S/O from UO- CPS-worthy behaviors
This discussion has been closed.
Re: S/O from UO- CPS-worthy behaviors
I let DS play alone on the other side of the room while I play Fishville and Farmville.
He likes to chase the cat and often ends up with his face up the cat's arse!
I'll see your chocolate milk and raise you -- b/c I flavored DD's milk with nasty HFCS-containing chocolate syrup! *gasp*
I drink it regularly myself -- so my next baby is already doomed, too.
DD has also had mulled cider, orange juice and egg nog.
Oh, and DH lets her put her mouth on his beer bottles. While she's wearing his baseball cap backwards.

DS gets dessert every night. Usually some sort of cookie...sometimes even two.
We eat lunch at the mall usually once a week...Sbarro's for me, usually BK for him. In my defense, it's the only "meat" the boy eats all week. :::sigh:::
He needs the following items on in order to go to sleep: Fisher Price aquarium, his seahorse, and Scout. He also requires two books and about 8 stuffed animals. Whatever gets him to sleep is my motto.
Joseph can use the cordless drill.
the kid or the dog?
wait? what? which one started the fight? yeah, that one.
This morning I had Judah sitting up on the counter while I washed the dishes.
He eats maybe one meal a day in his highchair. We usually eat sitting on the living room floor or in my bed.
I smoked DS in the face with a pot. I was pulling a big pot of chilli out of the fridge, swung around and kablamo. I didn't realize he had snuck up on me but really every time the fridge gets opened he bolts for it so I should have known.
DS learned the word cookie and would grab my hand and pull me to wear I had them stashed then he'd put his arms up and point to them. I had to give him one each time because, come one it was so sweet.
He also eats off the floor, has chocolate milk, gets snacks in the carseat, gets a sippy in the crib if he wakes too early and has a blanket and stuffed animal in the crib.
I let him play in the dirt, play with rocks and get filthy dirty. He also had a tan this summer.
DS sneaks dog food. He loves it.
I open the oven door while he is in the kitchen and hold him away with one foot while inserting/removing stuff with my hands.
I only change his diaper when it is really puffy, or has poop in it.
Occasionally I'll see him chewing something and I'll make a half hearted effort to remove whatever foreign object he's gotten ahold of, but once I've made sure it isn't something that can choke him I give up.
Ditto all of these except the dog food one (we don't have a dog). But DD likes to sneak toothpaste.
she and timmy were also trading sippies back & forth at our last play date. meh. they'll survive.
LMAO!!! too funny!
This thread makes me roll my eyes a little but it might be me being uptight.
I hope none of you ever have to call CPS for your kids.
But one day maybe you will, you just never know what life will bring. We have had to call CPS for DH's boys twice now and it is one of the most heartbreaking things to go through.
Sheesh, MBW, this is all clearly mocking people who think things are more important than they are, not people who actually have issues that require the state to get involved.
Have you been having trouble with the boys' mom again, because you seem to be taking a lot of stuff personally today, relating it to them.
Sort of. Just weird stuff relating to why we had to call before and we have been worrying a lot about it.
But I think if I had to pin it down it would be seeing in that U/O how people think retarded is so cool and then this. I guess until you live it you really don't have the perspective on it. I probably would have joked about CPS and the word retarded before I was placed in the situation I am in now.
I wouldn't say stick in the mud. Jaded maybe?
I understand. Endangering kids isn't really funny.
I see both sides, though, since we're not currently dealing with any bio-mom drama, so I'll say: I feed my LO popcorn and raisins and let him eat with grown up flatware.
I also have to say I still don't get the Mod-trapper-keeper joke. She's the one who fessed up the other day to keeping her kid penned in a PNP to keep him/her less mobile.
Lol thanks for making me laugh! Seriously, who gives two rats poo what Mod think about you.
Don't get me wrong I do all kinds of stuff I am sure isn't up to perfect mom level. I swear I am not some TV nazi. I was just trying to make the point that if you turn it on everywhere all the time it is easy to slip into the habit of overusing it.
::hugs:: I understand. I saw the two posts, kind of back-to-back, and thought maybe you were a little frustrated.
