    Not dealing with this is one of the upsides of a no kid lifestyle. :smile:

    No kidding! :drinker:

    I was just complaining to my husband about this.

    We've been prepping for a yard sale all day, plonked the kids down in front of a movie. I swear, the second that movie is done, suddenly they're hungry, thirsty, have something SO important that they want to tell you...etc etc.

    I feel like I never really get anything done without the TV babysitter. T_T

    I haven't watched the last 10 minutes of anything without interruption in 15 years.

    Its your fault for not using online banking. Who balances checkbooks anymore? Lol :tongue:

    I have to chuckle at this...your right, alot of people dont balance their own checkbooks anymore...but I think thats because alot of the younger generation (not saying you, just making a generalization is all) dont know HOW to balance a checkbook. Goes right along with the 18 year old cashier at the store who rings you up, tells you your total is 15.25, you give them 20.25 and they stare at you confused.

    I think most can handle the $20.25. But if you give them $21 they look at you like you just handed them some colored beads.

    My daughter likes to wait until I'm trying to make an important phone call to tell me a 10 minute story about nothing at all. -_-

    Enjoy this time. Eventually they will be teenagers and they won't ever want to have anything to do with you at any time, unless they want money, the car, etc. Mine are 17 and 20 and they almost never come out of their bedrooms except for school and work.

    I have gotten in the habit of locking the bathroom door. Even if I'm home alone. Come one, can't a guy have 5 minutes with a kid busting in and asking for attention. At least this way, they can't open the door!

    I think I'm going to have to learn Ninjitsu when I have kids just so I can disappear like Batman whenever I need to :P

    One of my sons will come to my bathroom door and want to have a conversation while I'm in there. I've said "What if I went upstairs and talked to you while you were using the bathroom"? He relied. "Ewwww. That's just weird, mom". Double standards, I tell ya!

    I have to do everything during the 30 mins that Caillou is on. Otherwise forget it.
    Oh and as far as my 2 year old is concerned the bathroom is his domain.

    One of the reasons DVRs are a "neccessity". It takes us about 2 hours to watch a 1 hour show. :b
