It's same in mine. No one ever seems to hear would you take out the trash or put up the dishes, but they somehow know when the goodie bag has been opened. Open a bag of chips - hey can I have some rings through out the house, open a package of Oreo's and everyone is standing behind me with a plate and glass for milk???

I hate it when family members assume that because you have thus-and-such they have a perfect right to demand to use it. Yeah, like I'm a free rent-a-center.
Example: My parents used to have a lot of chickens. They were mostly trios of different types of cochins, but we had a big main flock of Australorps and Buff Orps that ran around the yard. (Yard being chicken yard -- fenced and everything.)
In 1999 my dad and I started playing hopscotch as to who was in the hospital. That lasted until 2005 when he died. (Same day of Katrina, though unrelated.)
Anyway, we downsized through all that until we didn't have any chickens or call ducks. The cages/pens have been empty since then.
This spring, I decided to get some chickens. Partly because I like them and partly because I hate the prices of eggs at the store. My aunt, who lives about half a mile from us, had three something-or-other banty hens. She decided to get a couple of pairs of bantams when I got mine.
" I don't have a place to keep the new chickens (3 Mille Fleurs that are squirrelly as all get out and a pair of bantam Columbian Rocks) so I'm going to use your empty chicken pens. BTW, I need to have my chickens all get used to each other. So I'm going to bring my 3 over and put them next to my new chickens. Later on, I'll come get them and take them home."
Guess who feeds her chickens most of the time? Hint: I feed mine everyday and am at the yard at least twice a day. I haven't seen my aunt in nearly a week. I feed and water her chickens because I feel sorry for them and don't want them to suffer. Which is probably what she was counting on. I feel like packing up her chickens and dropping them on her doorstop. But it would be the chickens that paid for it, not her.
Irks me no end.
un
Now she's working on her house roof due to past storm damage to shingles. Mom needs a ladder to work on the roof of a storage building. Guess where our ladder is?! Will my aunt bother to bring the ladder back? Heck no. I'll have to walk over and get it. Unless I want to put it on the roof of Mom's suburban. (My cuz had a pick up truck and it was easy for him to pick up the ladder.)
Is it a crime to remove stupid and/or unconsiderate genes from the gene pool?

Oh my goodness....That is my house to the T....
Someone in the livingroom watching t.v.
2 others in the livingroom talking.
t.v. goes up because 1st one can't hear it over the talking.
so the 2 who are talking have to start talking louder because they can't hear each other over the t.v.
t.v. gets turned up louder once again..
talking now becomes a shout.
t.v. goes to max volume
talking goes to getting out the megaphones.
I stand quietly in the kitchen trying to eat my candy bar in peace and quiet (wink wink). And all the sudden somebody over the t.v. being at full volume and the talkers using there megaphones...hear the faints sound of my ever so quietly being opened candy bar....And all the sudden I feel like I am the deer about to become pray surrounded by a pack of rabid lions..........
Another situation.....
I am cleaning the house getting ready for a birthday party for our oldest daughter...Everyone else must of forgotten to put in there hearing aids because noone else heard me ask them to help out for the last week. I think everyone needs glasses too because no one was able to read the notes I left asking each one to do a certain job. Maybe they can't read I don't know....Well anyway working away as I may be hubby who hasn't helped at all finally asked (one day before party) what we are getting the birthday girl.....And what are we (meaning me) going to find time to go get it. I quietly tell him what we got her...The girls were both up in there rooms doing who knows what--other than it wasn't cleaning it....
And all of a sudden our 6 year old comes running down the stairs screaming how she want's a digital camera and it isn't fair that her older sister is getting one and not her. (first off it isn't even her birthday it's her older sisters). She proceeds to run up stairs and tell her sister she doesn't like her and hopes no one comes to her party because it isn't fair she is getting a camera. So down the stairs comes older sister screaming and all excited about getting a camera...The hysteria is starting...Dogs are running around barking...pig is running around the house squealing because the dogs are barking. older daughter screaming of excitment because of the camera, younger daughter screaming at top of lungs how unfair we are because she didn't get a camera(not even her birthday). hubby decided to turn on t.v. and watch football and full volume...I stand there wondering if I should suggest going some where for supper--didnt' have to speak it even just think it...All is calm in the house everyone quiet and getting along and ready to go to somewhere to eat.
What a crazy hectic life/family I have....
Wouldnt' trade it for the world...

