3 year old stops crying.
Me to 12 year old: next time he wants to transform into a car you better listen right away!!

All is calm in my crazy household once again.

8 year old sobbing hysterically
Me: What's wrong?
8 year old - My brother said there's a star on my shirt.
Me - Is there?
8 year old YES.
Me - So why is that a problem?
8 year old - I didn't want him to SAY it.
Me: Banging head

Me: (to brother) ????????? ..............Can't actually think of anything to say.......

Same argument. Mine just ends differently. He storms to his room and goes to sleep...no shower.

I know someone that has a rule. No shower = no bed. Sleep on the floor instead.

Oh. He wouldn’t care. He falls asleep in chairs , on the couch, the floor, at the table...this rule wouldn’t make a dent. Sigh.

Lol I have that my two year son!!! Can't Believe It

I’m constantly finding him with my blush brush all over his face and hair. It’s a fight we have each morning when I put in makeup. He thinks it’s a “frush” (brush) for his hair. I once washed his face and the towel was tan colored. He smeared foundation all over his face and hair. Oy!!

I smell a shiduch idea Tongue Out

Do spouses count? My dh is a sweetheart. So when a neighbor asks for a Chessed, he can't say no. Sometimes I have to put my foot down and explain that the person is taking advantage of him.

Off course spouses count.

What's the difference between a man and a boy? The price of a toy.

My 10 yo ds, whom I love with all my heart, is making me crazy.

Every time my baby cries he tells me she's hungry. If I tell him she's not, he wants to know exactly when I fed her last and for how long. If my answer isn't satisfactory enough he tries to force me to feed her again.

He should meet my 10 year old. We are up in the country and he spends the whole day “testing” me to see if I know where his three year old brother is. He insists that I have no idea how to take care of him.

19-month old daughter: “piiiiiizzzzzzaaaaa!!!!” (Crying hysterically)

Me: *takes her lasagna, trades it for another piece of lasagna, this time calling it “pizza.”

19mo: “thank you!” (Calms down and happily eats)

3-year old son: “why did you tell her it’s pizza?”

Me: “because she wants pizza.”

3yo: “but it’s LASAGNA!”

Me: “she likes to pretend it’s pizza, okay?”

3yo (in a volume spoken as if he’s trying to warn a small village of an impending invasion): “LASANGA!!!!!!!”

19mo: *looks up*

Me to 3yo: “shush!!! It’s called pizza now!! Got it??”

My kids started watching Harry Potter and are constantly asking me questions about it. Sorry, I can't explain 8 movies on one foot. Go read the books.

He seriously doesn't trust me with the baby.

How does he think he survived infancy? Banging head

I have this with my oldest. He came home from Yeshiva and doesn’t leave me alone . He freaks out that I’m not holding my one year old with two hands. And that I’m not being “careful” handling her.

Not my kid. But my nephew, he's 13 and has this thing if throwing his pants every single day in the hamper. Even though it's perfectly clean or if he wore it only a few hours. He changes from head to toe every day (like you should) including pj's.
But SOCKS. That doesn't need to be changed more than twice a week......

No amount of explaining helps.....

I threw a book in the garbage. My son took it out multiple times and kept telling me I will change my mind later and regret it so he is doing me a favor. Almost 9.

He is not my oldest. He’s just a little crazy🤪. And I do often tell him that he’s living proof that I know how to take care of kids, but I guess he’s not proof enough. 🤷‍♀️

It happens the other way around by me.

4 yr old screaming at the top of his lungs: Mooooommyyyy!!!!

Me: stop, drop, and run to see what's the matter

Him: I wasn't calling you. I was calling the other Mommy (6 yr old sister he's playing "house" with)

It's happened more than once, and I come running every time. I never seem to learn.
