You would scream, too, if you had to live with me.

gosh… you don’t let your kid play in his own pee? hmmm… maybe I should stop letting my kids do that. JK.

I have the screaming too… except I ALSO have the whining four year old and the panicking five year old. Great fun.

Nothing like a symphony of screaming, whining and crying to make your day just feel so right.

Tara R’s last blog post..I like Monday

I couldn’t help but laugh whilst watching these videos, I’m sorry, and I’d probably laugh if I were there, too. He’s just being soooo silly! He’s fussing for no reason! NONE! And he’s so cute while he’s doing it, too.

My favorite part was when you asked him, “Is it because of the high phone bills?” And he just looks at you for a few seconds like, “That wasn’t funny, it was dumb. You’re so stupid. You don’t understand me at all.” And then he continued to cry. Hopefully it’s just a phase. HOPEFULLY.

My daughter began screaming as she exited the womb. Literally! When she was just a few weeks old, I had fed her, changed her, and made sure she was comfortable in every possible way, then put her down so I could do a bit of cooking, cleaning, something unimportant like that. Of course, she didn’t think she should have to be put down, so she screamed. I tried to ignore her as much as possible other than a few soothing noises occasionally. A strange lady knocked on our door and asked me if I had seen her dog – he had apparently strayed. While she was there she kept looking past me into the house. Finally she came right out and asked if my baby was all right. Apparently she had heard the screaming as she walked down the street and decided to investigate and be sure I was not killing the poor child. I heard from various neighbors throughout the summer that they had heard her crying, but the dog lady was the only one who “investigated.”

I’m forever telling the man of the house. “For every time I yell at the kids, I get paid a buck. I’ll be one of the richest moms around!!”

napaboaniya’s last blog post..I’m Going Bra-Less…

I am L’ing my A off. Don’t you just want to squish his head? I live this… not so bad as it was anymore, thank THE GOOD LORD, because we might not have survived another month of “Nothing mommy does is right.” Do you ever scream back? Just sit down and say, :”Waaaaaaaaah! You little jerk I know exactly how you feel. WAAAAAAHHHHH!” Or yell? Do you ever yell? “Dammit kid I’m actually trying to HELP you here. You ASKED me to hand you the book, did you not? You DID! And I was being NICE to you, STOP SCREAMING OR I’M GOING TO HAVE A NERVOUS BREAKDOWN!” Probably not because you are a GOOD mom, unlike… me.

my friend videos the meltdowns of her 5 year old and tells her she is keeping them as evidence for Santa. So if he keeps it up, when he is old enough to negotiate, you’ll have some leverage.

wow..

he has a good set of lungs on him..

Taz’s last blog post..24 weeks old

hee hee! My gosh, your boy and mine are sure cut from the same cloth. I’ve been nipping the screaming in the bud tho. I can tell when it’s coming. He does this adorable little “Uhh!” sound of frustration with a double arm flop immediately followed by a foot stamp or two. I usually scoop him up and blow raspberries on his belly until he is gasping for air. Gotta love a ticklish kid.

Becky’s last blog post..TAG: I’m it.

Firstly, he actually pees in his potty? Much jealous! Amy tells me to pee in her potty, tells her dolls to pee in her potty, tells the damn dog to pee in the potty and then stands in front of the potty and pees. All down her legs.

Obviously we need to work on the sitting down part.

Secondly how long does he have to scream before your head explodes?

Hi Lotus!

I have a 9 and a 6 year old. i would love to say it will end. I guess it will end in the sense that the crying without him talking back will end, because soon he will start yelling at you while he is crying. I love how you ask him about the phone bill. For some reason, it is fun to ask them silly questions when they are freaking out.

They are lots of fun.

By the way, I started a blog! Drop by and visit sometime.

We moms go through a lot of abuse, don’t we??? There are days I feel so used and abused, and my husband wonders why.

Jacki’s last blog post..Tickle Me Tuesday

Annie used to scream right back at them. They’d get this puzzled look on their face. Then they’d start again and she’d start right in and they’d get puzzled again. Pretty soon they’d get bored and go find something else to terrorize.

“Is it because of the high phone bill?”

*blank, confused gaze”

Sorry, but that made me laugh. I’ve been through this screaming at the mommy phase, twice. Not fun at the time, but seems funny when you play it back for your kids when they are, say, nine, and can’t handle seeing themselves portrayed as monsters. hahaha.

Sue’s last blog post..High Five! On The Side! Down Low… Too Slow!

He’s such a little “man” lol

Well, he certainly can scream. Rumor has it the screaming stops when they’re like 10 or so. Then you get a few years break before the hormones start controlling their minds. I’d comment further but I have to go pack my ears with gauze to staunch the blood flow.

Lilacspecs’s last blog post..Music Monday – Cats

The high phone bill is the best part!

This is great stuff for his first date, his prom night, his wedding rehearsal… pure GOLD. Just think of that the next time he busts one of your eardrums with his latest scream! I’ll bet you’ll have a sinister smile on your face in no time…

anne’s last blog post..getting ready to jump, I think

Is it too early for our little one’s to get some anger management training?

