Drop off kid at fire Dept

[snccoulter]

So what is the oldest you can drop off a kid at a fire dept??? Mine is 18 months. She has been a little S%*$ for the last few days becasue she is not feeling well and today she is pushing me. I reached over to wipe her nose and she threw a fit about it reached up grabbed my laptop and pulled it onto its side and broke the crystals in the screen. The light is streaking across the screen as i type burning the screen more and more every moment. As it fell it pulled the full coffey cup i had onto the white carpet leavig on hell of a mess. I would look into replacing the screen but it is a cheap Toshiba and would cost more then it is worth now to repair it. oh and no i would not drop her off at the fire dept I just needed to vent. (Police Station maybe)

RDWHAHB...I REPEAT...RDWHAHB. Shes only 18 months old dude. Take it easy.

Rough day. It's not abuse to stick them in their cribs while you chill! Toss her in their with a couple toys and a sippy cup and relax in the other room with a beer.

And whats a maby? Some type of 3rd world animal? Or maybe you meant something else?

 

[motobrewer]

hm, didn't really know you could do that....

she's just a baby dude, and she doesn't feel well. if you need a moment put her in her crib and step outside.

you're kid is sick and you're bombing around HBT? lay down with her on the couch, take a car ride, give her some baby Tylenol, read a book, play with toys, do something.

You too were 18 months old & probably didn't make your folks happy all the time. They do grow up and become mature adults just like you. It's your job to show them the way.... I always tell parents with little ones. "Love 'em & Hug 'em 'cause they'll be gone before you know it!" Isn't life just amazing! Cheers!!!

Fxied ti fro uyo hpoe ti bedder tihs tmie...

I never said i was going to. I just needed to vent. Playing Mr. Mom for a while gets a bit rough everynow and then. Expecially when the little one is having issues sleeping and the 3 year old decided 4 am was party time. At least the 5 year old was excited about school this morning.:rockin:

I have a 17 year old, a 12 year old and a 7 year old. Will the fire department take them???

 

[ChshreCat]

I remember the first time a moment like that came up with my daughter. That's when I realized that I wasn't the kind of person to abuse their children because if I was... that would've been the time. It was actually kind of comforting when I thought about it that way.

I know, 18 month-olds totally act like babies sometimes. GEEEZ!

 

[Flomaster]

mini me is 17 months old and has caused plenty of damage already.. LOL.

laptop keyboard just got replaced because his little fingers were able to pull off nearly half the keys and several broke where I couldn't replace them.

carpet is ruined from spills and needs replaced.

Wife has gone through 2 cell phones because she let him play with them and some how some way they were rendered useless afterwards.


he think's he's a mountain goat/ monkey and climbs up on just about anything and everything.

I know he's young and doesn't know any better SOME TIMES, but he does know "NO" and "GET DOWN NOW" because as he's climbing up on the kitchen chair to get onto the table he says "get down nao" ROFL..


I love him to bits and wouldn't have it any other way.

Why cant they all act grown up at this age I could understand 12 months acting like a baby but 18 months is just not right...

Oh I understand that. She did not get smaked hit or shaken. But she did get her nose cleaned and then set off the the side so I could clean up the mess. Then I took a break and vented on the computer. Becasue it is just me and 2 small children at the house and my 3 year old did not want to listen to me bitch. Some people here cannot take a joke.

There was a case a few years ago where a dad did it with a 17 year old and it worked. They quickley changed the law. the law is suppose to be for parents that ARE going to hurt a newborn. I should know I was a cop for 15.5 years. I believe the cut off now is a month or something like that.

I hear ya.. sometimes it's easy to forget that they are babies/children. My daughter is a little over 2yrs now and she throws tantrums all the time. It starts to wear on me for sure. I just laugh and think about that shirt I sometimes see, "Daddy drinks because I cry..."

Anyways, sick kid is no fun for you or for her - some of my most miserable times in the past two years have been when she's sick. Hope she feels better soon.

good point.

being dad can be hard because were not wired to be caring and forgiving like women are. (atleast im not) but if you can get through the first two years with out shaking your baby then atleast you know your a good person. and when you look back the stories will be funny instead of maddening

People in this forum need to remove the sticks from their corn holes.

