Totally f***ed off with kids moaning. Anyone else?

[charliecat]

Its too hot, its too cold, why do you make me things to eat that i dont like, I dont want too do we have to....They need a reality check. Poor poor children...they have no idea

DS1 informed me the other day "I can't eat carrots - they are too orange."

oh dear, you need a break methinks

maybe you should send them to brat camp? that would wake them up, no?

charliecat...are you looking through a window into my house?

Honestly I feel like banging their heads together ATM.

theyre not carrots, theyre orange twiglets from Mars

Charliecat - you sound exactly how I'm feeling right now. I've just had a big rage at dd1 (7). Nothing is ever good enough for her at the moment. Her tea is also not to her liking, I told her she had to sit at the table for her tea when she wanted to have a laptray and watch tv. . grrrrrrr!! She just asked me for a drink of orange squash. I was really sarcastic to her and said "Oh, do you think that I can do that okay, will it be good enough for you?"

Ive had a break, they have been at school all day LOL

ds2 tells me loftily in the car in front of his mates - ''you should go to college and get a decent education mummy, Then you could get a proper well-paid job so we could afford 'proper' holidays, abroad...''

I gently pointed out that I did go to college and had a proper job, whcih I had to give up as it didn't fit in with childcare and the reason we had no money now was because I had devoted 4 years of my life to baking frigging fairy buns for him and making fecking home-made play doh. And because I had been out of the work place so long, I now did 2 p/t jobs for a fraction of my previous salary so that I could be there to pick hiim and his brother up form school, And while we may not be able to afford to feck off to fecking portugal 3 times a year and bloody euro-disney like his precious friends, he had in fact been taken to Cornwall, Devon, Northumbria, a music festival and a barge holiday this year alone....[exploding with rage emoticon]

And yes, I did start the traditional mummy rant of children starving in Africa

OMFG fullmoonfield Im surprised your here to tell the tale and not in prison for murder.

I think the fact that he had a witness..I mean friend...in the car may have actually saved his life..!

I did reduce hime to tears though

ARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH one of mine had just came out with the legendary "im bored"....................................................................going to leave via a rocket to the moon I think.

save a seat for me mate, just packing

PMSL at this thread.

while i have been writing this post, btw, my 2yo threw a brick at his own naked foot, but the dramas over now. not broken i think, slathered in arnica and kisses etc.

anyhoo. all mine ure 3 and under. 3 of them. im laughing at this while i can, because the last laugh is on me, methinks, in 5-7 years time onwards when they are all in that stage together.
have booked my bed at the asylum for then

cc! where've you been???

at fullmoonfiend story!

Ha...a few hours peace

lol nappiesgalore

Meant your twiglets post not the one about your kid hurting his foot!!

milward - it was pretty funny (once the lack of seriousness of injury had been established, that is)

am laughing and reeling in horror at the same time to this thread

mine are 4 and 2 and i thought things could only improve........

please someone tell me it does get better sometime before they are 16 and i kick them out

hahaha nailpolish, you are dreaming. they only get smellier and more opinionated, right up till they about 20, at which point it plateaus... and then if youre lucky they start to realise you are a person too, and treat you accordingly

dont you remember growing up yourself??

on the bright side, they'll prob be nicer to everyone else on earth a lot sooner than that. just not you

gee, thanks nappiesgalore

LOL, no probs.

lol at this - thought i was on my own, my dd nearly 7 and very unlikely to make her 7 th birhtday is so fecking miserable about everything and yet every other parent and her teachers say "what a truly delightful child and such lovely manners"! ahhh...she actually can reduce me to tears of despair and anger.....
