Our tiny tyrant (3 yrs.) actually wasn't too argumentative in Walmart today- (shocking!) she just decided to forget all afternoon and half the night that she knew the words "Hi", "Please" and "Thank you" (and of course my MIL was with us as we went running errands all over creation today...fortunately, she remembered about 30 mins. before we left my MIL's house after dinner to thank her for supper without being prompted...)
Oh dear do I remember those days. I have to say my kids were pretty good in the store but they sure had their moments.
All I can tell you as that it slowly gets better.
Charish all the times you have with them. One day they are babies, then babies turn to toddlers, then toddlers turn into "kids" and then teens and before you know it they are all grown up.
Mine are 18 and 16 now and it sure didn't feel like it then but it seems like time flies.
My son has moved out and my daughter is driving were did my babies go?
I wish I would have thought of using duct tape or velcro, those are some great ideas

Not that long ago, I was taking my 13 year-old and a couple of his friends to the skate park so they could skateboard...and one of the friends was forced to drag his little 5 year-old brother along. So, they're all sitting in the backseat of my car, I'm driving, and this little boy was driving me DINGY!!! He was loud, rude, obnoxious, and how anyone EVER tolerates behavior like this is beyond me...unfortunately, his parents have absolutely NO control or authority with any of their children, and they're practically allowed to hang from the ceiling fans naked. Anyway, I couldn't take much more of this little squirt in the backseat, and I finally pulled the car over. I put on my "teacher face" and turned on the "Nazi/Stalin teacher voice", and I said:
"I don't know what the rules are in your house are...but, I'm not your mother. If you do not sit quietly for the rest of this car ride, you'll find a sock stuffed in your mouth so fast, you won't even know it was coming. I would NOT push it any further, if I were you." This little kid's mouth about hit his knees! It was like this was the first time anyone had ever corrected him in his life! Needless to say, he was completely silent the rest of the way!!!!

My son will soon be 19 and he STILL doesn't listen!

That's one good thing... my 9yr old, Justice, knows the "Mommy" look WELL! I just look at him and he will stop in his tracks...Deacon however, is still learning it.. and he's a bit more headstrong then Justice

There is a girl at work who is pregnant (last person on earth who deserves to have a baby, but maybe she'll realize after he's born that not everything is about her, now everything is about the baby!)
There was a little baby. 7 weeks old, being taken care of what must have been the grandparents (but you never know, right?) and the little one starting crying, the kid was red and purple in the face screaming. The girl who was pregnant, in all her attitude says "I can tell you, my kid ain't never gonna be that red in the face. Mmhmm, uh-uh."
I didn't know how to tell her that some kids cry... and there's nothing you can do sometimes but let them cry.

Yeah, I know lots of people who don't have kids yet who think their kids will be perfect little angels, and they will be perfect parents.
And where is that shelter where you can adopt out your kids??? I'll be there! (Definitely wouldn't want to volunteer at that kind of shelter)
