The joy of having kids
« on: April 06, 2016, 02:33:23 PM »
So my husband and I went to go pick up our Playstation 3 and it turned it wasn't really broken, it had a broken comb in the player and he took it out and it played the discs fine. My husband and I both had the same ideas about who might have done this. It costs us 20 bucks for the broken comb. My daughter once put these little stuffed toys in our VCR and it made this jamming sound and I had to pull them out. Our son never did anything like this but he did put a TV remote in a glass of water once and the TV remote still worked fine luckily. But my daughter did once throw one of my son's Disney books in the bath tub filled with water. I can remember I did a lot of shitty things when I was a kid and it doesn't stop at three and my baby brother broke my mom's record player when he was about eighteen months. But we all sure get payback from our own children.

I know this is supposed to be a humorous thread. but I have spent a significant part of the day consoling the PR because a guy she liked in school died.  I am so tired of tears and "hug me"s.  At least it's sadness and a reasonable reaction to Stephen's passing.  But it sure got old.

Mine just got a new steady girlfriend.

It's been almost 2 years now I think since I was traumatized by the mother of the last one arriving drunk on Saki after her daughters birthday celebration at the Chinese restaurant...then puking in her truck and passing out on my sofa.

...and I liked her so much better than the psychotic bible thumper/super mom with 10 kids that was the mother of the one before her.

I am scared. Really, really scared.

My youngest son liked putting things in the VCR  toys, remote controls and once a peanut butter and jelly sandwich  :2thumbsup:   Wait till they get older and the teen drama begins. :zombiefuck:

  No lasting regrets about being childless.  Parenthood is a brutal job, and I'm not up for it.  :P

In my job I am a carer for elderly people, many of which have dementia. In a lot of cases dementia causes a child-like mindset.
If I spend my actual working hours looking after people with a child-like mindset while getting paid for it and having some of the people being genuinely pleased and thankful for my service, the last thing I want to do is look after actual children without any rewards.  :headhurts:

  Yeah, actual children can seem very ungrateful.  My mother said so all the time.  :headhurts:
