Stupid fights you've had with your kids

[hit4me4]

As I sit here eating lunch and cruising the site, I'm listening to my 3 year old daughter scream at me from her bedroom. The problem is that she didn't eat any meatloaf last night because she said she didn't like it. So, I gave my 5 year old son meatloaf for lunch and she got some leftover pizza. Cool, right? Fuck ass no! She's screaming at me that she wants meatloaf but I'm not letting her have it. She's yelling she wants mommy, blah blah. I love my kids, but kids in general are fucking assholes sometimes. It's not like I'm trying to make her eat something gross or that she doesn't like, I'm trying to give her pizza dammit.
We've had some stupid fights but this is ridiculous. So, other parents on the board...let's hear some of your stupid fights with your kids.

I feel you pain. Last night my 8 year old daughter had a meltdown because I made her sit in the chair she specifically asked us to buy for her instead of the couch (where her brother was already laying down) to watch a show we had recorded. Kids have no appreciation of what "first world problem" means.

I have a 3 year old also. I have found that using leverage in other areas works (not always, but a lot and not saying you haven't tried this). If she doesn't want to eat something that she asked for or needs to, take away some of her privileges like iPad time or television shows or something she's looking forward to doing like having a play day with her friends, etc. You have to be willing to take it away/withhold it but it should help solve the problem over stupid shit as my daughter now gets the point.

But communicate what you plan on doing first.

Also, first thought that came to mind (sorry):

Dude I could fill 50 fucking pages with stories.

 

[Psychotropic Wanderlust]

as someone without kids......

 

[Psychotropic Wanderlust]

I need to hear more stories guys!!

 

[Robbie Hart]

Oh, I done misinterpreted the intent of said thread.....sorry, yo

 

[Robbie Hart]

Dude I could fill 50 fucking pages with stories.

Let's hear some.

 

[Wild]

Let's hear some.

Just dumb shit like, wanting a hamster one day, a turtle the next...back and forth w/ me saying nope. Whining, and me saying nope some more. Her saving money...me saying nope some more. Or texting me while they're with mom, wanting something from the store when they know we're broke. Momma puts it on dad, and I have to be the bad guy. Just little shit like this that parents are constantly dealing with. And if not's that, it's something else.

That said, they're good kids in terms of grades, being self sufficient, respectful of others, etc. So I can't complain too much. It could be a hell of a lot worse.

How old are your children?

Oh I'm the hard ass with the kids. I don't cave. She lost books last night for kicking me. My wife gives in eventually but I don't.

Oh, are you done giving me unlimited "have a toke" ratings

 

[Wild]

How old are you children?

12 and 17.

Only real issues I have with the 17 yr old is her choice of boys she likes. She's my step daughter, so I do my best to remain balanced. Trying to be more of a mentor, than a disciplinarian. I don't care what anyone says, a step parent/step child relationship is always a delicate one. Her real dad and I are actually very friendly and talk about things when we need to, but he spends 10% of his time with her, and I spend 90% of mine with her. So he sort of defers most things to me. I just try to do the best that I can, because I had a step dad myself and he treated me like total shit.

My youngest one is daddy's girl to the max, but she's needy as shit lol. I admit, as much as it can be a pain at times...I'm embracing it for as long as I can, because I know the day will come when ole dad just isn't important as he used to be. I dread that day.

 

[hit4me4]

No, I pretty much only give out Toke or Informative ratings. It's my way of saying I like or agree, winner, all wrapped up in one.

 

[hit4me4]

My kids are 3 and 5 and are almost 18 months apart. It's good and bad. Good because once we are out of diapers we are done! Bad because they are so close and fight all the damn time. One of their favorite fights is over toys......toys that no one has played with in months. There's a tiny plastic kids tape measure that we've had forever and it will sit in the random toy box in the living room. It will be in that box for months. One of them will pull it out and play with it and the other will see it and either take it away to play with it or try and convince the other to let them have it. No matter the method, it ends in a fight. After the fight we will divvy up a sharing time for them....and then it will end up in the toy box for several months until the next scuffle.

Respect to you yo. I mean that, and not because you can ban me or I'm an ass kisser.

That's got to be difficult to balance things.

I was going to offer further opinion but after much typing and deleting,
I'm going to leave it at that.

Thanks man. One thing I try to keep in mind with my step daughter is, she's had a lot of uphill battles. Diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes when she was 8, and gave herself insulin shots for 2 years before she went on a pump. 8 years old, giving herself shots...being different than all of the other kids, etc.

Then at about age 13 we noticed she was having a hard time w/ her vision. After 6 months of tests w/ specialists across the midwest, she was diagnosed with optic nerve atrophy. Don't know what caused it, and it isn't correctable with glasses or by surgery. So now she's 17, nearly legally blind, can't pass her drivers vision test, has to attend a special driving school to get a license (cost $6k) and wear microscopic lenses when she does get her license ($2k). She has to use an Ipad at school, while the other kids use books...because she needs to be able to zoom in on the text. She has special privileges when she takes exams, etc. So she's always the kid that's "different than everyone else". Then imagine being a teenager and having to wear these crazy glasses every time you drive. Wanna drive friends around with those on? Worried about people laughing at you.

She's also had two grandparents, and three great grandparents pass away. And her mom & dad get divorced early on in life.

So needless to say, I try to take all of those things into consideration when she does something that is trivial. Big picture kind of perspective, ya know. She hasn't caught many breaks, and has still turned out to be a pretty good kid.

My daughter told me quite sincerely that she wants to kill her little brother, she reckons that he doesn't belong in the family and has to go.

They beat the shit out of each other daily. Its great.

Type 2? Type 2 doesn't require insulin.

Also I recommend when the kids act up, double leg to mount to choke

They won't be surprised mother fuckers
