Thank heavens they are behind me! ROFL!<BR/><BR/>I almost wish I'd had a blog when my kids were young, but I was permanently so tired I was like the living dead and would never have been able to do it. You'd have loved it, though, reading about all the horrible things my kids did. <BR/><BR/>Take heart. They do grow up, and those traits that drive you insane right now will come in handy for them as teens and adults. Persistence, determination, the ability to think for themselves and not be 'yes' men all the time, curiosity, etc.<BR/><BR/>Yep. They'll be just fine. If they live that long.

He is a merchandiser's nightmare, and I've seriously considered bringing duct tape with me so I can secure his hands to his hips. I can't imagine trying to shop with three.

They put stuff out that they KNOW kids will want to touch, and come over all disapproving and sanctimonious when kids DO touch.<BR/>Doing the grocery thing, is something I insisted on doing alone when mine were younger.Suzehttp://dailyfrippery.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38477057.post-77976473330026875582008-06-26T20:42:00.000-04:002008-06-26T20:42:00.000-04:00My kids cannot keep their hands off of bouncy balls in stores. It doesn't matter what store we go to, they find the balls and throw them all over the place. I avoid taking my three kids anywhere at the same time unless my husband is with me. Three against two is much easier to deal with then three against one.Dawnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07083313061836800832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38477057.post-13732339609640927762008-06-26T18:49:00.000-04:002008-06-26T18:49:00.000-04:00Not laughing.

They don't work. <BR/><BR/>One time my spawn were playing "don't step on the green tiles or you'll get eaten by an alligator" down the cereal isle; they were towards the end when out of my mouth, like Sergeant Carter I yell You. Now. MOVE! <BR/><BR/>A little old man at the other end of the isle could be heard shouting back "MA'AM, YES MA'AM."<BR/><BR/>Not one of my finer moments.Queen Goobhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02579192188338877091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38477057.post-14955558333634560172008-06-26T05:59:00.000-04:002008-06-26T05:59:00.000-04:00OK - I am laughing out loud...I can TOTALLY relate! <BR/><BR/>Cheers!Laurahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08122365458052947125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38477057.post-14838256292430824342008-06-25T23:01:00.000-04:002008-06-25T23:01:00.000-04:00I'm with you.
