What's the most annoying thing your kid(s) do?

[nothingontelly]

Mine has to be every time I walk into the lounge the cushions and sofa need rearranging!!

Talk constantly and repeat themselves. Loudly.

Oh I just tell them to be quiet or go upstairs to be noisy because mummy has a headache. Can't be doing with unnecessary noise! Even though I'm surrounded by it all day long.

I feel bad about this but the way my DD age 6 says 'Mummy' irritates me. Slowly, slightly off key and rising upwards. It wouldn't be too bad if she didn't say it a billion times a day

Scatter their belongings all over the house. They have an entire floor to themselves, so why do they think it is acceptable to leave their stuff dumped all over the kitchen/dining room/hallway?

Ds 1, shouts out really loudly random sounds and will continue until someone yells at him to shut up.

If he isn't shouting out he is banging or tapping his foot, hand or arm on the table/chair wherever he is sitting or standing,again until someone yells at him to stop
.
Leaves crisp packets, wrappers, plates, cups, glasses where he is sitting and leaves the room.

Leaves shoes, trainers,books,bags,coats everywhere. I have to move his shit every time I want to sit down.

Leaves every single light on in every room in the house, day and night.

Apart from that lot, he is a doll!!

DS1's mountain of cuddly toys
They are all over the house by the end of the day.

DS2's pedantry and excessive use of the word 'technically'. He is his father's son...

Oh I can relate to many of these!

Rearranging the whole furniture and throwing a blanket on top and calling it a 'den'!

"mummy please read me a story"
"stick man lives in the"
"who's stick mans mummy? why does he live in a tree? Where is the tree?"
"stick nanny, because he is a stick, at the pa"- " STOP TALKING - YOU NEVER LET ME TALK"

this shit cam go on for hours about everything drives me bonkers

Dd has the ability to trash the room I've just tidied without making a sound. So I then walk past 20 minutes later and wonder if I imagined tidying up.

"I waaaant it! Miiiiiiiine!"

Breathe.

Says "mummy look" six million times a day. Usually I'm "looking" at something unspectacular like the way he's holding his cup. There's a limit to how many times you can say "oh?" In an interested tone, aarge!

Oh and insisting on taking number one current favourite toy to the park/supermarket/soft play. Then losing it and blaming me.

Whining. Just use words! Normal words in a normal tone! How hard is it?

these have made me giggle!
All of the above - especially the cushions, but I have my own shoe rack hell, if there is a shoe actually on the bloody thing at any given time during the day I wouldn't regret buying the dam thing.
I want a shoeless house, I hate shoes, if I hide the fuckers I can't leave the house.

Wee all over the toilet seat & floor !! Even my teenager hasn't master the art of picking the seat up and aiming !!!

Messy!!

Even the toothpaste is messy! I have come to buying my own and hiding it so it's all nice and clean. Even DH doesn't know!

Mam
Mam
Mam
Mam
Mam
Mam
WHAT!!!!
I didn't say anything

Not listen when I talk to them. Pour water all over the bathroom floor. Draw on walls/mirrors/floors/each other with toothpaste.

It's a good thing they're adorable.

For some reason, DD(4) feels the need to climb all over me when we're having dinner. Drives me absolutely batty!!!

Stop me from singing along to music in public... I'm embarrassing apparently!
I always threaten that I will audition for X factor if my rules are disobeyed :)

Ellie I gave up on a shoe rack a long time ago, waste of pigging space! Now I just shove them all in a giant wooden chest and shut the lid.... but still find them strewn all over the floor. I swear they do it to annoy me.

Oh dear God. All of them, every single previous post applies to my house
AND MY DD IS AN ONLY CHILD!

Try to involve me in their gaming arguments.

DD: 'Mummy, DS just blew up my house in Minecraft!'
ME: 'DS! Don't blow up DD's house!'
DS: 'But she forgot to save my WHOLE world in Minecarft last time! Why are you telling ME off?'
ME: 'DD, make sure you save DS's world!'
DD: 'But he deleted my amibo on Nintendo!'
ME: No idea what of this means! Just fuck off and play the fucking game will you? I thought this was meant to be an electronic babysitter to give me half an hour to MN cook dinner in peace?

DS has developed a real love for the sound that the car door handle makes when he pings it.

Despite having child locks on, and manually locking the car when I get in, every time he pings that bloody door handle my blood runs cold.

Turn round and he's in his car seat dancing away but using his door handle as a percussion instrument.

A shoe chest! I'm googling right now to find one preferably with sodding padlocks
