Dear fellow parents

[Pete]

Hey, you started it!

I did?

 

[virgovictoria]

Let's just hope for your sake, Pete, that boy remembers to wash his hands in the not too distant future after the sock and before the donuts...

 

[meangirl]

I did?

Well, you started the thread. You should have known what a box of mangled donuts would lead to. :shrug:

He's only 9, I have a few years before monkey spanking becomes an olympic sport for him.

[Pete]

Thank you.

And on that note... I think I'm gonna indulge in my own fiction for a bit! Just started a new book - gonna go read a chapter or two...

My boy will be 4 this Dec, and He's always playing with his.....

Went into the bathroom last night when he was bathing/playing in the tub, he had a raging boner and was hanging his tub toys from it

When will it end

When he is paying for the food himself.

:shrug: it's also a convient place to hang the wash cloth

Kids learn by example...Like father, like son

 

[cege]

As most of you know I have a 9 year old son who I refer to as "Boy". Boy rocks, he is funny, good natured and I like to think he is fairly smart.

So I was wondering at what age I can expect him to open food packages like a civilized human and not a savage beast starving to death. I also cannot seem to impress upon him how to "close" the package after he has secured his snack.

Now I have suffered (not really suffered but I couldn't think of a better word) through 9 years of horribly mangled cereal boxes and I have pretty much taken it in stride. However day before yesterday I got some groceries. Yesterday morning Boy, a funny, good natured and smart kid mangled the Hostess donut box and snared a powdered morsel of bliss. After scolding him I figured that he had finally gotten the picture until tonight when I opened the cupboard and found a package of mangled saltine crackers still open with cracker shrapnel laying about.

When will it end

My son is 16 and he still does that to the cereal. It gets on my nerves. Plus I normally would only open a corner of the cereal bag and then fold it down when I'm done but he rips open the whole bag and doesn't seal it back up. My 10 year old daughter does better than him and is more independent.

Never. It is gender related.

Nope, my 11 year old boy and 12 year old girl do the same thing. I'm constantly walking on cocoa puff balls around the counter.

 

[Agee]

Sounds if boy is a bit impatient, he'll grow out of it once he has to buy snacks on his own dime...

Have to sympathize with Boy on some of the packaging. Had my share of sweeping-up package contents after a tug-o-war with the bag. Now I just use a knife...

 

[Sweet 16]

When will it end

Never. My 50 YO hubby, aka my other "kid", still hasn't learned. Only an act of God will change this behavior.

Speaking of "trust, but verify"... for the past few months, our cellphone bill has been padded for "data downloads" by my son. When asked what the heck he needed to download, I was told about the game or two... he mentioned the song downloads... then there was Weatherbug. But I really don't recall hearing about "FunGirl Wallpaper" or "Maxim Girls"... I guess he forgot about those and will be quite suprised to see a printout of all the download details for the past few months when I get home...
