Things I have wanted to say in the last 24 hours:
Get your fingers out of your mouth, you are not a baby.
Oh your fingers burn? maybe that's because you have been sucking on them like a baby.
I don't give a shit about your mom's this or her boyfriend's that.
Do you even know what "hilarious" means?
It is not "tastudess" it is "tastes". Are you sure you are almost 8?
Shit does not grow legs and come to you, so "if you really want..." get off your ass and get it or shut the hell up and if you say it a FIFTH time you will get NOTHING.
Do I have "Dad Tracking System" on my forehead? How about you go look for him instead of asking me and when I don't know just sit down like it wasn't important anyway.
There is no "we" when it comes to the baby. "we" will not be changing her clothes. YOU will not be providing any care for her because she isn't a toy.
If that effing DVD player isn't shut off when you leave for your moms it just may have an "accident" in the eleven days it is playing 24/7.
Get your disgusting ass fingers that you have had in your mouth and god knows where else, off my baby.
Get your fingers off the MOVING tires and quit looking at me like "what are you gonna do about it?"
Pick up the shoes you left in the middle of the walkway or at least have to respect for others to move them over.
I know this big black bag I am holding as I am trying to get out the door must have been in your way as you darted in front of me and ran into it so I hit the door jam, I will try not to be in your way next time. Oh and don't worry about apologizing.
The "Thank you Daddy" for him making dinner was awesome to hear. Good to know you do know how to say "thank you" without being prompted. At least to one person here.
Saying "I'm hungry" or "I'm thirsty" over and over and over isn't going to stop your feet from moving to the kitchen and getting a cup or a snack, but it will make mine move even faster to another room.
I don't know where a SEVEN YEAR OLD left his clothes from his moms house. WHY ARE YOU ASKING ME??? I can't fit in them! Must have been the EFFING BOOGEYMAN again since he is the one that does EVERYTHING ELSE!!!!!!!

Isn't it amazing that we
Isn't it amazing that we aren't allowed to say any of that? With our own children, we are allowed to discipline them and teach them better. But for skids we are relegated to just watching the train wreck - without a peep out of us.
Oh I think I have said most
Oh I think I have said most of that stuff, if not over the last 24-hours at least over the last year. I say it a bit more gently (usually...) but I'm not above pulling out the sarcasm bomb on my skids ("Excuse me, do your shoes belong here where I can't even close the front door because they're in the way? Didn't think so."). They might not be mine, but they are children in my house and therefor I do have the right to correct them on their behavior. Luckily the Hubs backs me up on this, so if they don't listen to me they know he'll chew them out not only for misbehaving but also for disrespecting me. And BM can't say a damned word, because I know for a fact that her fiance is tougher on the kids than I am (and they like me better than him too!).
I can't imagine what it would be like with a baby in the mix; we have a hard enough time with a kitten! Of course, it's easier to teach the kids to respect the cat's boundaries since failure to do so get them scratched!
That MY comment I understand
That MY comment I understand well. I have been trying for over two years to get that to stop. We are family. Like it or not. Reminds me too much of dogs pissing on things trying to establish territory.
Love this post! I've had LOTS
Love this post! I've had LOTS that I've wanted to say in the last 7 years! A lot of the time, though, I'll just give DH a look and he knows exactly what my gripe is and HE'LL speak up about it (ie. "SS10, eat with your fork, not your hands! And don't shovel food into your mouth like that!" and "No, SD9, you CANNOT have ANOTHER slice of pizza. You've already had 3 just an hour ago and SM hasn't had any yet." Gotta love him!). All I try to do is stress that the skids' bad behaviour is rubbing off on BS5 (which is DOES) and DH makes sure that the skids know the rules of the house
