Here's a late FFFC, I now have three versions of DS's love monster stuffy, and I am cannibalizing them to replace parts the dog gets.
She's suddenly obsessed with this damn thing. We have a baby gate at the stairs. His bedroom door is closed. The monster is on the top bunk.
I don't know how it's happening. I fucking give up. Frank the monster now spends the day in the cabinet above the fridge, and we get on a fucking stepladder to place and retrieve him.
Poor DS.
I'm running out of monster ears.

Im asking sincerely, but what would happen if they did? My kids give zero fucks and I’m not even a pushover mom. the first time it happened I got down face level and said, "you don't ever slam a door in this bitch again. It's disrespectful." They also got a time out. It didn't happen again. I am loud and deep and probably added in I'm the only one can slam shit in here. You want to slam you have to pay bills. ::takes notes:: For real, McB, I think your fortune can be made as a life coach or maybe writing a parenting book “”This bitch wishes you would, 1st Edition”

I am WELL aware that is the most.
But I can't watch my little boy cry when it's not his fault.

Great name for a monster, though, STP . Among the greatest. Adorable story. Frank is the name of one of the nurses at our local ER. Throughout three m/c and both pregnancies, he was my nurse. He knew me, he was the nicest and sweetest man. When DS was brand new and had a scary reflux incident we went in, and he was my nurse again and he said "oh my God, you had the baby, oh honey" and legit BURST INTO TEARS. Frank was named the next day. I have an emotional attachment.

We put two gingerbread houses under the tree and our dog ate one gingerbread tree. He was shamed and never touched them again.
Get thee a Kelpie

Then I tell my kids y'all think I'm strict and they laugh and I laugh and end with "but I'm not the one to play with either."

My 11 year old 12.3% pretty much every dog breed that makes up 100%, who I dearly love still steals things out of the recycle bin and when the snow melts, I find layers of cans, bags, packages that had been buried in the snow.
Last week everything melted and I collected 6 cat food cans, 8 dog food cans, 2 packages of lunch meat, 3 soup cans and a few bags of jerky.
It hasn’t snowed since Christmas, but has been melting slowly.
We have called her “billy goat” since she was 12 weeks old, guess the name fits.

She loves the shit out of us and would take a bullet for us, but we were not in charge and we knew it. She never made empty threats, either. Once we tried to call her bluff on not picking up our toys and she bagged those suckers up and donated them to the local children's hospital. As a senior in high school I wasn't allowed out on school nights. 😂
