Anyone Want My Older Two Kids?

[giramomma]

DS is good at cleaning bathrooms top to bottom.

DD is good at entertaining younger children.

ETA: I need to blow off some steam, and not ready to get dressed to leave the house yet.

Oh, boy! My friend used to make his bad kids wash the walls. H said he had the cleanest walls in Florida.

How much are you welling to pay me?

I am welling to bet, you will not pay that amount

[zibazinski]

How old are they? You might be able to get good money for them!!

DS is 10. DD is 6.

Normally they really are good kids. And I know they are tired.

But for some reason, they feel it necessary to expect me to do everything for them.

No thanks. At 14 & 16, I am on the downhill slide with mine.

Say "Nope" and leave the room.

I'll trade you your two oldest for my youngest.  He's a clinger.  It's maddening for me who needs more personal space than most to have someone attached to my leg 90% of the day.   If his brother is here, he can distract him, but today it's just me and mini-me.  We're going out to mow soon.  Always fun with a 45 pound kid in tow.

When my sister wanted to get rid of her youngest, I told her that she could probably get more for her parts than her daughter as a whole.  2 kidneys, lungs, liver, heart.....those have got to be worth something on the black market.

at  The Walk of the Penguin Mich. Never thought of that when my son was little. I just tried to flush him down the toilet to hide the evidence

I didn't read anything but the subject line...I may be interested in a trade.  My 17 and 20 yo for your (to be discovered when I go back and read the thread.)

It would only be temporary, just until I like them again.

Funny, I have no problem imaging you flushing a kid. Not in a mean way or anything. Just holding the little bugger over the commode, giving him/her the stink eye and saying in a nice, low voice, "You tell ANYONE that you saw Mommy drinking her afternoon pick-me-up from a sippy cup, and so help me kiddo, I will prove to you that your little butt WILL be flushed faster than the last goldfish you promised to feed!"

Send DS over... I have two bathrooms in need of cleaning. Can DD entertain dogs?

Yes, as long as they aren't huge dogs.
But she can dust.
And she did most of the muffin making this morning.

Thank you for your offers. Today, I believe, I will keep them.

For the time being.

Since you are keeping yours, anyone want a three year old? She's wonderful for everyone except me. This week she learned to say she doesnt love us anymore for no apparent reason other than to be mean lots of crying and time outs over here.

Our version of "I don't love you anymore" is "you aren't my mommy/daddy anymore". I just laugh and tell him that's okay, he's still my little boy any way. Isn't it lovely when they throw darts at you just because they can. They are searching for those buttons at 3, sneaky little buggers.

[giramomma]

I haven't gotten the "I don't love you." YET.

But my 2 yo will tell me "No." Just because she can. Even when she means yes. Then if you go by her "no" when she means "yes," she gets all pissy at you.

My tween befuddles me. I don't think I'm cut out for it. Yesterday the kid held my hand. In Public. He hasn't done that in years.

I have a 13 year old up for grabs.

On our last trip she was demon possessed (she was on her period) and felt the need to tell me I was fat (I am 135 pounds 5'2), ugly (I am no beauty queen, but you don't have to tie a pork chop around my neck to get the dog to play with me), a horrible mother, and selfish. Why? Because I made an appointment to get a pedicure and she wasn't able to get one.

16 DD(17 next month) 12 DS (13 in March). Great kids, but gosh are they pigs at times and the non-stop talking. I know that I will regret this, but just for some peace and quiet would be nice.

 I'm not sure where they get the lazy/don't really care attitude from, but it's driving me nuts! Good news is that they are starting school next Monday. Oh, wait....it's just going to get crazier, whom am I kidding.
