Re: Randoms
What are you "ughhhing?" I see at least two ughhh-ables (job and phone)
do you have more than one kid?
Floyd is a frequent source of interest and entertainment, especially since SBP has vowed to stop talking about her cheating H on the nest.
If James is being a butt and Jenny's just loafing around peacefully, I say to H, "Jenny is winning today." Or if Jenny tries to eat poop but James is being adorable, I say, "James is the favorite today."
This.
If there's a trend, then yeah, that sucks, but this alone seems like a joke and overreactions.
I'm under TSD's lampshade in that I find ML annoying.
My random is that I finally feel not nauseous this week and now I can't stop eating. I nearly ate a whole block of sharp cheddar today. I felt gross for like 30 minutes and then I ate the rest. With some rye crackers. And I'm still hungry.
I didn't go read the whole thing, but from what was pasted here, I read more frustrated about cleaning up puke in general (because she's obviously not old enough) not pissed that the kid is doing something malicious.
Nope. Is this "you'll understand when you are a mother...of more than one?"
I read this as she expects a 3 year old to puke in a bowl she carries around the house and that she's pissed she did not:
I have been making her carry around a puke bowl. Every time I see her - "where is your bowl Lila?"
While I was STILL cleaning the carpet, she walked by with her bowl. good. next thing I know - G comes in yelling - "mom - she's puking again!!!"
I walk in the kitchen and she is barfing ALL OVER THE FUUCKING FLOOR WHILE HOLDING THE FUUCKING BOWL IN HER HANDS.
what the mother fuuck have I done to deserve this shiit today?
I know she just threw up, and that sucks... but I'm honestly kind of mad at her. How do you just hold the stupid bowl in your hands and REPEATEDLY vomit on the floor, cabinet and stool sitting in front of you?
she's 3 and a half. I don't think this was too much to ask. damn.
I vote RETARDED.
i have two kids and i have a tough time with this. and then i realised that i definitely do have a favorite, but that i feel lucky that both kids are at completely different phases in life, so i can like them both better but in different ways. which made me realise i don't really have a favorite, but more favorite things about each of them.
and i definitely have the "this boy was better today so i prefer him" stuff going on some days, too.
I like one of my dogs better which totally snuck up on me and really surprised me when I realized it. And funny enough it's the naughty one I prefer. :-)
A little bit. yeah.
I'm sure you have noticed your own child go through phases where you wonder - "who is this disobedient small person and what have they done with my sweet child?"
It's not impossible to imagine that if one child is being very good, and the other one is having a difficult day, that you would "prefer" the good kid.
Now - it's how you actually act that matters. I try to show love to all three, equally, all the time. Sometimes I fuuck it up. I'm human - I'll own that. lol
Ok, yep, I'm on board with the side eyeing now.
I don't see what is so humorous about getting pissed about a 3 year old not being able to vomit in a bowl. If it was a joke, good for you all for having such wonderful senses of humor. I didn't think she was kidding about the preferences.
I get throwing around retarded and gay is acceptable over on ML, I don't think the same can be said over here. Feel free to move along and stay on your own board if you don't like others opinons.
I'll give you that.
You also put a lot of yourself out here, so it is easier to notice your stories. I really don't mean to put any judgment on this. I just happen to be having the same thing happening in my house right now, so I noticed it.
You also seem to be pretty stressed out right now due to your husband. I know that if I was going through that, it would be hard not to get short with the kid(s). It really stood out to me when you were TYPE IN CAPS HULK SMASH about the puke, but then all, "whatev kid, pee away," the next day. I just think you may need a stiff drink or three and a night in a hotel by yourself SOON.
andrea yates. that is all.
hey I'm just quoting winged, blame her.
ETA: wait I thought of something better to say; I bet andrea yates' kids couldn't puke in a bowl either.
oh dear, I crack myself up.
Ha!
As for not taking it so seriously, it's just because we know Floyd and are familiar with her posting style. I'm sure you aren't since you stay on your own board all the time.
Favorite picker! I appreciate your honesty.
It's okay, I'm my mom's favorite child. As I should be. I'm awesome.
I plan on having two kids and make them compete for my affection via Double Dare style competitions. Loser gets slimed.

dude... my daughter projectile puked all over the couch and carpet. I had to gut my living room and scrap that crap up. It smelled SO bad and was thick as mud. I went through many rounds with the carpet cleaner. I made a post about that too... did you see it? Meanwhile - I trying to take care of her being sick, my 4 y/o and a three month old baby and get dinner ready.
Then - she sprayed down the kitchen. It wasn't a fun evening by any stretch of the imagination. frustration and anger ensued.
My son was bee-bopping around in the bathroom and got some pee drops on the seat. This is NO where near the same. sorry.
btw - I'm loling at TYPE IN CAPS HULK SMASH. that is an awesome visual and it pretty accurate for how I felt. so I guess I'll own that too.
wee!
Nope she didn't but you all got riled up enough to post about over here it to defend her. Which is fine but everyone is entitled to think what they want. Most of you only come over and post here when you don't like something that is said.
I feel sad that the only thing you have to offer to this board war is to repeat "retarded" over and over. Surely you could come up with something else to get our collective goat? This is just lazy warring on your part.

+1
and also
Floyd is just a poor put upon mother and not some serious crazypants. I think I'll meet her at GTG.

I would HULK SMASH the shiit out of things if I were taking care of one sick kid, one "regular" kid, one baby, cleaning and making dinner at the same time. Why the foff are you doing all of this all by yourself?
11/11/11 = 5 years. Woah!
oh God. please don't
