So I had to go with DH to Dayton an HOUR away to pick up his broken down semi that finally got into the shop and fixed while he hasn't been making any money. And on the way home, I hit a deer. It is pretty nasty, but not totaled and I have liability insurance on it. Great now I am broke due to a long dry spell with no DCK's and down a vehicle.

Dcg slaps mom in the face at pickup. I sternly tell her that is not okay. She starts crying. Mom gives ME the dirty look

108 degrees today.


Need I say more?

The whining, tattling and screaming has gotten on my nerves! Is it time for you to go home yet?

At the risk of being flamed:

My one SA dcb is a Pain in the rear. His parents (mostly mom and she rules the roost) think the sun shines out of his batooty and he can do no wrong. They allow him to talk back and argue ("isn't he so smart?! He's going to be a lawyer, no doubt!" )

No one else can stand this child. Other kids, teachers, adults, neighbors, etc. I just got an text from a neighbor saying she hopes her kid isn't in the same class as the SA dcb next year. He's just THAT obnoxious. But mom believes everything he says because you know how 6 year olds always know what's going on.

Tomorrow is his last day for the summer, and next school year I won't have a spot for him.

I also have had spots to mysteriously disappear. ::

Was supposed to have my licensing renewal inspection this morning but rep had to reschedule yesterday afternoon for a couple of weeks. No biggie except now it's raining and supposed to rain all day (forecast had said dry). I have a delivery coming tomorrow morning I scheduled just so he wouldn't see pallets of stuff beside the house and now I'm going to have 8 ton of pavers and sand unoaded on muddy ground. GRRR

6 yr old dcb STILL puts everything in his mouth. Just now, dh's Pink Floyd blanket was the victim. I think will wash it and keep that one a secret.

Oh, that disgusts me. I have a nearly 4yo here who started doing it again after going more than a year without putting things in his mouth! I think that potty training is stressing him out. His mom has tried off and on to train him for a year, but he isn't ready-he CAN'T recognize that he has pooped his pants. Now, potty training is "on" again.

I'm so over this child and her parents coddling her every.single.time she grunts. She's 3yo and a perfect angel all day, my best behaved kid. But when the mom or dad showed up, good god.... it's borderline disgusting. She instantly starts crying (no apparent reason), they instantly scoop her up and "what's wrong with my little baby??" and "why are you crying? You're not in trouble, your perfect". She buries her face in their shoulder and whines. Not.a.single.thing.is.EVER.wrong.with.her. Sometimes, it's a full 5 minutes before they even acknowledge the sibling, a 5mo. The baby isn't the cause of the Oscar worthy performance she gives because she was doing this long before his arrival. This behavior doesn't affect my day or reflect in her behavior when they're not here, but it's like nails on a chalkboard to me. They're gonna have he!! to pay when she goes to K.

What an afternoon

Dcb1 screamed blue murder the entire rest period and had meltdown after meltdown after meltdown.

Dcb3 didn't get his full rest (see above) and had to be reminded to watch his language again and again and again.

Dcg5 spent the entire outdoor time picking fights with everyone, sulking and using inappropriate language. Threatens to tell on dcb3 to her mom. I separate them and then it's sulking b/c she can't do what he's doing.

Mom shows up and dcg5 loses it as soon as they get out of my eyesight.

Good grief. I can sense the email from dcm already.

Why do I have to be the mean one all the time. Dcg2 walks in this morning with a handful of worms and a bag full of candy. Mom says I told her she shouldn't take them. Okay... Why didn't you inforce. Started off my morning with 3 other families being dropped off at the same time tell dcg she couldn't come in until she put the worms out and handed over the candy.

:: My 3yo (that's right MY kid ) has been licking spider webs recently...
Anyone else have to book Bugs by David Greenberg? It'll change your life
