Funny how the kids drowning in toys always seem to need more. Stop buying them so much stuff and let them develop an imagination. |

If I ever said I was bored around my mother, she'd hand me the pledge and a rag and tell me to dust. Or the fantastik and tell me to wash the bathroom. Or to go weed the garden of all maple trees. Or to sort and fold laundry. BELIEVE ME, I was very careful about saying the "B" word! (and heaven help you if you used the word "bored" and said it in a whiny tone - OMIGOD! So much cleaning and dusting!

I see the useless patrol is among us again. Op, my boys would eat all day if they could. I try to direct them towards fruits and vegetables or I say, you have something in 45 mins. Usually by the time 45 mins is up, they have forgotten or are busy entertaining themselves. I hate hearing, "I hate my brother." Its usually at this point that they need time away from each other and I separate them. The one thing I don't usually hear is I'm bored. If I do hear it, the kids know its an automatic work assignment of my choosing and usually involves some household chore I hate doing, like cleaning toilets or baseboards. There are way too many toys and games in this house for anyone to truly be bored. |

20 yr olds and husbands should be preparing dinner for the family themselves regularly if not everyday. |

When I get hit with all the questions etc. when they know I'm trying to work or it's inappopriate, I just say "I love you."
Used to say "I love you, but come on that's not cool" or "I love you but I'm busy as you know let's talk later" but now I can just use the shorthand. |

| One more episode? Except it’s shouted like a maniac and they’re not really asking. |

My answer to this question—no matter what the age—is always, "I don't know, what are you making?" If they're little, they giggle. If they're big, they eventually (hopefully) start to get the point. If they're in between, well, they're probably going to roll their eyes and sigh anyway, no matter what your answer is. |

My child is nowhere near as annoying and spoiled and bratty as you are. WHO RAISED YOU? |

"Great, go finish your dinner." "I don't waaaaaant that" "Too bad because that's what is available to you." |
