With the eldest I once told a gung ho 'got to have them potty trained before they start walking and talking sort': I figure if he isn't potty trained by 18 I'll let the army deal with it. <br /><br />I think she believed me...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14233273627995710806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2393244949461260226.post-53371076538466662502010-06-12T02:22:03.883-06:002010-06-12T02:22:03.883-06:00I'm not really sure why we're all in such ...I'm not really sure why we're all in such a freakin' hurry to potty train our children. OK, yeah, poopy nappies are gross, but way better than poopy underwear, pants, sheets...you get the idea!<br />Little Mr. Man, for all intents & purposes, is potty trained. He has gone for months without having an accident, but for some reason, lately he's decided there really is NO need to use a toilet. Why pee in a toilet and stop playing, when you're perfectly comfortable in pee stained clothing. My house smells like urinal; my son smells like a hobo. I need a holiday!<br /><br />to add to your patients/patience pet peeves: then/than. intents and purposes/intense purposes<br /><br />Have a great weekend & good luck with getting to that assignment.Naomihttp://maybetomorrowillbeabettermother.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2393244949461260226.post-30702501087621879502010-06-11T19:55:58.494-06:002010-06-11T19:55:58.494-06:00@ Jenn M -- Glad you like it here!

Your man's day off sounds suspiciously similar to my man's. <br /><br />I don't mind the rain. I do mind being stuck in the house with 6 kids who need to blow off energy but can't becuase they are sick/not dressed appropriately.Hethrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03414710584170041117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2393244949461260226.post-23516523742541342682010-06-11T18:39:29.560-06:002010-06-11T18:39:29.560-06:00It seems we all have similar "he who shall re...It seems we all have similar "he who shall remain nameless" people in our lives. Mine promises to take out the trash...and after several reminders and a hissy fit, he does....THREE DAYS LATER!! We both work full time, yet his days off consist of sleeping in, going for coffee with his friends, and playing on his computer. Mine? They're filled with housework, errands, gardening, and all the other stuff I don't get done during the week!!<br /><br />I have to admit, I have no grievance with the weather. Then again, I also have no small kids at home, and - having been born in England - I'm quite fond of rain..LOL<br /><br />Amen to the useless but stupidly overpriced fundraiser junk that comes home from the schools...I am SO thankful I'm past that stage (until fall 2011 when my grandson starts kindergarten).FlyBabySHEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03719285162083935330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2393244949461260226.post-82609533847661368262010-06-11T18:24:42.737-06:002010-06-11T18:24:42.737-06:00I hate the rain.

They were in these kind of Gumbo body things that you could hang on your kids bag. 5 mls...that's what...2 uses? Maybe?? Were they refillable? No. Guess how much they were....Sit down -- $10!!!!<br /><br />@ all men in general -- you won't DIE if you do something helpful.<br /><br />@ C -- WS. I've probably trained just as many kids (though, you have birthed all 10 of yours...Yikes!)

Your blogs remind me that I am glad I am almost done with raising children. IF I can just survive the last one and his graduation.

Seriously now tho...Ok the first one was a joke....<br /><br />Seriously now though; we have the same issue with garbage at our house. What is with that?<br /><br />Stay strong with the potty training...if we give then it takes longer. You are stronger than you know.<br /><br />I would like to air my grievences about my remain nameless also. Why is it that our day never ends and yet they need a list or they don't do it. I adore my nameless to death but wish this person would help more without coaxing.<br /><br />My new grievence to add to yours though is the schools that send useless stuff home to buy that is in no way educational. I am saving to take my children on a trip of their lives and quite frankly, don't want to buy a darn yo-yo.Chantillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00815704477320527247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2393244949461260226.post-40095151302641691262010-06-11T16:10:21.414-06:002010-06-11T16:10:21.414-06:00nice post. :)nice post. :)Chantillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00815704477320527247noreply@blogger.com
