To be fed up with the lot of them...

[Reallytired]

The child has been fighting, the cat has been fighting. (With other cats and other children, not each other!)

I feel like banging their heads together. To failing that banging my head on the nearest wall.

Anyway I sent the child to his room and the cat has joined him (by choice). However I don't think the cat considers it a punishment.

I swop you for a child with chicken pox who has screamed all day but refuses to take any medicine or have any cream smeared on his spots. It takes 2 to hold him down adn there was only me today.

Plus 2 cats who never shut up yowling. All Fucking Day. Every day. If you shut them outside they sit at the window and yell so you can hear htem. And stare at you.

Please oh please tkae mine.

Well son has ezcema at the moment so I can sympathise with you about the creams. I put him on the naughty step for 5 minutes until he agreed to co operate with his creams.

Would you like our fecking cat whom I found trying to eat the kids' tea?

cats and kids, bloody nightmare

My 2 cats fight the minutge they are both in the house, as do DS's!
DH has just had to put both cats out as they are fighting again, after DS1 has been sent to bed early for fighting with DS2!

yes. I will join you.

Crap night Sunday night with poorly diabetic boy. Crap morning trying to unweld him from me for school. Dragged self around the housework and sainsbury's, only to return to a massive pile of 'it' and stench. Thanks cats. Same cat got me up at 2.30 am having run away and hid when I tried to put her out at night (there's a cat door and comfy bed forthem in the garage - our back door is glass and can't fit one.

Our cats are sadly gone now, but they used to poo in choice places to let me know they were hacked off- classics included on the wires behind the TV, where it dried and caked on before we tracked down where the smell was from, right outside my bedroom door in the middle of the night- urgh!- and once I came down to cat's diarrhoea on the gas cooker Cleaning it out of all the little holes etc was the worst thing I think I've ever had to do!

maybe not so sad about their demise now...

dare I add DOGS that bark at 5.30am cos he needs a wee (and to look at rabbits and sniff grass and generally tit about) after I'd been getting up at 1am, 2.30 am and 3.30 am with DS2 and DD teething and having bad dreams!!!!...boy do I look good today (NOT!)

Is it all of your cats shitting in my front garden so my kids can't play out there until I've cleaned up the 19 poos the little feckers have left?

I say kill 'em and cook 'em. There's good eating on a fat one.

Incidentally, whilst I'm in a bizarre frame of mind, why is sending to their room (where all of the toys and books and big comfy bed are) ever considered a punishment for anyone?

I do it to DD1. And I really don't know why.

I wish someone would send me to my room.

dd (6) & ds (3) were both sent to their rooms this evening after being seriously rude to their daddy.

ds let me dh put his PJs on & put him into bed.

dd lay in the middle of the floor screeching "I don't want to go to bed, I won't, I hate my bed, I want a drink, I hate bed, I won't sleep, I will yell, I will scream, I will make noise!!!"

Whilst this went on I calmly undressed her & got her into bed.

Then I stood outside the door & heard her telling her teddy how much she hated her room & that when she is a grown up, she & teddy will have a much nicer room

That was at 6.10pm.

Ds got out of bed at 6.20 & shouted: "XXXX will you cry quietly 'cos I am tired & you're keeping me waken" Who needs to yell when ds does it for me

I agree with rooms not really being a punishment as they usually find something to play with... that is why most of their toys are able to go into drawers with wheels that are wheeled out when it's punishment time

Oooo. That sounds hideous. You have my sympathy you poor bugger.

I wonder what teddy thinks....

He'll probaby just have to grin & bear it

arf!

No more sympathy for you then.

That was awful.

OOooh I am awful!
