    What thing about YOU most annoys/annoyed your kids as they were growing up?

    car-technics asked the question "What annoys you most about your parents" several months ago.  It got me thinking about ME as a parent and how much I annoyed (and continue to annoy) my sons.  What, if anything, about YOU, do you think annoyed YOUR kids (or annoys them if they are still minors)?

    Always asking them where they were going, to be home at a certain time and not to hang around with certain kids who were always in trouble.

    LOL.. Mine are really embarrasing so dont tell... Lighting a cig with the toast when I cant find a light... (i smoke out side)


    Walking around in my underwear tring to locate pants.


    And putting every dish i see in the washer, even if they are not done.

    I am fairly sure that my kids would be annoyed with me in that I said I would never have kids and I did not. But that's just a guess work of course they might be happy one never knows about these things.

    Answered it on Car-technics question.

    I could write a book with the things that aggrivate my kids about me. The most recent is a cutlery war I am having with them. This deserves an explanation because you all would think I'm nuts if I didn't.The boys have gotten very lazy over the years and tend not to bring out their dishes from their rooms. I have had wars over this time and time again. We had a fruit fly invasion beyond description this past summer due to it and an argument that went way overboard. I recently had to go hunt down a knife, fork and spoon to feed myself as the tray was empty as usual so I blew a biscuit. I went through their rooms and confiscated every piece of cutlery I could find, washed them, bagged them up and locked them up in my safe. Leaving only a few of each, I began to ask them to "PLEASE" locate the cutlery so I could eat. I didn't want them to know it was me who took everything. My oldest son came to me the other day and said"It really sucks not to be able to even feed myself here." I looked at him and slurped a bite of yogurt with the plastic measuring spoon. Trying not to give away that I have it all I have been using a huge serving fork and a measuring spoon for a week now to show them what it's like to not have anything to use. Do I think it will work? I have no idea, I'm just trying to prove a point, so this will be soon on the top of their annoyance list. I am now out of bowls and have one plate, two glasses and I think three coffee cups left.. So whats next to suddenly disappear? Welcome to life in the crazy house:0

    Three cheers for you, mom. how else do they know how they inconvenience others unless they are inconvenienced as well. Don't tell them what you've done, please. Let them learn the hard way (though you'd think the fruit fly invasion would have done it!)

    This is fantastic. What a laugh!

    I've gotta answer this, too.  My youngest currently hates that I say "I love you" right before I hang up the phone, so fast he can't say anything back, not even "goodbye".  

    I am pretty sure their dad annoyed them no end when his answer to "why" was ALWAYS, "Because I said so". 

    Every single solitary thing about my being drives my eldest daughter completely around the bend and has done since she was ten years old.  My opinions, specifically infuriate her. I gave birth to two more children (the audacity is astonishing) and according to her, I am not a normal dressing Mom (this comes from a person who is anything but conservative)  ... I am a dud Mom ... le' sigh.  She recently stopped calling me anything at all. I am now invisible.  I have lost my 'Mom' status.  I hope she doesn't start calling me by my first name.  That would be very odd... or "Hey You!".  I guess she won't be getting a 'Mom' tattoo any time soon.


    My youngest daughter doesn't like it if I take a photograph of her.  She is an adult now and so chronicling her life is "not happening" any more... She also isn't a big fan of my looking at her with awe.  I love her and I can't help but be amazed... She is lovely.


    My son becomes frustrated when I stop him from smearing ketchup in his hair, move him away from danger and stop him from eating from the dog's dish... He's two.  His issues are small.  He also mimics my younger daughter and does the same thing she does when I take his photograph or stare at him with awe... He is lovely as well.

    There must be a bug going around affecting only the eldest. I apparently don't exist for him. le-sigh for sure. I hope she gets over herself before she loses out on her brother and all the goodness of family. I imagine it is at least a little hurtful. For me, it is a lot hurtful.
    I think you are probably just "too cool Mom".
    Little one should be allowed to smear something in his hair. If it's not ketchup, come up with SOMETHING, Mom!
    Thanks for another great answer, fish girl!
    The younger daughter must just be modest! Keep snapping those photos. Maybe just make sure your mouth is closed when you star at her. :D

    He paints and paints the little joy of mine! Smear and smear... Ketchup makes me crazy because it smells like kethcup.
    I love my girls... I snap and smile!
