The last time I had a car full of kids wailing "Why do we allllll have to go to Target? It's sooooo stupid!!!!" I turned around and screamed "WE'RE ALL GOING BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE A FREAKING CHOICE!!! DO YOU THINK THIS IS FUN FOR ME?!?!?!?" They actually behaved pretty well that day.<br />Fortunately, there's no school today and I have a ton of errands that must be done.Rocket Ma'amhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18048400855966871949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5382816224610988438.post-8719673473961396152010-10-22T19:33:24.110-04:002010-10-22T19:33:24.110-04:00The problem with teens is just the opposite, they ...The problem with teens is just the opposite, they only want to talk to you when you are about to get on a conference call with work and then shriek you never listen to them.Mrs. Tunahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04547957015150000116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5382816224610988438.post-68813183633446843622010-10-22T19:10:57.976-04:002010-10-22T19:10:57.976-04:00Ok, I know this solution to boredom may qualify me...Ok, I know this solution to boredom may qualify me as 2nd meanest mom, but this is what finally cured the constant, "I'm bored", at our house. Every time one of our little darlings uttered this after the age of 5, they were told that we could cure the boredom. They won the prize of going out in the yard and picking 10 weeds for every time they said "bored". Needless to say, they are no longer bored near as often as they used to be! (and our yard looked fantastic after the first week!)Misfit Mommy (aka the Antichrist)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06452239594796206385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5382816224610988438.post-24283088485636452252010-10-22T18:43:17.048-04:002010-10-22T18:43:17.048-04:00In our school district, we start an hour later, so...In our school district, we start an hour later, so like instead of school starting at 8:15 it starts at 9:15.

Why do kids never want to do the fun things we suggest at the time we suggest them and then later complain about never doing fun things? The other day I offered my daughter a lollipop for breakfast,(it was already a bad morning so why not fill it with sugar) and she didn't want it! Until later when she said she wanted a lollipop and I told her no and she complained i never let her have anything good.
