Office Work, Part Deux: Professional Mayhen

I think it's because then it doesn't splatter on their little feetsies. That's my theory, anyway. Not that my dogs or cats pee or poo where they shouldn't, because they don't. But they always, always, ALWAYS choose to barf on a rug.

This was my thought. If I had to pee on Lino or shag, I'd go shag......hahahaha that is a double entendre!


ANY WHO, I have carpet, thus the Precious barfed all over ti and Mongo's muddied it all up so as soon as the big dog leaves I'm cleaning carpet. My carpet was put in in December just before we moved in. It's super cheap, but it's new.

Wegot, ugh, the fun of teenaged years. Busted time. Make life disgustingly boring for her. We indulge the others a bit more then to make it all the worse, but whatever works for you. That's all we do. I'm not going to nag, gripe or whine to get them to do the work. They will not always be at home and they need to learn the results of screwing up now than later. They don't do it, fine. But your life will be unfair and boring until you remember. They don't turn the work in, fine. But life is boring and unfair.

I do enjoy the extra help at home to do chores when they feel like slacking. I'm a horrible, mean parent. And I love it.

Miss Suzy had a steam boat
The steamboat had a bell,
Miss Suzy went to heaven and the
Steamboat went to...

Hello operator
give me number nine
And if you disconnect me
I will kick you in...

Behind the 'fridgerator
There was a piece of glass
Miss suzy sat upon it
And cut her big fat...

Ask me no more questions
I'll tell you no more lies
The cows are in the pasture
making chocolate cream pies
And lemonaaaaaaaaaaaaaaade


Interestingly enough, there are lyrics on line, but not quite like I remember.....

Also interestingly enough, there is a parental warning on the website I found!

The boy is the same way. He is 16 and can't think of anything higher than his waist. It's BEYOND frustrating. Stupid teenagers.

Not how I remember them either...

Oh ours suffer. There is NO social life. No cell phone, no internet without a parent sitting right there with you for school work, no TV, no video games. Then because clearly if you aren't doing school work, you have all sorts of extra time on your hands, you can do some more chores. Lots more chores.

Then since DH's family did this and got decent adults out of all the kids - while one is on the dire restrictions of doom, the other kids get extra indulgences. They need to go get ice cream. Or to the book store. Or other such unfair abuse as to make sure the dire restrictions of doom really get pushed into the offenders block head. I don't know, seems excessive to me at times, but my family didn't do that and wound up with some really screwed up kids, so I figure if it worked then, it'll work now and it's not too bad.

For EXTRA torment of teenagers - list of classes. They must get the teacher to write down exactly what is due and what tests are coming up. Then I, the evil overlord dictator of doom, must see such horrible information. I don't care if they don't do the work, but I want to know what they are slacking on. Then I know if something isn't turned in properly and the dire restrictions of doom can continue as needed.

Amazingly enough, DSalmost18 kept up that fun for a whopping 9 days before he was sick of it and remembered the 2 brain cells in his head and how to use them.

Well, she's good in English and actually DID turn in her extra credit.

I fully predict she will tell me the Algenbra teacher got the work and lost it. I will suggest that DD go in early and help her 'find' it ALL.

And with the keel-hauling she'll be getting for goofing off on the other things, be sure to praise her up one side and down the other for her positive performance in English.
