I've never known a child consume as much as her and still be stick thin. Although that may be the bloody fidgeting. And talking.

Bottle flipping!!!! God give me strength

[PookieDo]

I am adding in teenage girls and period pain.

She was fine to go to the fun fair all day and I picked her up after, stopped off at a large supermarket for some bits and fuel and then we had an hour drive somewhere.

2 miles from leaving the supermarket to go on our hour long journey she declares she needs paracetamol and expected me to go back to the shop

Needless to say I didn't

[GoodForgetter]

The bickering. Oh my god the bickering. And mine are only 6 and 4 (with a not yet talking one to add in soon too, I'm sure).
And reading some of the previous posts,it would seem I have years of it to go yet

And their awesome ability to just tune me out....

[Springersrock]

DD1 mainly revolves around never putting rubbish in the fucking bin

• Eating all the snacky stuff and leaving empty wrappers in the cupboard
  
• Leaving sanitary towel wrappers all over the bathroom
  
• leaving wrappers and rubbish all over her bedroom floor.
  

And make up. It's bloody everywhere. She leaves it all over the bathroom, there is a film of powder in the bathroom/her bedroom.

Her room is a tip and she can't find anything so constant panics about finding her PE kit/maths homework

DD2 - constant muuuum-ing. Constantly saying "what?" - we've had her hearing checked, she's fine, but we have to constantly repeat everything we say. Drives me fucking mad

[ThomasRichard]

Squabbling. Always ending in tears and tales and whining "Mummmyyyyyyyyy"

[HumphreyCobblers]

They stand in the bloody doorway when I am trying to get through.

[mydogmymate]

Opening the fridge door and just staring in as if it will magically produce something they want. It seems to be a male thing, I've got 3 boys and they all do it but my only daughter doesn't. It drives me insane!
I've just caught my grandson doing it too 😡

[Tequilamockingbirdturd]

I'm sooo glad I only had one child the squabbling that I see and hear with siblings would tip me over the edge... my sister used to stand in between her boys with a wooden spoon when they fought as older teenagers ..... she used to whack one then the other to try to split them up

[Dixiestamp]

I absolutely KNEW that my Daily Mail-dar was right on this thread!