I feel your pain.

I’m just so thankful that one of my children doesn’t do that and she and I sit together, exchanging ‘what’s his problem’ looks. She’s pretty good at it for 1 year’s old.

Connie’s last blog post..Proof!

love it. you are funny here, kathleen

so grateful to be mormon’s last blog post..another first phone call! thanks sue!

Mama said they’d be days like this, days like this…

Sorry, that’s the 1st thing that came to my mind I think every Mommy has these type days though. Those days are when we really deserve a “calgon take me away” bath!!!! Keep smiling

I feel your pain! Am I the only one who wants to throw them out the window when Zack does it ALL. DAY. LONG.?! (We’re ground floor so it’s no biggy… really )

Marylin’s last blog post..I did it again!

Finally, FINALLY, you’ve granted my request of posting a blog that makes me not want to have kids right away, at least for a moment. Thank you. Oh crap, it’s back. I want children again! Guess I’ll just have to watch those videos again. Haha he’s adorable and we all know it. xoxo

I like the bath video… scream scream… wait… this spinny thing is interesting… stay focused… scream… spin… scream… spin….

Argh is so hard to throw a tantrum!

Sorry Lotus, but it’s so much more amusing when it isn’t your kid…

Josh’s last blog post..Nature & Food

Oh and I’ve moved. Should come up in liink.

Yeh, that’s what happens to me when I get our phone bill too. But, if you think that’s bad, you should see the fit I threw over our electricity bill last month

We are just starting to brush L’s teeth. All 5 of them. We’ve been “slackers”. I know I know. The only way we can get it in her mouth is if I pretend to put it in mine and her dad’s…and then daddy has to clap for her when she does it. Then she gets excited. But, now she just puts it in her mouth and bites it. *Sigh* Can’t they just make baby food like they do dog food…or chew toys so we don’t have to brush their teeth??

Ashley’s last blog post..I don’t want that. I want YOURS.

Oh, I’m so sorry for you, but so happy for me! It’s good to hear that other mothers want to tear their hair out sometimes and that their kids cry for no good reason!!! Stay strong! And I am totally with you on punching out those people who say we look ragged and tired!

wright’s last blog post..Sans Bebe

That’s so strange that your child screams.

My children are POLITE and NEVER act out of line.

Screaming and crying is NOT allowed at our house.

They know if they step out, they will be put out.

At 2 & 3, they know better.

Right… In my dream world.

Beck’s last blog post..Robert Zimmerman and Bedtime Prayers

I’m 22. I have two kids. When my husband and I were dating (I was 18), there were two separate incidences in one summer when people confused me for a 13-year-old. Since becoming a mom, I have not had a single person assume that I was in high school, regardless of whether the girls were with me or not. And I could probably count on one hand the number of times that any man has acted flirtatiously toward me in that time.

It’s really depressing. It’s like I skipped my 20′s completely. Darn kids.

Oh my god you are so cruel. I too am I cruel mommy that performs such injustices as rinsing the shampoo from a certain little guy’s hair and putting him in the bath and ironically taking him out of the bath. Oh and then there is the closing of any door. Gotta love the screaming and the melodramatics.

comforting to know that it isn’t just my little tyrant.

At least I’m not alone. That could have been my son. Pulling things on the floor, writhing around like they’re being burned alive, and screaming like you are beating them.. all for offering to pick them up.

Got a headbutt over a nap today. Have a nice goose egg on my forehead. Is it bad that I thought “At least with a head injury, he’ll sleep well”? I kid, kind of.

oh, I feel your pain. Mine screams so loud that I can hear him outside the house. and down the driveway. and in the neighbor’s driveway. Great stuff, isn’t it?

Just smile…because in 12 years when he brings home his first girlfriend – you can embarrass him. That’s way better than punching him.

I feel Braden’s pain. When I was in Texas trying to save my father and field the kajillion phone calls from doctors, family, friends, and other… I ended up hating my cell phone. Hell, I started hating the sound of my voice.

I’m ready to go back to letter writing and tin cans on a string. Maybe Braden would like to join me? Heheh.

Yikes, I don’t envy you that scream!

Don’t worry though. When they become more verbal, and can SAY why you’re pissing them off, the screaming lessens, at least it did with my kids. But, I was a mean mom – screaming resulted in, um, punishment; I won’t say HOW I punished.

I own one just like him!! I’m gonna have to play this for her later just for shits n giggles..

[...] On Tuesday, I gave you ‘Braden a la I-Scream.’ [...]

I really love these videos because Braden is exactly like my toddler daughter. Add in some throwing oneself to the floor face first while screaming, smacking Mom in the face, and just for fun, throwing one’s body backwards spasmodically while in Mom’s arms as if to do a somersault-flip out of Mom’s arms and land on the hardwood floor on one’s head (so far only near misses but one day…) and yep, that’s my girl. Good grief. Little stinkers.

Love your blog. Read every post. You rock, mean/sarcastic mom.

How funny!! I LOVE your blog.