"oh and no i would not drop her off at the fire dept I just needed to vent. (Police Station maybe) "

My friends kid is a little older and likes to punch him in the crotch randomly. Just remember, it could be worse.

 

[snccoulter]

On a positive note it is only going to cost me 60 bucks to replace the screen.....sure is better than a new one...

 

[bruin_ale]

that's good news.. BTW, white carpet with three kids?!? what are you crazy?

 

[jds]

Totally understood, OP.

My kid's 8, and I sometimes wonder if I can drop her off at the fire station... Any dad who tells you he's never had the same thoughts is probably lying to you or to himself. Cheers!

I remember a few times when kiddo was in those bad toddler times when I put her in her crib and walked away for a while. I remember dealing with a fit at the grocery store in a similar way. Out to the car, strap her into the car seat, stand outside with the doors shut and let her wail as much as necessary to calm down.

Wait till you get to stool withholding, ugh.

This. I knew all those posts were coming.

but if you can get through the first two years with out shaking your baby then atleast you know your a good person.

wow, way to set goals and standards. Try not to be too hard on yourself though.

 

[SwampassJ]

They do that?! Lets see them hold in prune juice.

 

[snccoulter]

White carpet only becasue it was in the house when we moved in. It will be gone and replaces with hard wood in a few years till then we are being as nice to it a possiable. There is no reason to replace it untill it gets bad...

 

[motobrewer]

Some people here cannot take a joke.

yeah, child abuse....funny chit man!

 

[rycov]

yeah. i try not to set my goals and standards to high. that way i'm less likely to fail and be dissapointed

 

[bruin_ale]

I can't get my daughter to drink prune juice. Tried it, didn't work. Not sure if she was holding it in or if it just didn't want to come out. Either way, we have to give her laxatives to keep her regular (docs orders). Not particularly happy about it, but dealing with screaming and crying every two/three days when she'd get backed up was making us all miserable.

 

[SpanishCastleAle]

I thought you were supposed to drop them off at the pool?

Careful OP,
apparently having children puts undue stress on one's sarcasm meter.

 

[snccoulter]

Actually it is not conciderd child abuse taking a child to a fire dept or a police station or a church. It is conciderd a safety step as to not hurt them. Every state has the surrender law. and if you read the first post i was venting so i would get the anger off my chest and not be mad at her. I cleaned her nose and set her down and vented away from her. Do you have kids? have you ever been mad at them what did you do? did you vent about their dumb act or did you spank them? I vented no spanking no shaking no yelling no slaping the hand. I know she is 18 months and her mental capablity is not there to know what will happen so there is no reason to punish. and i already know what the requirments are for turning in a kid and i would not do it...If i really was that angry at her my wife would come home or i would take Cora to a friends house to play. (Parents speak up here) have you ever asked a friend if they wanted anouther when yours was acting a fool???

A friend of mine has a daughter that witholds. it has been going on for a long time. the mom finally has her seeing a shrink and it seems to help. Aparentally the girl has some mental issues that are really messing her up. It is really hard on the family, but they are working through it now.

 

[motobrewer]

i do have kids. 3yo and a....18mo old. i stayed home yesterday because our 18mo had a cold. she wasn't pleasant.

i never took your original post to mean you were gonna abuse your infant. but to say "people can't take a joke" after your OP is just stupid.

when my kid (mostly the 3yo) is having a big fit, we sit on her bed together until she calms down. there's nothing to ever get worked up about, i just take it as it comes. neither of them have ever done anything to make me want to "turn them in", including this morning when my 3yo decided to purposefully put yogurt on my dress pants while i was picking the 18mo out of her crib. i guess i'm a pretty calm guy by nature.

here's a tip - don't put a screaming infant next to a laptop.

Any parent who tells you they have never gotten frustrated/angry/at the end of their rope with their child is either lying or has been a parent for less than a week. We all experience it, the difference is in how you handle it. Put the child where they are safe and walk away for a few minutes, or beat the crap out of them until they shut up? Obviously, you are doing the former, and that is the proper way to deal with the situation.

If you think it's tough now, just wait until they're teenagers. Teenagers are truly God's way of punishing us for enjoying sex!

Well Done that man for venting on here. If you ever want to vent your anger again, please phone me and rant and rage at me. Then get back to loving your children.
