Keep at it! The other day I read a post by a mom whose son, same age as mine, decapitated his Toy Story Woody doll. Cowboy's Woody doll is in MINT condition. Because he had to earn that toy (and the accompanying Buzz) one dollar at a time while we filled out a block chart. Coloring in the blocks one at a time until he had earned 30 blocks ($30) for the two toys. He was 4 when he did this. I don't think he specifically remembers scooping 4 tons of Saint Bernard poop to earn that toy, but somewhere in his subconscious he knows: TAKE CARE OF THIS TOY. IT'S HARD TO COME BY. (And no jokes about the Woody being hard to get.....) Wendy’s last blog post..I Am Not Pregnant

hahaha...so frustrating isn't it? And I totally have Repetition Stress Syndrome. However, I find my nightly glass of wine a perfect cure. Keep those kids workin'! Mommadosey’s last blog post..Goodbye Entrecard. Hello 12-Steps.

When I was 10 I was certain my parents had kids because we were cheaper than servants. The Dental Maven’s last blog post..The Dental Maven on: "Social Networking Sites"

Selective hearing? I think a have a spouse who hears OK but chooses to make it sound like 'selective' purposely. Like I'm the one who didn't get it right. And then says 'I' didn't listen. Just to drive me nuts. Cindi’s last blog post..Leaving On A Jet Plane: The Vicarious Traveler

The McDonald's system....I love that!! My 4-yr old son already has selective hearing...and I'm really bad about just breaking down and doing it myself, which I know is HORRIBLE. I just get tired of hearing my own voice repeat the same things over and over.... Helene’s last blog post..In my own little perfect world...

I'm laughing. The selective hearing loss. That was totally me. My mom had me tested when I was around nine. Damn. I was so busted. The Lawyer Mom’s last blog post..Come Again?

A friend of mine says she doesn't have her kids do chores because when she does she ends up having to be treated for "repetition stress syndrome" via xanax or alcohol therapy. AmyAnne’s last blog post..Heels
