HAHA..I can't fault the kid for trying..his newest line is "I have a good idea Kaff"..than he will proceed to tell me what he wants - a new toy..to play outside..etc.." isn't that a good idea? he'll say to me..

HAHA! usually I'll just "that's a great idea..but it's not happening"

Poor kid. HAHA.

The hard part it's summer and he is still in school..9pm and it's just getting dark..he wants to go outside and play cuz' he doesn't realize it's nighttime.So lately his good idea is "it's a good idea if I go outside and play on swing while you watch me , RIGHT? "
LOL

Ya gotta give them credit for trying. I'm trying to get ChooChoo to understand that even though it's his summertime...mommy still has to work so he has to get up early like I do so he has to still go to bed early. Bummer for ChooChoo. His great idea is that I stop working so he can stay up late and swim all day.

Wouldn't it be great if we could do it? If getting up at 6am, not going to be until 12pm, working all day, etc didn't make us worn out and we could actually do all the things with our kids that we want to. I sure wish I could!

It doesn't end, lol. Last Friday SD14 called DH right before he was leaving work and told him that she had spent the day cleaning and organizing her room and that she and her sister, SD12, were good all day and didn't fight, so she decided she deserved a candy bar. They stay home all day M-F during the summer.

Well, DH had to stop for gas, so he got her one. If that's all it takes to keep her and her sister from fighting all summer and cleaning the house, it will be candy bars abound at our house on Fridays.

My SS is almost 6 and does the same thing. My girls never did that though. That male dominance thing starts young I guess. Aren't THE MANS ideas always the best and most important??? It doesn't really bother me. I just tell him "that is a great idea, you should ask your mom if she can do that for you!!" all excited, like he just came up with the cure for world hunger. He is still so young that he actually DOES go and ask his mom. Wink

my ss does the exact same thing...i just say really? maybe we should call daddy and see what he thinks? ss just gives up because he knows im the soft touch and if i say no, then daddy is for sure gonna say no.

He did that all the time lol

He was born when I was a teenager so I got to babysit all the time. The plus to this was that I got the chance to watch him grow up. When he was five and six he came up with all sort of "great ideas that will work if you just listen to me"
