It's morning again
and they're fighting.
Again.
"Those are MINE"
"You're so STUPID!"
I was an only child and being an only child I have no idea how to deal with this sibling rivalry stuff. Yes, I read the damn book. I have read so many parenting books, I should have a blog about parenting books. Books only tell half of the story, and most of the time it's all good in theory...
I would have LOVED to have had a sister when I was a child; someone to share secrets with, play with, hang out with, deal with our crazy parents with.
Instead I had a dog, although she certainly had her positive points.
Why is it that my children don't see the sacrifice that I've made to give them someone to have a forever friend with?
Geez, ungrateful little demons.
Ginger's going "under the knife" this morning.
No more humping.
Thank god.
Hope y'alls morning was better than mine; although I have a feeling my day must be moving towards looking up.

When my boys were little and did that stuff I would ground them from each other, no speaking to the other one, no playing together, until they could be nice.
Now as teenagers when they are mad at each other they are more then happy to get away from the other one, I have to find a new tactic. I guess now I have to go with, your super glued to your brother until you can be nice. hah
I hope Ginger feels better, and less humpy, soon.
I thought of you while laying in bed this morning. :)
Because I hear J & B in the kitchen:
J: whisperwhisperwhisper
B: What the HECK!
J: whisperwhisperwhisper (she's figured out to talk low since I hear very well)
B: I am SO going to hurt you when I get home from school!
J: whisperwhisper
B: AAAAGGHHH! I HATE YOU!
I then pulled the covers over my head and starting laughing as I thought of you.
Is it too early for Martinis?
Goodness it must be a universal thing... that or you were really in my house this morning!
I had conference with my 12 yr olds teacher today. My son began to complain about me being "cranky". The teacher asked for specific examples and his response was, like when I won't get off the computer or when I dont get up the first 2 times she wakes me in the morning for school..." The teacher gave him homework. He is to test me... try to listen to and do everything I ask of him for the rest of the day and see if I am still cranky!!
Cheers!! K
Okay, now I'm feeling a little guilty. i know I haven't thanked my mother nearly enough for putting up with us.
Sorry that the Mini-Woo's don't get it. I always fought with my brothers growing up....that's why I always only wanted one child.;)

My day was ok until I reviewed my blog tracker. This is what I found:
Referring URL http://search.msn.co...ORM=MSNH&srch_type=0
Search Engine search.msn.com
Search Words hippo dildo
Apparently my blog is the first thing that comes up in the MSN search if you search for "hippo dildo." God Help Me!

RSG- there were four of us. I am surprised that any of the younger ones survived childhood.
I was also an only child and would have NOT loved to have someone around b/c I got everything all for myself.
HOWEVER, if it makes you feel better..Ashtin and Spencer used to do this..EVERY DAY 10 times a day. Every morning I was almost in tears from listening to the bullshit. They practiaclly hate one another but that is a whole nother story.
It has gotten better in the last year. Much better.
Just be patient Kimosabi.
Hugs.
Hope tomorrow is a happy morning!
The whole screaming kids thing totally stops me in my tracks. I can't deal with yelling. I wonder how I will deal when I have kids of my own. Good Lord....
Getting her uterus removed didn't stop Tiny dog's humping urge. She'll fucks the hell outta my other dog's head all the damn time. Hopefully, Ginger is less of a perv.
It'll take about 25 years for your kids to appreciate each other.
LOL @ Chickie!

Speaking from the point of view of a sibling - because I am not a parent - you can only wait it out. They won't kill each other, even though at times it may sound like it. But they WILL outgrow it. Especially if they are parted when one goes away to college.
well, there goes my suggestion of a good book, he he I was an only child too, then got a couple step siblings, I would've preferred to remain solo (that's the self cnetered alkie in me).
I am now raising (ok, my wife is, with my help he he) an only child, a little boy... I can't even imagine having more than one... I have enough going on with my lil monkey!
great blog, by the way!!
