"I'm going to Tar and Feather you two" (page 3)

Sunspot

I had 5 kids in 10 years.

The first three were 14 and 17 months apart.

The fourth was 2 years from them.

The baby was 6 years from that.

I know exactly what you are talking about......multiplied!

I remember it well.

Even hopping in the CAR to GO anywhere, was an exercise in futility!

But yes...these days DO pass quickly and they are "little kids" for such a very short time. Have you tried to get them involved with doing crafts and making things...even "helping" to make juice popsicles and decorating their own wild& crazy cupcakes when the weather isn't as hot and humid? There are TONS of websites like "makestuff.com" that have great ideas and suggestions for this kind of activity, age-appropriate and everything! I have no other advice on what to do---but know that you share a very common complaint with other Moms everywhere!

Just like Dansk,

Mine are all grown up, youngest is 17, but i do remember those days. My all time favorite was "don't make me stop this car"!

My sister and I were on a road trip with our sons (we each have one boy and they were about 10 at the time). They were bickering like brothers with the "He touched me" and "He's on my side" stuff. We tried all the "don't make me stop the car" sayings but nothing worked. I said the craziest think I could think of - "If you two don't stop, I'm going to reach back there and twist your lips off." Well they thought that was funny and it took their minds off each other for a few minutes. They still remember it and laugh about it when they are reminiscing.

Give each of them a roll of quarters. They have 2 weeks. Each time they fight with each other, they owe you a quarter. EACH of them. No matter who started it. If after 2 weeks, they have any money, they can spend it. If they love money, it might work, and maybe, just maybe, if they DO fight, it might be quietly, and they learn how to trust each other more.

Yeah I got one teenager now (he just turned 13) who wants to date. We had a conversation on why he can't date right now and that his friends are dating and how their parents are driving them (picking up the girl) to and fro on the date. I told the boy that ain't happening with me. Like I want to be stuck in a car with my son and some girl he likes. Just gives me the willies thinking about it.

Mrsjones, wait til you hear slurping lips, because they both have braces. I turned up the radio in the car.

All these things I'm missing out on!

I don't have any yet because I don't want to share my toys...
