My very first Venting Thread vent: If I never see another snowflake for the rest of my life it'll be too soon!!!!! First it was a storm that brought close to a foot of snow. Then came a blizzard that brought 3 feet of snow. Last week, we got another almost 2 feet of snow and today...close to another foot and a half of snow. This is within a 3 week span of time. They're calling for the potential of 2 more storms later this week - Thursday into Friday and Saturday or Sunday, both also have the potential for being big storms. I know some of you get this every winter and love it but I've had it! (Honestly, I'm in awe! I don't know how you do it!!) There's literally nowhere to put the snow and it's been soooooo cold along with each storm . The snow banks surrounding my driveway are so high, I can't lift the snow I shovel high enough to clear them. It all comes right back down at me. A move to Florida is looking better and better with each storm!

My daughter lives in Vermont and she sent me a vent text this morning saying almost exactly this.

Why in the world would you put your newly potty trained child in a onsie?! I just don't understand people's lack of logic sometimes.

I don't even like onsies for my kids once they are walking well. It might be due to a gap in my fine motor skills though. Snaps are HARD ::

I hate onesies altogether, but those rompers with all the snaps don't bother me at all! My current 16 month old foster son just went into onesies today-the little turd started taking off his pants and diaper, so I put him in sleepers (with snaps), he opened two of them up, took off his diaper, and pooped on the carpet. So I then went to zip up footie pajamas 24/7. He STILL got his diaper off with those on (smallest size that I could get on him), so now, he's in a onesie. If he gets it off with that thing on, I don't know what I'll do!

When I booked my doctor's appointment a year ago for tonight at 6:00, I thought it was so convenient that I wouldn't have to close early...until I was reminded this past Monday that I need to fast for 12 hours with nothing but water. It's going to be a very long and hungry day! :dislike:

Backwards footed pjs (ala Nanny de!). Just get one size up, and watch her youtube tutorial on how to put them on- its under Tori Fees I think. If that doesnt work she has something else she puts on top of the pjs that makes it totally impossible for the kid to take off by themselves (cant remember what but search backward footed pjs on this site and I am sure you will find it)

I have a biter today. Hate having to tell the parent this happened.

[melilley]

I'm having a grumpy day today. I have 3 rambunctious boys, 2.5-3 years, today who just won't listen, one of which is my ds. One will do things and just smile when I redirect him. My dh keeps leaving things around and I have to keep picking up after him and when I say something, he acts like what he leaves around is no big deal, but I work hard to keep my house clean with 5 toddlers and a dh. And to top it off, I have a child who comes every other week and today is his day; he is very hyper also. I feel like all I'm doing is nagging, but they won't listen! If I get an activity out, they're fine, but as soon as it's done, free play is ridiculous!

One of my dcg's grandma's just picked up and I went into the bathroom I noticed that I had a big red spice from Italian dressing in my tooth. I'm 15 weeks preggo and can't seem to gain any energy. I can't wait for today to be over!

OK, my rant is over.

:: I have the same issue with the snaps. And since we change the kids standing up, they are extra hard to do. I understand that it's cold outside, but undershirts work just as well.

Or bibs?

I have a 15 month old, who dcm and dcd said went on the potty all day one day. I've tried it here a few times and she has actually went and when she doesn't, you can see her really trying...

Well one day, dcd asked me if she tried to go potty. I replied that she couldn't get her onesies off herself, so no. He replied saying she needs help. This family is semi-friends with ours, but I couldn't tell if he was kidding or not. But all I could think was, if she is going potty, why in the heck is she wearing a onesie, sometimes 2?!

I don't potty train that young, but I do sometimes let them try if they are interested.

2 yr old dcg who recently had a nasty cold arrives (with the parent who takes FOREVER to say goodbye to "princess"), 5 minutes later, green snot starts pouring out of her nose. 1 full hour of this, I take a picture of her face covered with green snot and text mom "Secondary infection set in, it's been constant since you've left".
Mom texts back: "Oh, do I have to come get her?".

Um... yes.
I don't want to spend our entire day running after princess with a box of Kleenex. Jeez.
