lighthearted (kind of ๐Ÿ˜‚)

For me itโ€™s ignoring me

4 year old twin girls. Today for example DT1 is on the toilet - 3 times I asked her (from another room but very close) if she was finished. No answer.

DT2 - would you like a drink of milk - no answer. So no milk. When I bring her sister some she cries that she wants milk ๐Ÿ˜ค

itโ€™s the one thing above almost everything else that drives me mad

AIBU that this irrational (or rationally??) gives me the rage?

what do your kids do that really annoys you?

:What do you mean we are going out now...why didn't you tell me??!! I didn't know we were going to X!! You never tell me anything"

After a 30, 10, 5 min countdown, a reminder the night before and that morning AND it's written on the blackboard that we hung up in the kitchen because you said you never knew what was happening and when.

AAARGHHH!

This sounds more like my DH ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ

My 20m, keeps spitting milk or water everywhere. Likes to put it in his mouth, then spit it out in a bowl and then drink it, or spit it on on the table then fling it around with his hands splashing it everywhere!! ๐Ÿ˜ตโ€๐Ÿ’ซ

Standing on my feet. All. The. Time.

I now understand what my mum meant when she used to moan that we were always under her feet

โ€œWhatโ€™s for teaโ€
Tell them.
Two minutes later - โ€œwhatโ€™s for tea?โ€
Iโ€™ve already told you.
โ€œBut I wasnโ€™t listeningโ€
โ€But Iโ€™ve forGOTTenโ€

Guaranteed to ask again at least 3 times per child.

Anyone who ever asks me what's for dinner gets either "food", "a slice of soup" or "why do you need to know, it won't change"

So thereโ€™s the front door, through which everyone passes.
Next to the front door in the hall is the coat hooks, lots of them. Right there, right next to the front door. You know, to hang your coats.
BUT NO.
They all walk past these to head to the dining room to hang their coats and jackets on the back of the dining room chairs.

I know that it isn't Hotel Chocolate but I hate the way the presenters say Hotel Chocolat. It's spoiling Christmas in July for me.

Me: you all realise that the empty toilet roll tubes can go in the bin, yeah?
Me: you all realise that the wet bath mat will never dry if its not hung up, YeAh?
Me: you all realise that if the bin is so full that the lid won't close, you dont balance shit on top of it like Eejit Jenga, YEAH?!
