I can dispense disinfecting soap, turn it on and the whole bathroom will be washed while I sleep!<br />I also refused to be a short order cook for dinner. To take it one step further, I told my children that anyone who complained was required to eat all the offending food before they leave the table. Insulting the cook is not part of table etiquette! They don't have to eat it, but don't offend the cook!<br />I love your posts!Hoppershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10001238507047800539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141117436603724178.post-86734562647355866392010-08-09T23:31:25.997-07:002010-08-09T23:31:25.997-07:00Lots of new info.

They won't starve. Maybe you could get earplugs? Or do self-hypnosis or something so you can't hear them? Like, a certain key phrase could trigger a hypnotic state and it could only be broken by the sound of the bathwater running?The Wizzlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04836090881894636555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141117436603724178.post-23536886467294483282010-08-09T21:03:32.230-07:002010-08-09T21:03:32.230-07:00First, I think you are a fabulous teacher. What a...First, I think you are a fabulous teacher. What a great calling for you! Second, hahahaha! Love the concrete with drain idea. Third, my kids are picky as can be too. It's really annoying. Fourth, I made peanut butter chocolate rice krispy treats today just because I wanted some, then I had the boys carry some to the neighbors just so I wouldn't eat them all myself because I would. Why do we eat when we are stressed? And finally, me too on the back to school. Can't wait!Colleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08016113189474926492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141117436603724178.post-12617570788945327972010-08-09T20:17:52.789-07:002010-08-09T20:17:52.789-07:00i hear ya, dude. chloe went to bed after having 6 ...i hear ya, dude. chloe went to bed after having 6 grapes for dinner. ya, that's right- 6 grapes. <br /><br />fun! are you replacing the carpet downstairs? or putting carpet upstairs?angiedunnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03607569272952477909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141117436603724178.post-63555156311930870512010-08-09T18:21:45.855-07:002010-08-09T18:21:45.855-07:00Kids complaining about dinner caused the invention...Kids complaining about dinner caused the invention of my well-used phrase, "Did you mean to say, thank you, darling mother?!?"<br /><br />Hang in there Mom! Maybe when you get more sleep you'll need less cookie dough.

They used to eat almost anything--now they eat practically nothing without complaining. I'm a firm believer in home-cooked dinners, but the crying and whining makes me want to resort to chicken nuggets and burritos for the rest of my life. It's HARD!!!!Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17065383230513706402noreply@blogger.com
