I know we all love our children but I'm sure we can admit there is at least one thing they do that drives us crazy. What is that one thing your LO does that just grinds your nerves?


For me it's screaming! It is so hard to go out to eat because Caleb loves to scream. He sounds like a bird of pray! If we don't get food in front of him fast enough or if he gets board he just screams and screams...

With Grace it's the endless questions. She never stops. "Is it raining? Why is it raining? Is the sky dark? Can we see the moon? Why not? What day is today?..." It NEVER stops!

I hate how she throws food on the floor when she's finished, lol. It's not so bad when we're at home and the dogs can clean up, but it's super not fun to clean up after here....because my parent's dog is a weirdo and won't eat anything Sophie throws on the floor!

When she whines non-stop! And also, I dislike how she can't sit still for a second in stores, she needs to be walking around and touching everything all the time. But maybe that's good, I shop too much anyway!

I hate that both my kids pick fights with each other all the time. If Noah is playing nicely Luca comes up and tries to wrestle him, or ruin whatever he's playing with. And if Luca's playing nicely with something Noah takes it off him. It's neverending.

I hate the screaming too! Londons is high pitch and banchee (sp?) like...I can't fault her much because I was the same way! LOL

Karlie, do you really think Luca is trying to ruin things Noah is playing with? The reason I ask is because we have duplo blocks for Arie and every time I build something she grabs it out of my hand and takes it apart. But I think she thinks its a game, like I build and she takes it apart, not that she is deliberately trying to mess it up.

Kellen - the whining and fake crying; some days it's constant!!

Keira (my 6 yr old) - she doesn't follow directions the first time ----EVER. I'm lucky if she does what's asked of her after the fifth/sixth request. It makes my blood boil. Stubborn as a mule. She also gets her name written on the board at school for talking too much in class. She admits she can't control it and I believe her. We've actually make a game out of seeing how long she can go without talking in the car....lol.

Kaila (2 yr old) - She still tries to abuse Kellen. I feel like she doesn't realize that there's a consequence for her behavior at all. She constantly tackles him and he is already getting payback by pulling her hair when she's not paying attention. Just a lot of violence between those too. Oh, and she gets on these crying jags that CANNOT be broken with any amount of reasoning. Lastly, she refuses the potty. She literally mocks it by putting the ring around her head and running through the house. I'm starting to think she's going to be the first kid who goes to kindergarten in diapers.

Okay, that sounded like a lot of things but today was a good example so it's fresh on the brain!

Oh no I don't think it's malicious really (although I do think he enjoys getting a reaction out of his big brother!) just annoying because there is rarely a peaceful moment between them.

What drives me crazy lately is her need to nurses every 2 hours all day every day and with her free hand, she insists on pinching my other nipple! Ouch!

The semi-constant whining. He wakes up in a good mood (most mornings) and then it just goes downhill throughout the day.

[CutlassDiva]

the Whining here too.....there are days it is non stop and it drives me nuts!!!

[Arei_720]

I went down the posts and saw my own kids in everyone's gripes! Is that bad?!

[shockandawe]

Whining here too. It doesn't happen all the time, but when she turns it on, she cranks it up to 11. and when she grinds the few teeth she has. Nothing sends me to insanity faster than that.

I can say the same about my kids!
