Just once I would love to ask them to do something like get their coat and shoes on and then have to them do it. Or ask them to pick up the toys and have them run into the room and pick up with out me have to ask them five times which in turn frustrates me and turns my asking into yelling.
But even though, I would like my children to listen to me, there are times that I really don't want them to hear what I have to say. You know like when a bad word comes out of my mouth when I am frustrated with something or when I am annoyed with their father.
It figures that they would listen to that and that it would come back to haunt me.
Hayden: Hey, Dad. Thanks for playing this game with me. And I don't think that you are a jerk.
Jeff: *dirty look in my directions* Thanks, buddy. Has mommy been using bad words again?
Hayden: Yeah.

That's AWESOME! Makes me laugh... and that's always a good thing.
That's always the way! In my house, jerk would probably have been replaced with a far less endearing word. Like asshole.
That stinker! Mine allows rats on me when I speed. "Mommy was driving really fast today." Yikes!
Too cute!! Thanks for the chuckle!!

bwwwhhhhaaaaaah!
Haha! That is always the case, isn't it? My children NEVER listen to me, either. Like, NEVER. They always want to get their way, or watch out! And yes, I have said many bad words that they have repeated and I feel terrible about it every single time!
oh no! That is hilarious! At least he (and you) said "jerk" and not a few other words that it could have been... ;)
Actually, they are listening to every word coming from your mouth ALL of the time!! They just pretend like they don't hear you when it suits them!
I have one daughter who can procrastinate so bad when we get ready in the mornings! And I sometimes just have to walk around the kitchen island and count to ten; give her her space and try again!
That is so true! One time I burned my hand and let a bad word slip. My two-year old at the time then repeated that word for WEEKS to anyone who would listen. And they would look at me like, "is she saying what I think she's saying?" Kids are so helpful!
LOL too funny- and that is the way it always happens here too.
Lol! Sorry you were tattled on. And yes, why can't they just listen the first or heck even the second time??
I think the same can be said for husbands. Mine rarely listens to me unless I mutter something under my breath. hehe.
The little tattletale!
Amen to that sister! I'm waiting for the day when Nico repeats my obscenities in front of my in-laws. They are liable to think that I loath, and not love, my husband. Damn it!
DUDE! That is so my kids. I get thrown under DAILY UGH!
It's like they are programmed to remember stuff they shouldn't. Although jerk is pretty lukewarm as far as I'm concerned.
hahahaI am still laughing. That figures, eh? I cannot tell you how many times my oldest threw me under the bus like that too.
Funny how that happens!!!! Thank goodness for the Wii. "If you don't listen there will be no Wii this weekend.............."
Bahahahahahaha!!! You are living my life!!!!
Poor Hayden -- so young, so naïve. One day, you too will realize the truth.
Haha, very nice :) Just think though, now you have leverage for every time he wants to do something stupid in his teen years..."um, you told dad I called him a JERK, so, no." :) Perfect plan!
LOL...hilarious! Kids always listen when you don't want them too!
Awesome. Simply awesome, Jen.
And the picture that you choose to go with this couldn't be more perfect.
You definitely are not alone, my friend. When my son starts to say what sounds like sh*!, I cut him off, look at my husband, and blame the kids at school. :)
I could have written this myself! Are you sure my boys aren't hanging out over there?
The photo of your kids in your header? Classic!!!!
Whoa, thank goodness he said "jerk". It coulda been way worse. Like, if he'd called Jeff a turd.
Go figure, are all kids this way??? I want tell on you for saying bad words so can I have the good chocolate???
hehehehe...that's funny! ;-)
Oh the rotter!
I remember one day when Nat was small, I was pushed beyone endurance getting him ready for Day care. After multiple trips up and down the stairs with bags and child, I realised that his little sandals were still upstairs.
"Oh, I forgot the friggin sandals!" I said.
"The figgin sandals. Figgin sandals," he said.
I had to call them "the dear little sandals" fifty times in the next five minutes to make him forget.
And the sandals were actually downstairs all the time, as I found out after trudging upstairs to find them. Figures.
I always get, "what?" about 6 times. Kids hear key words: cookie, toy, park, McDonalds....etc. They do not hear (listen) to other words. But we were never like that. We always listened to our parents! ;o)
We have the same problem over here. Half the time I wonder if my son even knows where he is and then the next thing you know he is throwing me under the bus (for something I didn't even realize he realized..make sense?)

Kids have a knack for this don't they? It is so frustrating what they choose to hear and then choose NOT to hear.
LMAO!!! omg Jen....priceless...just priceless!!
Love this.
My kids have done the same. I accidentally used the word moron once (towards his Dad) and then I heard Tommy saying to his friends, "Come on, don't act like a moron, let's play army." Oops.
Yep, that's how it works. They only tune in when you don't want them to.
Oh, If only 'jerk' was the worst word my kids have heard me say.
Ah - selective hearing - I think they get it from their fathers;-)
So true! Kids only listen when they want to- which is usually when you DON'T want them too!
My kids have selective hearing too. Wish they had selective repeating!!
My girls tell everyone I am a grease and salt junky and if popsicles were made in Frito flavor, I would be a hoarder and have my own show on TLC. (wonder where they heard that?)
No more good treats for that stinker!! Feels a little like when my boy called the dog a Jackass in front of my In Laws. I was SO proud!
Sounds like my house. It feels like my kids never listen to me, except to repeat the stuff I don't want them too! Funny.
Ahahahaha, so funny! My sister was a dead ringer for Shirly Temple. Blonde ringlets and adorable. People always wanted to touch her. An entire Japanese tourbus took turns taking pictures with her, once. Eventually something similar to, "Don't touch me, bitch" started coming out of her preciously little 3 year old mouth, eventually. Whooops, no idea where she got that one.
