Kids can be so gross! Are yours?

[patnjess]

eww got a farting one that you guys just brought up, when my 7 y/o was learning to talk he said just 2 word sentences. And i was holding him at the reception area of the dermatologists office, when he tooted. So what did he say loudly, "Mommy Fart!"

I was so embarrassed

Children are oh so much more germ infested and gross than any animal I've ever owned...lol. My dogs eat chicken poo, and I can still say that after reading some folks' responses

I agree with you guys, and it just confirms to me that not having children has been a wise chioce.

Two boys and one girl here.

After the first few attempts to improve their aim, they were made to sit down while watering. Plain and simple my wife and I were not put on earth to clean their mess. All kids grown and gone now, living in their own homes so I could care less, long as I ain't got to clean it up.

True story: My brother called me, said he had some repair work in his bathroom that he needed help with. My brother while never being lazy, was all thumbs on a left hand. I go to his house and the repair work consisted of replacing the wall plate, dry wall and finish behind the toilet. When I asked if he had a water leak he just kinda shrugged and said you know how little boys are. He had a 16 year old that wasn't expected to hit the toilet, or even clean up after himself. Now my brother and I were raised in the same home with the same mother, my mother was from the old school, you better not leave a trace of ever having been in the bathroom let alone drip on the floor or seat. If you did, you'd find yourself scrubbing the bathroom top to bottom, right then. Now his 16 year old son was not even expected to hit the toilet. Told my brother I would have either had him peeing in the yard or sitting like a girl, period the end.

As for being gross, not as a child, my mother saw to it that we stayed straight or else. And buddy believe you me, you never wanted "or else".

Oh, and I have also been blamed for passing gas in public by my children when it was one of them. They make sure everyone within earshot knows it, too.

When my son does this I start LOUDLY acting like a special needs person. He stopped doing it in public with me around.

As the mother of two pre-teen girls, let me say that boys are not the only gross ones! My girls manage to totally gross me out at least once a week, but usally it's more like once a day. My older daughter, I don't know if she doesn't wipe, or doesn't wipe enough, but her underwear always have these big, nasty skid marks in them. Oh how I hate washing them!!!

She's also, by nature, a picker. Picks her nose, picks scabs, picks at her skin, and over the winter she picked her one heel so severely that she couldn't walk on, yet she continued to pick at it! I got it to heal up with that Heeltastic stuff they advertise on tv, but the recovery took longer than usual because she wouldn't stop picking. She's not particularly a nervous child, she just can't keep her hands still. I assume it's part of her ADD. And my younger one, she's going through round two of being on strike about showers. She will go a week without a shower and I end up sometimes having to drag her into the bathroom and physically putting her in the shower in order to get her to take one. As pre-teens the body odors can get quite gross sometimes. Oh, and my younger daughter also refuses to wear socks with her gym shoes. I can't be in the same room when she takes them off, they smell soooooooo bad! I taught her how to add cornstarch to her shoes, but she doesn't do it often enough for my taste. Needless to say, even though it's April, I bought her flip flops! They try to get out of brushing their teeth, using deodorant, etc. Their bedrooms are already beginning to get that locker room smell that my cousin's did when he was a teenager. I couldn't stand being in his room back then. It's barely tolerable now that he's 21. Oh, and they try to fart at the dinner table. I do not tolerate that though. They aren't too bad about table manners otherwise. Their father and I are no longer together, but he was probably the most disgusting person I've ever known in my life. One of those people that if I had any idea about his bad habits, I certainly would NOT have gone on to have 2 kids with him! He used to literally drive me to throwing up from what he would do. And I spent a long time after he moved out cleaning up all the disgusting messes he had left behind. I'd give everyone nightmares if I said the things he did. It gives me nightmares just thinking about it! I am hoping that as my girls grow up, they will be less "nasty". I didn't do half the things they do when I was their age. I would have either been backhanded or had the belt taken to my rear end. Granted, a lack of deodorant doesn't deserve a beating, but I believe that it's a common courtesy for the people around you. Oh, and don't even get me started on the fact that neither one of them can hit the broad side of a laundry basket, including with those nasty, skid marked underwear.

I'm so glad they aren't both like that with their panties...

I came out from the bank one day to find pickles and buns smashed all over the inside of my van windows....

Now the shocker (they are teens)..

That isn't the shocking part... There was funny impressions on the back windows... I found out later.... from their butts!!!

And to make matters worse.... they did it while I was driving!!

 

[claud]

You mean they don't grow out of this??? Oh, I was soooo hoping this was a 4 yr old thing!

My soon-to-be 4 yr old DS seems to suddenly be obsessed with poop. I think every sentence has the word poop - talks about it, sings about it, and thinks it's the most hilarious thing ever.

No too much trouble with boogers.......................yet.................

One of my sons held the nickname skid-mark until he was 6.

As the mother of 3 teenage boys i could easily write a novel on the disgusting things I have been subjected to over the last 18 years. When the oldest was 4 and the youngest was 3 months old I dubbed myself the QUEEN OF BODY FLUIDS for a reason. By the time my oldest was 14 I believed there wasn't anything on the planet more disgusting then the things I had already dealt with.


I WAS WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Sometimes the conversations I overhear are far more disgusting then anything I ever had to pick up or scrub clean! As they gather with their friends in the living room they tend to forget that I am but one room away, I hear everyting they say to each other. Over the years I have cleaned up many pounds of human body fluids of every type. But if you truly want to be grossed out - try being a fly on the wall. You will be stunned and more then a little grossed out by what you hear.


This is a family forum and out of respect for younger female ears I will repeat NONE of what I've heard here. Simply trust me on this and be happy it's only boogers and farts. For once you hear something you can't unhear it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
