I feel for you! I'm a bit sick of kids this week, why aren't they quiter? mine is okay on his own, but get a couple more and it's mayhem! I tend to get annoyed with the parents as well though, my friend thought it was fine the other day to take her kids trousers and underwear off (cause he'd wet himself), and sit him on one of my cream dining room chairs to eat lunch! I was seriously annoyed!

Greta (goodreadsgreta) | 4545 comments my daughter is driving me nuts today!
so far, just this morning, she has dumped the cat's dry food into his water dish, tried to stick things into the electrical outlet, taken her brothers electric toothbrush and put it in the cat dish, ripped one of her brother's books, and pretty much been at my heels every step of the way!

Oh dear! sounds like a 'fun' day! mine has screamed asda (walmart) down. granny was very embarrassed! He also shoved his foam letters into the hover hose, and asked me to pick the yellow bits out of the green play doh. probably a good job we don't have a cat!

I have to look after my cousin a lot in the six weeks holiday, for my uncle. Her mum thinks it's a great idea to give her those "Monster" energy drinks before hand!
Child + Energy drinks is an awful combo when she's already hyper!

Kids wetting themselves/being sick isn't exactly an uncommon thing, shouldn't she have a pair set of clothes in case?

You would think. the best of it was she had a spare set of pants and didn't bother to put them on him! The same person complains about her child being hyperactive - then gives him lucozade. it doesn't take a genius to know that sugar and caffiene are not going to help.

Try two little devils one ginger - the myths about how ginger kids are true my sister was evil - and one get blonde who are always hyper

My 2nd cousins just moved to about 25-35 minutes away they have twins who I can say are very troublesome and I have been called in for babysitting duties and I just know that will be a very long day or night two toddlers who are about 2 or 3 running around which love to steal cake tins - with cake in it - a climb into cupboards steal phones and run around.d the garden with a brush held above his head charging at the other

OMG! That is crazy. although they do say that you're more likely to have twins if you're really young or really old. I don't know how people cope though, or maybe their kids just sleep more than mine does!

I have something like 8 sets of twins between both sides of my family. You have no idea how terrified I was of having more than one baby at a time! I even had great, great aunts that were triplets and that was a really long time ago. All 3 children and the mother survived childbirth and that was pretty much unheard of.


message 2976: by Greta (new)

Greta (goodreadsgreta) | 4545 comments I feel very bad. I just wrote a review for a Netgalley book, that I believe was written by a teen author. It wasn't positive. :( Hopefully, the author will take it in stride though.

I always feel bad writing a review for 1 or 2 stars book moreover when it's a debut. Just like what I did 2 weeks ago which I got from NetGalley too.

Jalyn (jalynnie) | 3827 comments I'm considering finishing my breakfast, getting ready and then going to the coffee shop down the road to drink coffee and read while all 3 of my kids are in school. I've always wanted to do that, but I've never done something like this on my own before and it's strange!

I know what you mean. I hate writing bad reviews. Sometimes if it's an indie author I don't publish them on the blog, just on goodreads and amazon as a sort of concession. It can't be helped though, if you don't like it you don't like it.

The back of her car smells like urine too - why do people say their kids are potty trained when they're not, just so they can boast about how great a mother they are?

Abi (abi_gr) | 27659 comments I went shopping earlier, and it was raining.. My thoughts went back to a zombie apocalypse (I really need to read less zombie books..) and i realized, not only would i die from asthma, i'd probably fall down a cliff or something.
My glasses got totally soaked, and i couldn't see a thing. (Can someone please invent some windscreen wipers for glasses?) Knowing my clumsiness, i'd fall over something while running, and break my glasses. I wouldn't be able to see thing, and end up killing my self in the process.

That is so annoying! I also find it annoying when you open the oven door and your glasses steam up. It ultimately causes burns!

Urgh, i know! I've nearly dropped stuff from the oven because of it!

Jalyn (jalynnie) | 3827 comments Today was not a good day. I cut my hair off and it makes me look like a boy, then I tried to take my 4 year old shopping with me and it was a nightmare. Seriously, I took a picture of myself in the car while I was waiting in the car line at school and you can see my 4 year old in the background with an angry look on his face and his arms crossed over his chest. *Sobbing* Today sucked! BUT I just went to the hospital to see my friend and her brand new baby and my hubby is taking me to dinner and a movie now so hopefully my night will be better than my day!
