To ask what inane shit your kids have argued or got upset about today

[LydiaBennetsUglyBonnet]

Our toilet is blocked so I went to buy a plunger after the school pick up from Screwfix. DD and DS (9 and 6 respectively) spent the whole car journey trying to grab it off each other and arguing over who deserves to play with it more.

I then got home and used the plunger in a toilet full of shit and have stuck it in a bucket full of bleach after I used it. They are asking every 2 minutes when the plunger will be ready to play with. I said it’s a tool I’ve used to unclog actual poo, go and play with your rooms full of proper toys!!

Disclaimer: this is a lighthearted thread. Please do not scrutinise my plunger use, parenting or try to diagnose my children with anything, thank you kindly

DS ate the last Froot Loops. DD hasn’t come out of her room since. Both 14 🙄

Somehow nothing!!! It's a Christmas miracle... But they are still awake so there is still time.

Get them a plunger

A couple of weeks ago my DNiece 7 ran to school sobbing and told the principal she is being abused. All the relevant calls made.
What did my single dad Dbro do?
Told her to stop playing with her Barbie and get ready for school. She was particularly enraged that he had called the doll “Barbie" and not by her real name. I kid you not.

Hooverphobe · Today 18:48

one threatened to report me to social services for mental cruelty. reader, I asked him to tidy his room.

OMG!!! You're horrible, how can you live with yourself?!

😁

This is the reason DS is an only! DB and I could argue about anything and did constantly!

Bought one of those 89p chocolate raindeers from Tesco, paid for it, went outside and opened it for DS1 (because he had said all around the shop he wanted to eat it in the car on the way home). Oh my, wasnt that a mistake! "I said I DIDNT want to eat it"...

Twice hysterical crying about who got to the front door first to take in a delivery. Another even more hysterical one over a small square of cardboard; I have no idea why that was important. Both home all day unwell and I am demented.

Both cried on and off for half an hour because they both wanted to sit on my knee but didn’t want the other one there 😂 my 1 year old kept hitting my 4 year old on the head and I couldn’t help but laugh, obviously made the situation worse. Every toy the 1 year old picked up her brother grabbed claiming he was playing with it first… they were both in bed for twenty past six 😂 first glass of wine poured by 6.21pm

When my dses were little, ds2 and ds3 (aged about 6 and 4) were fighting. Usually I’d just break up the fight, tell both combatants off and separate them, but this time I decided to get to the bottom of who had thrown the first punch - and it was ds3. I asked him why he had thumped his brother and his answer was “Because he was looking grumpy”! Ds2 was still looking grumpy, so I don’t think it helped.

It has gone down in family history though - they are 25 and 27 now, and will still say “He’s looking grumpy mum - can I thump him?” 😂😂😂

My older daughter ate three bowls of the younger daughters kimchi noodles today. I can hear them arguing as I write this. Haven't the heart to tell her that I've eaten a bowl of it too. I feel a trip to Costco coming on tomorrow to buy more.

My daughter got a Christmas tree decoration with her name on it from her aunt.

she screamed the house down for ages - THATS NOW HOW YOU SPELL MY NAME (it is)

we giggled and she went quietly off to another room, we thought to play. She comes back with the decoration and a sharpie. She’d crossed the name out and written it again underneath - EXACTLY THE SAME 🤣

Not today, but my favourite argument my children have had was when they were collecting imaginary parrots. My DD took the imaginary parrot my DS wanted and wouldn't give it back! They were full on arguing about it.

The dog wanted to play with the big squeaky ball and not the small squeaky ball DS wanted her to play with. DS (3) laid down and threw his arms and legs about repeating small ball, small ball. Dog didn't batter an eyelid.

Trust me my single DS 14 argues with us about the inanest thing - can't think of an example right now

Yesterday morning when he opened his "filled by us advent calendar " that he insisted on still having this year as it's a "tradition" he left the toffee crisp bar on the side as he "didn't want it" - DH ate it later on in the day as he's particularly partial to a toffee crisp and was there when DS dismissively says he didn't want it ... after school many many hours later DS wants it and says DH has infringed his rights (!)

🤣 🤣 🤣

Sorry OP but this beats the plunger hands down!

Mine argued about a piece of old rope. They were 14 and 6. We were on holiday in my parents touring caravan (small space with nowhere to escape to) and they both took a liking to messing around with this old, unravelling, tatty bit of rope. It escalated into a physical fight.

Despite the age gap, they non stop fight and bicker. Most of it starts as soon as they catch sight of each other at the breakfast table. One of them will complain that the other keeps looking at him and that's my morning ruined.

DS 3 has a cough that's keeping him up at night so he's extra grumpy. Today he asked me to peel him a Satsuma so I did and separated all the segments for him. Clearly that was wrong because he explained 'mummy you tore it into little pieces, now I can't eat it and I have to throw it on the floor' and tipped it all everywhere as though that was the totally logical conclusion to the situation.

DS crumpled big time when he got another elf in his McDonald's happy meal. I know! Consumer crap etc. He complained bitterly that his last one, ordered online, had a book in it.

Just the one, so no bickering thank god, but since getting picked up from nursery this evening, DD (2) has been upset about (in no particular order): being in the car, having to go into the house, being forced to watch CBeebies instead of Netflix, not having enough juice, having to get in the bath, having to get out of the bath, her favourite vest being unavailable as in the wash, probably a bunch of other stuff I blocked out.

Where do I start? My two girls were arguing because they both wanted to walk next to me on the way home from school. There was room for one on either side, but no, they both had to be on the left side.

My two year old boy screamed blood-curdling screams non-stop for 20 minutes all the way to school and back because I made him wear his mittens in minus 3 degrees whilst dropping the girls at school this morning.

One of mine threatened to call childline if I didn’t buy him a selection box this year

he’s 23 in March…

Whose candle was whose on my birthday cake. They are 10 and 12

Which toliet to use, upstairs or downstairs 🤔

Four year old threw a belter of a tantrum at bedtime because he was given 10 minutes to read his book instead of 9.