This happens every day when my DS comes home from school. I'm watching The Haunted. He comes in and starts playing his AMV's, which proceed to get louder and louder.
I turn off the TV and leave the room, then he gets PO'd because I left because I can't hear the program I was watching.

to your #2 how else am i going to explain a three year old ? espec. if they are not raised around horses, you have to go down to their level
# 6 do you have kids or have you ever been one?
I cannot put three kids in my cart and still do the shopping. So they have to walk NEAR me.
9# i dont like vegetarians that tell me how unhealthy it is to eat meat and how the animals must suffer. I know what i am doing.
#6? Young goats or children? I do NOT have kids, but I do have 6 children! I go thru this EVERY DAY at work:
Picture this- I work in a fast-food fish restaurant-Menu: "Kids Meals"!
I listen patiently while the customer(s) orders from the menu board, orders a "kids" meal, and I'm tapping on the register keys everything the customer(s) are ordering. After they've finished ordering, I read back to them what they've ordered and I say children's meal........btw........on the registers, it's "kids" meals! LOL!!
1.)kids are young goats, NOT children!
**Edited for content**
4.)
I had a niece almost get hit by 3 cars in 5 minutes,after being yelled at by her mother, an older relative jerked my niece out of harm's way each time! I kid you not-I was there to witness!
Parents are supposed to be security for their children, but, when you teach your children to run from you in fear of being hit or spanked, after they've done something wrong, you have taught your children that YOU are the danger!
When my husband was working with the Military Sealift Command as a civilian onboard a ship, I was raising our first son by myself. Terence was just under a year old and I was pregnant with our next son. I had taught Terence that when he came when I called to him, he got a smile, hugs, kisses and "I love you" said to him.
If he was out of my arm's length when I saw him doing anything he wasn't to be doing, I'd go to him and take him away from that area (stairs), telling him no playing on stairs, and put him inside his playpen for 5 minutes, this was done without a smile, hugs.....Things like touching electrical sockets, plants, trash, ect...I would slap his hand once and say don't touch that! I would then pick him up, and again without a smile, hugs.....put him inside his playpen for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes were up, I would go to Terence and pick him up with a smile, hugs, the whole bit!
I never had Terence run from me in public like I've seen other children run from their parents at the age of one.
My husband got back from ship and what did he do the first time Terence did wrong?
Called Terence to him and spanked him !
I kid you not! Terence learned from his father to run when his name was called!
I explained to my husband the way I had been raising Terence and that this way was working. His stupid response was We are going to raise him the way He was raised "the RIGHT" way, NOT the 'WHITE" way. That's why my neice ran from her mother!! In their family, children are diciplined by being beaten! I was raised the same way, running from my mom or dad because I didn't want to be hit with the belt, but, I was NEVER BEATEN. Me and my children are living a better life without that way of life. My children, ages 19 thru 11, have thanked me for raising them up differently! BTW, my children are all mixed- BLACK,WHITE,RED!
WHOA and WOW! I'm so sorry this took up so much room! I just needed to rant about things that get on my nerves!

got to agree with the last poster about the kids nowadays. The language they use sometimes...
i just have to listen to my stepdaughters. My oldest wont say a bad word at all, not even when you ask her to. If i call my kids and want to let them know that it is serious i just have to add"dunnerkeilwetternumolna" yeah i kow its a long word . But they know when i start in german oh-ohh. Unfortunatley due to Sebastian condition stuff that works for regular kids doesnt work for him. If i get too loud or angry he just freezes up and runs to hide. He sometimes just cant help himself acting out . He can be a angel the one minute and do something incredilbly "stupid"(in other peoples eyes" the next.
My kids are somewhat mixed, they are american of scottish-irish and some seminole ancestory and 50%german(thats me)
one thing though according to merriam webster , there is more than one use for the word kid
here is a link

You know what I hate??? I haven't really seen this problem AT ALL on this forum since I've been a member (still pretty new), but still, it's WAYYYY better than others...
I absolutely cannot STAND the horse forum I am (was) a member of. Those people think that if you don't own a $30,000 horse and a 50 horse stable, with five training rings, grooms and all that, that you aren't capable of caring for your horse.
They flame you for absolutely no reason, it's unbearable. Someone started a thread about ugly babies, and how they hated babies and kids, and I absolutely LOST it, I let them know exactly what I thought about them and their forum, and I went so far as to post a picture of my baby's gravestone, and told them I was done with them.
