To want to smack the fucking thing right out of his hand?

[MyTeethAreItchy]

not so ‘D’ MIL has given DS (5) a kazoo. I kid you not, a kazoo. WIBU to hide it in the garbage bin?
I’m slowly losing my sanity.

My friend did that to me! Bought his DD and my two DD's a kazoo each!

Bastard!

Nearest bin and fast!!!

It’ll be a drum kit for Christmas

I'll swap your kazoo with the fucking accordion that my mil blessed us with, or recordian as my now 5 year old calls it.

My Dad once bought my DDs mouth organs

I thought I was going to lose my mind

It’ll be a drum kit for Christmas

And won't it be lovely for DC to have toys they can keep at MIL's so they have something to play with while they're there?

Recorder came home with 6 year old this week. Just in time for half term. . .

Random fact.

When I started prep school aged 9 a kazoo was on the "required equipment" list

Father Christmas once left my sister and I tin trumpets in our stockings 😁

They're quote brittle. Could you 'accidentally' step on it? Or put it in the path of DP to step on?

This is when teaching them the lesson "of you leave things on the floor they will get trodden on" comes in useful!

Kazoos break really easily btw

Hah ha candle evil x posts

Wait until DCis asleep tonight, then fill the interior of the kazoo with clear glue. When DC tries to play it tomorrow, it will not work, tell DC "Oh dear, the battery must be dead and you can't replace them." .
Sorted.

What did you do to annoy her that much?

My son had a Zingzillas guitar.The fucking thing never stopped.Would go off randomly.So it was put in the freezer,until it "broke"

A lot of my noisy toys as a child mysteriously disappeared or stopped making noise overnight

A mate of mine split up from her daughter's dad. Her ex-MIL gave her a recorder when she was about four or five, specifically to be kept at mum's house. Not dad's. Not grandma's. Just mum.

What an inventive way to say "fuck you", I thought.

I have a rule that they can only play them in the garden - my neighbours prob are me lkl

Between my mother and one sister they have gifted my son a harmonica, a drum set, an accordion, a trumpet and a set of symbols I have no idea what I have done to piss them both off

Ugh feel for you, I hated noisy toys when DD1 and DD2 were little, mine and DP's siblings seems to buy everyone possibly.
I would treat the kazoo the same way you would doing reading homework. Allow 10-15 minutes practice/playtime at a set time each day or on whatever set days work for you. No playing outside of practice times, the instrument is put away out of reach when not in use. It's a short enough time you can handle the irritating noise, you don't have to do anything horrible like hider or throw the kazoo away and your DS still gets to play it and importantly can tell your not so Dmil - win-win! Your kid will either get bored of it and stop wanting to play or eventually want to switch out for a proper instrument like a recorder or a uke in which case you have a routine already set up which makes it alot easier.

I feel your pain. Someone bought dd a fucking mouth organ when she was about 3.

I hid it after about 3 days and found it again, years later when we were getting a new kitchen. It made me shudder and went straight in the bin.

Oh christ, not one of those fucking things created by satan
I feel for you

Surely it is only meant to be played at MIL's house? Perhaps drop round with it and let her live with it for a while.
