Jacques- ADD runs rampant in my house. Wait, what was I talking about?

Yeah, haven’t been there…. lame man excuse, I know – couldn’t come up with something more profound…. I thought I was enlightening you (and your readers) though…. So, what about ADD? ADHD? Isn’t that pretty en vogue, these days?

So, we have all been there, except maybe Jacques who is blaming it on PMS… such a man excuse, Jacques. I’m on it… laps around the block, and send her out to catch chickens. I’ll let you know how it all works out.

Because of hormones and artificial additives, girls start ovulating at earlier ages. It is safe to assume this was a severe case of PMS.

Cha, we have 6- and 5-year-old boys who are to grocery stores what the Hanson brothers were to hockey in “Slapshot.” Oh, the carnage. We’re considering a return to a simpler way of life: dressing them in camo and turning them loose out the back door with a mandate not to return without 2 chickens and the components of a nice salad.

I’m glad I’m an old goat and these incidents are a long ago memory! (mine is 31 now). I don’t think there’s anything quite as compelling (or impelling) as a child that needs a little shuteye. Maybe if they ran a few laps of the parking lot…?

I was thinking of you today when I was at Publix and the cashier took Allison’s baby doll out of the cart and held her teasing that she was taking it! Fortunately, Allison was feeling generous about sharing today! All I could think about was you!

I send my bf to the supermarket with out 2 year old when he’s been bad or annoying. If he really pisses me off….he takes the 7 year old too. Both girls.

Ryan, Ryan.Ryan…to think you’re only four and just getting started! Imagine all the teachers you can torture with just one shrill burst or even the hearts you’ll break by piercing them with your wail. Then lo and behold you find your true path as a “screamer” in horror flicks. You’re a natural kid. Keep up the the practice. Mommy can take it even if the others can’t. They’re just jealous you’ve got a special talent!

yikes, nothing worse that the unreconcilable child! oh, the wailing! the stiff arched back! Jenny, clearly she would report you to the UN commission on human rights for unspeakable abuses, if she knew what it was!!!!

but sometimes you just have to chill…….it’s not always a bad as you think it is (i say from experience!) yes, the good parent is very embarrassed, but others are willing to ignore the tantrum!

(can’t you shop in the evening when hubby can watch over them?)

It must be universal. My oldest chose the deli counter to drop in front of and just lose it – every trip. Never figured out why. You would have thought I’d learn, but did it every time, like an experiment I kept taking her back until it became kind of funny, like a stupid kid trick.

What a mean, mean mom, you are … deciding to feed your family rather than giving in to your daughter’s bad mood! ( – :

My husband used to have a single friend whose child-tending advice was to tie them to the coffee table and stick a sock in their mouths. Wonder how socks and duck tape would work in the supermarket?
