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

Dd8 eating porridge near dd12 who doesn’t like porridge. Dd12 then refused to eat her breakfast because it had been near porridge.

she’s 13 in a few weeks, I fucking despair sometimes….

Our 3 youngest had a vigorous argument over who was going to sit next to their big sister's boyfriend at supper time . Poor kid! He took it in good humour thankfully

My daughter has literally just ripped up a Christmas card she wrote to her dad because she could only do ‘cross eyes’ with her eyes closed….

He made the mistake of laughing…well…we all did to be honest 😬🤣

OMG the ‘she’s LOOKING at me’ complaints. Apparently both of them have secret looks of contempt at each other that only the other one can detect. So even if it’s a perfectly neutral face, the other child will deduce from it that the other is ‘being nasty’.

FM actual L

Dd5 & Ds3 argued tonight over should carry Dd7’s sick bowl up the stairs for her as she was a bit of a state on tour to bed. Seen a fair bit of action this week too, and it was empty 🤮😁

The twins had tears today because one was eating a lolly and the other one didn't like how she was eating it.(she wasn't actually making any noise) They've had full on fights over breathing before as well

DS wouldn't let me have his 1/2 bottle of white wine thats in the fridge. Disgraceful behavior.

Oh my God, where to start.

Over whose year group Christmas party was which day.

Over whether or not 7yo DD1 was looking out of DS 4yo window on the school run.

7yo tantrum because I wouldn't let her stay in the car (parked on a public road after dark) and made her come into the warm house.

Because I stopped 4yo DD2 reading ALL the Mr Men books in bed as the out-loud reading was keeping DS awake.

And on, and on....

For a really long time my 2 were obsessed with being next to me - and I was NOT allowed to go in the middle! If we were on the sofa they had to both be on my left side to the point we’d often end up with one literally sitting in the other. Same with holding hands. They’d always want to hold the same hand, never a hand each. Thank god those days are over!

This is hilarious bless them! My son would love this

18! Hrs bloody 18 yr old who has flu tbf, and waited on and foot all day for 2 days
Just told me to shut up and get out of his face because I had a friend over and we talked too loudly!
Can I just add that other child has strep A and is out of it now, I've been hauled up at home for 4 days. Just needed some adult time and a chat.

So it never ends 😱😱

Mine bicker all day and night.
Just today my 3 year old screamed and sobbed because DD gets non uniform days such as Christmas jumper day... he's in nursery and wears what he wants to daily. 🙄

My three year old twins having a screaming argument over whose turn it was to pull the plug out their bath tonight.

Oh yes, looking at people.

"But he looked at me in a mean way "

As though this is morally equivalent to murder.

I really. Don't. Care!

I've had a really rubbish day, this thread has made me snort with laughter. I think that I might just go and look at my adult kids the wrong way, just for fun.

DS had a huge falling out with DD over the advent calendars. Not because she'd taken a chocolate, nothing so simple.

She'd unwrapped the cellophane from the calendar.

"She's stolen my satisfaction!"

Daily fights over whose turn it is to hold the pet rats, and yes, who goes first on everything. Except they both alwaysant to go second.

I was an only so I am just not used to the constant NOISE, mess and fighting

When they were 5 and 7 my two had an argument of the gender of their (joint) imaginary friend. Said imaginary friend was called Sam, DS5 referred to them as “he”, DD7 corrected him and said they were a girl. Cue half an hour of argument back and forth (including looking at the empty chair where Sam was “sitting” and asking for confirmation of the correct pronoun to use). There were tears etc.

Sometimes i long for “Sam’s a girl” type arguments compared to their bickering now.

Whose turn it was to empty the bath. 😡

Big three way argument about which actor is in a meme about soup (nope no idea). Argument lasted a lot longer than it would have taken to simply google it.

One insists the line is 'Last Christmas I gave you my heart, but the very next day you gave it away'. The other says its 'but the very next day sold it on ebay'.

Screaming match all the way to school nativity over this in the car.

As I am reading this thread, DS17 and DS14 have started arguing over who is going to get up and put a log in the fire. DS 14 is currently winning.

Who's turn it was to turn the light switch on (6 & 3)

Nursery nurse. Two children wanted the same car, we have at least 50 cars In the room but they wanted the same car. At least 20 minutes of but I saw it first.
In the end we said the cars were going to sleep and put them away!

When my two youngest were about 17 and 13 there was an ongoing joke where they changed the pictures on each other’s Netflix profiles. It turned nasty and the younger one deleted the older one’s viewing history. Absolute carnage. He’s still not forgiven fully five years later!

Screamed by sux2 (5 yrs old) about sux1 (8 hrs old)

MUMMY SUX1 HAS AN INVISIBLE REMOTE AND KEEPS PUTTING ME ON PAUSE
