- WARNING - VENTING!!!!!!! -

OK - I have HAD IT with the boogers!!!!! I can't take it anymore!! If I find one more slimy, bloody, DISGUSTING booger wiped on the couch, or the seat of my car, or my infant son's blankie, I'm seriously going to lose it, people!!

SS4 has a serious problem with picking his nose and wiping it on whatever happens to be closest to him. This kid has boogers the size of Texas... and they are always bloody (like DH, he frequently gets nose bleeds)... and slimy! I'm so disgusted with this kid it literally makes me gag! I know he's only 4, but really... NOTHING that has been said to him about booger-etiquette has sunk in? NOTHING? I have NEVER, EVER seen him attempt to use a tissue on his own, despite the hundreds of thousands of times he is reminded... DAILY!! DS9 gets it, and he uses a tissue... SD7 gets it, and she uses a tissue... why can't he? I literally picked 3 boogers off of the couch when I got home from work last night! They were so big they caught my eye from across the room... I didn't even have to investigate to see what that 'blob' on the couch was... I knew as soon as I saw it. It is for this very reason that I do not allow any of the kids to use mommy's blankie (silly, I know, but when I wrap up in it, as I do every evening, I don't want to be covered in boogers, damn it!)... it is mainly to stop booger-boy from using it, but it wouldn't be fair to solely ban him alone from it. So I bought them all their own blankie's... super soft, just like mom's... but he still insists on using mine! And where did I find my blankie yesterday evening... on the floor of his bedroom, right next to his soiled underwear... apparently he had an accident yesterday (which is fine, accidents happen!) and used my blankie to cover himself up on the couch, instead of putting on clean undies and a new pair of shorts... all the while, having a booger-fest and wiping them all over the damn place! I swear you would think this kid was raised by animals! DS9 was never this filthy and disgusting... at least he didn't make it so blantantly obvious as SS4. I am just at my wits end with boogers! DH doesn't pay a damn bit of attention to what anyone's doing so he's no help in curbing the behavior! SS4 could be sitting on his lap wiping boogers all over him and he'd never know it... not if the TV is on! I just want to scream! I was ready to tell him last night, "If I find one more booger that you have wiped on any of the furniture or blankies, I'm going to make you EAT IT!!!!!!!!!!"... but I didn't... I just cleaned it up and cried out of sheer frustration! F*cking boogers... :sick:
