I took off today to watch my two kids (6 & 2) who are both sick. My wife normally does it but I figured what the heck, how bad can it be. A 3-day weekend. NOT!!

They are going to drive me insane. How is it possible that two little rats with 8 years of total life experience has me considering doing a dive out the second floor window in under two hours.

Only 7 hours till she gets home....I'll never make it....

I'll check back in if they don't kill me.....2 year old has the sugar bowl from my coffee.....gotta run.....

Go to block buster and rent every Dora the explorer video they have and if you get the Tree house channel you should be okay. Also take them to the park and run the hell out of them. Running in snow will poop any kid out after an hour! I have a 2 year old nephew and 4 year old niece to look after. My god they have engery to burn.

 

i know how you feel. i am a stay at home dad. so i get to do the fun go crazy thing everyday

 

6 and 2, those are the fun ('ain't they cute') years Wait until they get into the teenage years That's when the _fun_ really begins

Enjoy, wifey will be home soon,

Yep, wait till ya hear.
" Dad I need money., Can I take the truck?, I ditched my car!. I got 2 tickets!, Dad I need money., I think I am pregnant!!!!!!, Dad I burnt the tranny in my car. Need more money for college."

Just put in a video and they will be fine.
I need a video of money, next time my kids ask for money I can just put in the video.

Sled...

 

Here's one for you..."Daddy (daughter says that when shes really done something bad) I just ran into the back of an F-250". She hit the trailer hitch and scratched some rust off. The Toyota Camry...$1.800.00 in damage.

Ah yes, the teenage years, they really think money grows on a big tree in the backyard, don't they?!?!

 

Duct tape.

 

Works great for little kids, and you can convince them its a game.

Tape them to a chair and tell them to try to get loose, hours of fun..

Sled...

 

are they sneezing? two benadryl tablets contain the same amount and ingredients as an over the counter sleeping pill...sneezing gives you an excuse to knock 'em out...

 

Sucker!

Seriously though you know what it worse? 2 sick kids & a sick husband. Why is it that men are the biggest babies around when they get sick? Sorry if I have to take care of myself (& the kids) when I'm sick then you get no simpathy from me when you are. Suck it up buddy, I'm not your mom.

Wow I feel better.

 

Ahhh....the love I feel.....

Well score is Dad 2.....Kids 14.

Got my 2 year old girl to take a nap.

Put my boy in front of the Nintendo.

A breather....wow......

My little girl came in the room and said...."Daddy, come here look at this mess...."

Remember the sugar bowl....well I thought I had that fixed....turned out the sugar looked better on the carpet....how the heck do you work this vacuum cleaner thing. Other than buying the thing I'm stumped.....

4 hours left...where is she.....suicide is an option.....why didn't I buy locking closets.... Benadryl....Benadryl....Benadryl

Dzervit....can I borrow some duct tape?

Well....so much for peace....juice on the couch....gotta go....


Kids 15....Dad 2

 

My favorite from my teenage daughter.."Daddy promise not to yell at me but....

 

Huh... hasn't check in for a few hours. I'm guessing he's under a table crying somewhere or snapped, left the kids home alone and hit the local hootie-cans bar.

 

I watch my brother's kids all the time. They are 3 and 7 and they are both boys. It gets aggrevating sometimes. But the more I hang around the little maniacs, the more I start to act like a little kid myself. You'll get the hang of it.

 

D ROCKS!
