random complaints about your kids

And sometimes he barges into our room and then acts scandalized if I’m in the middle of getting dressed. Uh, buddy, we told you to knock.

Along the lines of your mumbler, I have a kid who doesn’t get that if he is looking away from me it is hard to hear what he’s saying, especially outdoors. So he will look directly at me and say “Mommy!” To get my attention, then as soon as he knows I am listening, will start gazing around the room/park so I can’t hear a damn thing. And like your he gets frustrated when I make him repeat it multiple times.

One of my kids seems to wait until we get to the pool or the park to need to poop. And he takes like 10 to 15 minutes to do it. I feel like most kids don't like pooping in public but he's turning it into an art form.

Hmmm. I think my husband is your kid in several decades. Once we had to stop at the Dunkin Donuts a mile away so he could poop. Dude, we have multiple bathrooms. At our house. A mile away!

Oh I see we are married to the same man. Lol. I’m pretty sure that will be my oldest someday too. His poops have zero chill. He goes from zero to “I have to POOOOOOP!!!” In 5 seconds.

My 5 year old likes to get right in my face, close enough to inadvertently spit on me when he's speaking. It's gotten super annoying, any discussion of "personal space" has obviously not gotten through.

I can't tell you how many times I have had to send some nice stranger into the mens room to check on my son when he hasn't come out after 15 minutes. He will tell me he likes to think after a poop.[/quote

That is so cute!

Went to my kids' open house at school this morning. 4th grade son meets the teacher and then she says "put your supplies on the back table, then find the lollipop with your name on it at the front table." I tell him to go find his lollipop while I take his supplies. 10 seconds later he taps my arm and goes "why does my lollipop say Anna?" Sigh.

Is everything okay with your food?!” He does this daily.

Oh this is classic. Tell your DS that a stranger says thank you for making her laugh out loud at 6:27 am 😁

Our almost 7yo accidentally dumps his drink at least once a day. It's just part of his meal routine.

My kids love to show me things by shoving them in my face, approximately 10 millimeters from my eyes. Aside from it being annoying and rude, how many times do I have to tell them I cannot actually see anything that close??

Having to wipe my 5 year old son's butt on a daily basis.

Both of my older kids, 3 and 5, make these unattractive bulldog faces when you ask them to smile for a picture. They both truly think this is what smiling is.

My baby, 10 months old ONLY wants what the older kids are playing with. She will only play with her toys (and she has a ton being the third) when they older kids are at school. She will crawl across the house to try to take what the big kids are playing with. If they hand it to her, she wants the next thing they pick up. This morning she threw a fit trying to get to the pj bottoms the 3 yr old was taking off.

Baby screeches like an angry pterodactyl.

DS will have our public conversations loud enough for all to hear. Half of my responses are pleading him to lower his volume. He will even project while looking around ensuring attention. I would be more comfortable with a mumbler.

Right now DS has an ear infection and has been sleeping in my bed. He spends all night kicking me. I can't wait until he feels better and is back in his own room.

For the first 7 or so years of her life, my DD had to go poop the minute food arrived at any restaurant table. Literally, every single time. It was bizarre. Of course that meant for about 5 years, I had to spend 15 minutes at the beginning of every restaurant meal locked up in a smelly dirty restaurant bathroom while my food got cold. I really resented her for it!
