This is probably TMI, but I need to find a new kind of brth control. After 11 years I've started to hate the pill. We're not ready to TTC yet, so we need to use something... and I'm willing to take suggestions!

Baby sitting and sleep overs!

I'm not kidding.

My friend slept over this passed weekend and her son was running all around banging the broom on my TV, playing in the kitchen while I'm cooking, chasing my cat (she hissed for the first time ever, she's almost 12 years!!!).

When they left I called my dad hysterical. I was asking him if this is what it's really like!!

Wow! I can't be around those kids, and no they are not all the same. I mean think back to when you were a kid...I was well behaved, my neices are well behaved. It has to do with the skills one has a parent.

dh thinks i am crazy bc i like the feisty kids he says i have issues. Some are evil lol but some are just histerical and just a bit sassy so i can tolerate those type of kids. Most though are good if you know how to handle them. Ive taken care of bad kids but when i am with them we usually have a good time.

I wish I were more like you. I have no patience. I can't stand the kids that run in the mall while their moms are shopping. Once a little girl slapped my hand because she was mad at her mom...I mean what was my fault in that. My friends tell me watch your kid be a terror child...I'm like Nope I'll know how to raise them blah blah blah...I hope that's not the case that I will have an out of control child, but like I said before I feel its how you raise them. Kids like to test their limits.

yeah be careful what you say bc you'll end up with that lol. I think its very hard though bc you see parents with several kids and some are very well behaved and then you have 1 that is a terror lol. Then i've seen bad parents who have angels as kids somehow so its weird how it works out sometimes. I think the problem is that parents just yell NO all the time at kids, no dont do this, no stop right now. If the kid is having fun at what they are doing then they wont stop what they're doing to do nothing. So instead of telling a kid no only, if i am with a kid that is misbehaving, instead I will say, oh lets do this and get them to do a project with me such as drawing or coloring or playing a game. They usually respond to that. But if a kid is told no but nothing else then i think they just are bored and looking for something to do and if they have to stop whatever they are doing and not given something else to do then they will just continue doing what it was they were doing.

I see the parents with kids while they are out shopping. And the parents are just so occupied with what they have to get and is dragging the kid from store to store. This is boring for the kid so i think its only normal they will act out. I think the parent forgets that as a kid its not as fun to shop and running around the mall. Then I see the parent just yelling 'no dont touch this, stop and come next to me' they expect their kid to just follow them around and stand there doing nothing. So i think its only normal they will act out.

Kids are hyper and want to run around and have fun. I understand this. But then there's the safety issue. In my case the baby could have hurt himself in the kitchen or fell down the stairs. He's a toddler and just for a child's safety they need to know that no means stop. Then use something to distract them. I'm not a parent, so maybe I don't know how it is. But I know that a broiler gets pretty darn hot and an oven isn't a toy!!

i didnt mean anything i said towards you. I meant the parents in the stores who just yell non-stop at their kids. I meant parents only not someone taking care of someones kid. I meant parents who ONLY yell at their kids all the time while they continue doing their own business and dont realize the kid is just getting bored after 2 hours in the mall. Of course i would hope people get a baby away from a broiler, but its good you gave them something else to distract them from.

My whole point is that kids sometimes are just bad or very hyper, i don't think its always a reflection of the parents. Sometimes it is and sometimes good parents just have hyper kids lol. I didn't say a parent should never say no but i was talking just about a few specific type of people that you see so involved in the stores looking at shirts, dresses, purses, earrings, and the poor kid is just standing there following the parent with nothing really to do. So yeah i think they will get bored after some time. If the kid even touches anything the parent just yells and tells them to stop but then the parent will continue on with their business and ignoring the kid. In a way the kid i think is doing it to get some attention too. So it really depends on the situation.

But i didnt even read your above post so I dont know what you said previously, i hope you didnt think i meant anything towards you bc i did say parents and talked about a situation at a mall not at home.

Nope not at all!

ok good, bc i didnt want you to think i was criticizing you for how you took care of the child, i would never do that. My point was quite the opposite, we all say now how we would never allow our kids to act a certain way and how well behaved they will be. But I think nobody can ever expect what its really going to be like. Its extremely hard and as much as we all would like angels, we have no way of making sure lol. There are days that will be easy but other days where it will be a nightmare lol. Its hard to control everything a kid does.

No but i have really thought about it, i think my dream job would be to work with kids I don't know why i never persued that lol. I always joke with dh that i want 4-6 kids but yeah not going to happen. As nice as it would be, realistically it would be hard financially.

Yes, last week and i didnt feel a thing. He said i will feel pressure not pain and didnt even feel pressure. I saw him put the tooth on the tray and i said 'oh wow you pulled it out already lol' but yeah after the novacaine wore off then i felt the pain

Maybe you should look into a job working with kids, as a teacher, a social worker, there are so many things. You seem to have the patience and understanding, something that many people lack including myself lol:

Hope you were able to eat soup right away!:

That's exactly why it worked as birth control!
