    Growling at me.  I can deal with the crying I love  the baby coos and the giggles are the best  even the high pitched squeals are adorable but this growling at mom is not okay. He literally growls himself to sleep. or growls at me when he is hungry or wants to be held or needs to be changed.

    I wish my DD10 would stop biting her nails :-SS It's nasty and drives me nuts they look so bad all I want to do is paint them pretty girl colors lol but it looks like crap also I wish she'd stop being so sassy and she lies a lot about the dumbest things..

    I wish my DS2 would stop spitting his juice out on my floors and furniture and if he gets mad throws a fit and I'm close enough he'll grab and pull my hair really hard X( the kid is lucky he just turned 2 let me tell you >:/

    The goddamn fighting! I actually video-taped them today, where they went from playing to pulling hair and screaming in less than 3 minutes. 

    Girls. Argh! The non-stop picking, arguing, refining, touching, grabbing, pushing.
    See ya in another life, sister!

    Oh I also love that I can ask my DD10 to do something or stop doing something 20 times and she doesn't listen so I finally yell then she crys like I'm beating her she crys a lot about the smallest things #-o or when she's told she can't do whatever she wants at that moment she'll say "life isn't fair" as she's crying I swear girls are like a roller coaster @Stinksmama do you know of any tricks to get her to stop biting her nails?

    @Katrina I kept my nails painted for a few months, I didn't want the polish in my mouth. It took about 3 1/2 months to completely stop biting them.

    @Curious how close in age are they? My sister and I are 27mos apart, we fought like cage fighters til we were about 12-14. We were always super close and always had each other's back when it came to other people, but Im surprised there were no er visits..

    Talking! You know it's bad when DH yells across the house 'Allison, give your Mom a break! She's in the potty and you haven't stopped asking her things ALL day!'

    For the love of God, it's true too!

    Haha @Arkroyal screaching is the worst! Ry gets mad and screaches as loud as she can, makes my ears ring.

    @meandmy243 maybe he'll grow up to be a famous artist, then the poop paintings will be sorta worth the trouble.

    @firsttimemommy how much longer? Lung/rib kicks suck

    @Arkroyal same for us. My dad has even started telking her to knock it off. He usually leave that up to me.

    Haha @fatchickonabike gotta love when their dad's do that. Dd's dad thinks it's hilarious to call me chooch, now she does it too.

    At the time it was asking for money. My daughter had just ended a bad relationship. This person pretty much took her to the cleaners. Thank gawd I was able to bail her out. Was painfull financially- mom had to get creative. Man, was that ever painfull.

    I wish my DS4 would stop with the back talk. I really thought I had a few more years before it started. Somedays I swear I have a teenager living in my house!

    @forkinthehead it's the opposite for me. My mom asks me for money all the time. Had to pick her up from the police station the other day. usually feels like I have a 51yr old and a 4yr old.

    @stinksmama Talk about a role reversal. I feel bad that she puts you through that :( I had a girlfriend that went through that. Her mom had a drinking problem, was stopped for a dwi. Since she worked they put her on a work release program. She had the joy of spending her weekends in sheriff Arapaho's tent city in Phoenix.

    I wish our wee beastie would go back to sleeping through the night...but why would he do that when the baby is due in less than 3 weeks. Why not have a party through out the night...get Mom and dad both up...one in his room and one in the baby's room. LOL
    I'm as sexy as a burp mid-kiss. Watch out!

    My poor ds4 has a nasty cold and I feel terrible. However if the gross little monster coughs on me one more time I'm going to lose my mind!

    @fatchickonabike my 4yo asks for everything he sees no matter what it is.

    Picking their noses & eating it...so gross

Ugh he is always starting things and ends up pissing me off! X( DS5 Being picky about EVERYTHING!!!! Any mealtime is always dreadful because I can't get him to eat most things! Oh and when he does finally decide to eat he takes his bloody time! Seriously taking an hour or more just to eat some mac & cheese!!!!

    "Stop eating your books!"  DS2 peels wallpaper off so he can eat it, chews up all his books like a puppy, bites chunks out of birthday cards..  Sounds delicious right?  Who could refuse?  :-&  Ironically, when I was 10, I went through a paper-eating phase.

    @ccc51105 My DS3 eats paper too. I am constantly telling him to stop!

    @ellebelle07 My DS4 still drools! It is worse than when any of them were a baby. Why can't he just swallow & spit it out?? Nope, he drips it everywhere!

    Moving like she's underwater when I'm trying to get us out of the house in the morning. I dress her even though she's perfectly capable of dressing herself because if I let her do it, she could happily spend 10 minutes just putting on her socks. Nothing I say or do makes her move any faster. High blood pressure? Who, me?

    Questioning me on everyfuckinglittlething.
    "Brush your teeth."
    "But it's only 7:27"
    "I said brush your teeth."
    "I thought I have to get ready at 7:30"
    And then I turn into this > "BRUSHYOURTEETHBEFOREIREPTHEMOUTOFYOURKNOWITALLLITTLEHEAD 
    8-X"

     It's not just teethbrushing, it's everydamn thing.  Remind me again why it was so important for me to encourage my child to have a mind of his own?
