Everyone loves their kids. But lets face it, sometimes they do things that drive us nuts. Here are some of them:
1. They ask a question. You answer it. But then they want to know why. You tell them. But then they want to know why to that answer. And so on, and so on, and so on, and sooooooooooo oooooooonnnnnnnnn….
2. You go to put your baby in his car seat. And he suddenly wants to play I’m-a-completely-stiff-tree. Helpful.
3. Toddlers like to dress themselves. They like to choose their clothes. Unfortunately, that doesn’t mean just going to the closet, nicely browsing through the choices, and then choosing one. Nope, not like that at all. Sigh.
4. Every time you attempt to put on your baby’s clothes, he thinks it’s time to see how much he can flap his limbs. Not only that, but he also enjoys throwing his head back with a gusto, whilst turning into a little human pretzel.
5. Parents put so much effort into preparing healthy delicious, kid-friendly meals for their toddlers. We serve it up to them in creative ways. But what do they do? They turn their little noses up and declare they don’t like it. Before they try even try it.
6. “No! No! No! No!” Ick, the terrible twos. Defiance is rife, and often makes me want to scream and run for the hills.
7. You can’t wear your hair down, or wear any sort of jewellery, otherwise giant clumps of hair will be pulled out, earrings will be painfully ripped from your ears, and necklaces will half choke you before being completely broken.
8. When you’re changing a nappy, they seem to thoroughly enjoy playing rodeo. I.E. their little bottom is the out of control bull, and you have to attempt to wrangle it back onto the change table long enough to actually get the nappy on.

Man I about lost it the day my daughter was like “I don’t like cheezits” after specifically asking me to buy her Cheezits when we were at the store. For real kid? Are you TRYING to make the giant grey streak in my hair bigger?
I know, Hannah does that too! So annoying!!
Love #8, glad to know that I’m not the only dealing with an out of control baby on the changing diaper… actually dedicated a whole blog post on his acrobatic diaper changes. Please tell me they calm down sooner rather than later… please, please, pretty please?!?
Not for a long time…. With Hannah, I didn’t have a change table, so I had to hold her down on the floor with my feet and change her with my hands. Sigh.
The one about Daniel and overrated pants reminds me of when Justin was little and he’d take his pants off and throw them down the stairs while screaming “No more pants!”
haha, kids are so strange….
Super cute and funny!
Thanks 🙂
I though your children were perfect, I remember you saying how Hannah was so lovely and she was never gong to be naughty.
Quiet woman….
You forgot to mention the most annoying thing of all. Kids who grow up and move very very far away.
Well, that’s what happens when you fall in love with a foreigner. Besides, maybe one day we’ll live over there. Maybe.
