Oh! The Drama!

I love it! Do you have a solution for the 4 year-old who races into the house after every, single trip and has all of her clothes off before I have a chance to hang our coats? (Telling me to suck it up doesn’t count.)

ck’s last blog post..what’s that? (shower edition)

OMG, if my kids ever find this blog they will hate you forever. I’m usually pretty good on my own, but you are bringing it to a whole new level!

My kids know that if their grades aren’t good enough or I don’t think they are paying attention in class, that I WILL go to school with them. lol Haven’t had to, just the threat and the fact that I know all their friends is enough to scare the crud out of them.

I had a similar problem. It was the “waking up and getting out of bed” problem. So one morning we just piled into the car with empty stomachs, in our PJs, and drove to school. The change of clothes in the backseat magically made their way onto Mr. M. Problem solved . . . for the most part, anyway.

Genius.
I’m filing this gem for later use with my daughter. She is not the typical girl hysterical over what to wear. It’s the getting the clothes on part that makes my head explode.

I don’t know what it is that takes my 13-next-week daughter so long to do. She gets dressed, comes out to eat breakfast, then disappears into the black hole she calls a room (which currently hosts zero toys) until I threaten to drive off without her. Fortunately, she believes me. For now. I may have to follow through on my threat one day, which I’m totally willing to do. The biggest problem is the two absorbing her every move.

The other day I drove to pick up Dolly from school in a drumming downpour. With lightning cracking and thunder bellowing, little kids dawdled to cars and took their time buckling in. Dolly came tearing up to our car, which was still about 20 cars back in the line. She had given up on those slow kids, scared of the storm, and ran through the rain to the safety of our car.

Hubby was on the phone at the time and I complained about the extreme length of time it was taking to get all these kids sorted out under the circumstances, and he cracked me up.

“It’s because no one has ever taught Suzie Entitled Princes or Joey Slow Poke to get an F-N MOVE ON. No one has ever made these kids hurry in all their lives. Why should they move it so that someone else can get out of the storm?”

I applaud you for making your kids get a move on. Taking your kid to school naked makes our society a better place.

Will have to wait until the weather warms up to do this one. I don’t want to be stuck with a sick drama queen too. This is definitely a secret weapon to keep in my tool box. Thanks so much for sharing this story!

This reminds me of the time I took my then 3 y/o (now 12) to preschool in his pajamas. He had to change into his clothes at school. We never had that problem again.

You are officially my parenting idol. Pure genius.

On the heels of that I am almost ashamed to admit how much time my fourteen year old spends getting ready in the morning. She blames digestive issues, but I know how much time she spends applying her black eyeliner, flat ironing her hair, moisturizing, etc. She doesn’t get it from me, I can be out the door in five minutes on any given day. She must get the drama queen genes from her dad. I’m pretty sure my two year old son is on the same path, except reversed, he spends all day trying to get naked.

You are my hero. Supernanny has nothin’ on you. i would invite you to my house to whip my kids in to shape but I couldn’t afford to pay you what you’re worth for doing so.

I LOOOOVE the idea of taking my kids to school naked. Even at 3 1/2 we have constant battles over what my girls will wear to school. Or what we will have for dinner. Or what book to read at bedtime. Or… well, you get the picture. With four girls I know the teen years are going to be FILLED with drama.

I absolutely love this. Putting them in the car naked… That totally sounds like something I would do – If i’d thought of it.

My 3 year old loves to dress himself but usually ends up in blue checked pants and an orange striped shirt. And no underwear or socks. Since he loves to be naked that wouldn’t work…he’s always been a challenge.

Annita’s last blog post..Gratituesday: Brotherly Love

You must have stopped by my house this morning or any morning for that matter. I love the idea of sending them naked to school and we are doing just that tomorrow. The drive to school is only about 1 1/2 minutes since we usually walk but it is supposed to be cold tomorrow morning, actually I like the idea of her walking to school naked. She might not mind since I found her naked in the backyard this weekend…

I have no idea why this system is linking me to some random stranger’s blog when I leave a comment. . I would never write about dancing with the stars. I am now perturbed.

Fabulous! I only wish I could do this to my 14 year old, but she’s bigger than me.

A friend gave me this advice on having a girl:

If you ever want to be on time once they reach their 10th birthday, remove all mirrors from your home.

This is the best solution to the wardrobe drama I have ever heard. I never took my kids to school naked, but there were a couple of memorable underwear moments they still talk about. Heh.

I actually have threatened to make my oldest go to school naked with unbrushed hair and teeth. However, I haven’t actually thrown her in the car like that. Now that I know that it is in the Mother’s Handbook, I just might do it.
