My family is trying to drive me crazy :(

It's freezing in my house. Apparently when I commented, "it's unusually mild for August; we shouldn't need to run the AC so much," this translated to "crank down the thermostat to 60." I ended up wearing jeans, t-shirt, sweatshirt, wool socks, and big fuzzy slippers.

I decided to take a hot shower to warm up. "I'm taking a shower now" translates to "Be sure to start a load of laundry, run the dishwasher, and simultaneously flush every toilet in the house....repeatedly." No hot shower for me. :thumbdown

"I'm going to study now. Can you watch your movie without fighting for two hours?" is heard as "Feel free to turn into screaming banshess." :eek:

Last week, two of my children fought over a tater tot. :mad:

My mother let my ex in and he took my TV. :mad:

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

What do your SO's/spouses/children do that drive you crazy? :p

The last tater tot is always so damned good :laugh:

I will resist the urge to send you to time out. :p

The toughest thing about being a mother is giving up your McDonald's french fries. I love McDoanld's french fries. My mom used to always give me her french fries when I still hungry. I didn't realize the sacrifice she made until now..... :( :love:

:laugh: :laugh:

Your household sounds kinda populated! Yes, they are out to get tou :scared: :laugh:

Oh! You have to give up your fries? :( I'm like Joey on friends, will not share food ever!!!!! :laugh: unless you were starving, but if you want fries, get your own order! :meanie:

Sorry about the family and kids! Hang in there!! :thumbup: I can't believe he took the tv. That calls for war! :mad:

The best revenge is to steal his porn.

And here I thought I was the only one who went through this on a daily basis. Even the "go out and play" (PLEASE! because you're driving me NUTS) turns into "let's see how much blood can pour out of my face" or "how many teeth can I knock out" within five minutes. And doncha just LOVE the children's other favorite past time? The I-know-she's-got-a-big-test-tomorrow-let's-have-nightmares-all-night? This was my personal favorite on the MCAT eves. ;)

The only difference here is I have a current husband (who'se favorite past-time is to see how hard he can make it for me to get to the garage freezer with all the groceries in it, but he does deliver my morning latte to me while I'm in the shower), and two dogs: a miniature dachshund who is absolutely wonderful and a chocolate lab named Hershey who should have been named Doofus :D .

Oh I SO sympathize!

And the French Fry issue... it's not french fries here (I can certainly live without them). Here it's "does everyone have a drink?" before we go in the car. Of course NO ONE wants a drink. Until the car is about 2 feet down the driveway. Then it's "Mom... will you share your drink?" Remember A Christmas Story? (My mother hasn't eaten a hot meal in years...) Here it's "My mother hasn't had a beverage to herself in years" :laugh:

Hi there,
I used to get my best studying done in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit. I would often talk with my fiance who would wonder how I could concentrate with all the noise (screaming kids, alarms, bubbling hoses) and I would answer "What noise?"

njbmd :)

tater tots sound good right now.

mmmmmmmmm
taaaattttteeeerrrrr ttttooootttssss


Homer like shredder potatos

What do your SO's/spouses/children do that drive you crazy? :p[/QUOTE]

This morning I got asked "oh, you're taking a shower now?" After I was already in the shower. Yes, dip$hit, when water is flowing from the shower head and I'm inside naked with the curtain shut, that means I'm taking a shower.

Personal hygiene at my own discretion = priceless.

Just wait till the kiddo's are older . . . then you can put 'em to work around the house :thumbup:

HAHAHAHA! :laugh:

That is one of my all-time favorite movies. :thumbup: In fact, last year, there was a 24 hour marathon of it on TNT, I think. Naturally, when I tried to watch, someone would start hemorrhaging or some other silly thing to keep me from my movie, so I had to watch it in bits and pieces. :D

I studied for my aniphys final at Chuck E. Cheese. They don't let kids out the door by themselves, and to leave with ANY adult, everybody's hand stamps have to match. I set the pizza, drinks, and tokens on the table and was left alone--at least until the tokens ran out.... :laugh:
