I saw the advertisements for it and have been pushing #2 to start watching it. He see's the commercial for it, looks at me and says " We like Star Wars. It so cool." in a typical 3 yo voice.
Most likely it was brought in by the dog. Good thing is that it was only there for a few hours. Bad thing is Mrs NJ, and here mother in their emotional States all but demanded that I bring the baby to the er. A $100 co-pay later the tick is gone. Grrrrrr

The MIL is there? You should have sent here to the er...with the kid of course.
A small price to pay for domestic tranquility, but I'm with you. Just pull it off and keep an eye on the baby. That's really all they did at the ER.

mr sassy pants last night. Minisnick wasn't staying in his chair at diner last night. He was standing near the opposite side of the table when I told him to get back to the table right now (meaning in his chair).
He said, "I am at the table, if you wanted me to get in my seat you should have told me to get to my chair."

Mini Dex has been told to stop watching youtube. He watches some of the dumbest stuff, and a lot of it isn't really appropriate for him. He used to watch car crashes which was fine (mostly racing crashes), but lately he's been watching game-play videos of stupid teenagers doing some inappropriate things in games he's not allowed to play (like suicides and murders in Grand Theft Auto). So we told him to stop. We caught him watching them again on his new Xbox, so I told him that if he is caught watching youtube on his Xbox that it will be moved down to the living room so he could only use it when we're not watching TV and so we can monitor his usage. Last night I caught him watching youtube again. His first response when he saw me was "I'm not watching it on my Xbox!" Little $hit.
I had an incident last night where #1 decided that she wanted to trick #2 into saying bad words. Well, I wind of this and it didn't end well for her. She found out that the dish soap has a sour apple taste to it.

I appreciate the honesty of this thread! make me feel like my kids are not the only ones that need an ass whooping!
my oldest sons high school band won the State Region 5A band tournament Saturday night. Didn't get home until 2 AM from the Air Force Academy- I was helping push "the pit" onto the field, so it was cool to get to be on the field at least...
I know this is a big deal in band world, but the awkwardness of the other band parents is just a little weird to me. I kept wanting to say "can you just take it down a notch?" I am happy for the kids but I hate being around a bunch of parents reliving their (I guess) glory days and whooping it up with each other like they did anything other than drive down to the shoe.. yeah I know I am an asshole....
& ironically enough the HS Football team made it into the playoffs and the band was bitching cause I guess now they have to "participate" LOL...
I know 6 years will fly by (how many more years I have until they are all out of the house) and I will miss all this stuff but I am ready for a cease and desist order on these kid activities!

& Dex- I am sure there is some way (if you have comcast) you can make youtube blocked through your interent provider. I don't know exactly how but some churchy people have told me they have done that???

I changed the parental controls on the Xbox so that youtube is no longer accessible (had to uninstall it and set permissions so that he can't install anything without parental approval).
Parenting high-five for Dex.
As a side note, we got sick and tired of Junior not listening to us while watching TV. She would tune you out 100% when plopped in front of the thing to the point that you'd have to scream at her to get her attention. So, we have cut her off from the TV cold turkey. She is only allowed to watch educational shows on her Kindle. So far so good.

mine watch a lot of dumb crap- I check there accounts and its nothing bad, its just so fucking dumb. Like why do they watch videos of other people playing minecraft?
usually once or twice a month I get pissed and just unplug the router and yell go outside.. build a fort! (my teens are like WTF is a fort?)

My son watched those minecraft videos too. At first they were pretty cool because they were giving him ideas on how to build things, where to find supplies, etc (like a walk-through guide), but then he started watching the dumb ones where they would set their herd of sheep on fire and laugh at it.
On one hand I want him to have access to some of what the internet has available, but then he ends up stuck in the dumbass section.
