"Man-itis" starts Early...

So my son will be 6 on Tuesday. 

Yesterday, My Day for all general purposes, I'm doing the usual weekend routine--cleaning, laundry, etc.  He is watching a movie and the Dachshund from Hell (Marley) is sitting next to him. 

I am passing through the living room and notice a large spot on the couch cushion next to him--no dog to be found.  So I say "Jordan, what's that on my couch?"  Eyes never leaving the TV he replies "I don't know." 

I come closer and ask again.  Still with eyes glued to the TV he then says "It MIGHT be a gel pen?"  (I'm thinking already and I MIGHT f* you up." ) 

So I say still calmly "Where did the dog get a gel pen?  Can he now climb bookcases to get your gel pens out of their box?" 

He then says "It MIGHT have been on the floor."  (Door should be shut to his room if he is not in it.)

So then I say "why wasn't it put up?"  His response...

are you ready for this?  EYES STILL GLUED TO THE TV: 

(insert huge sigh) "I can'****ch that dog every 2 seconds." 

No more might, I swooped his ass up, feet never touching the floor, helped him to the bedroom turning the TV off on the way, and he got the first real azz-whooping of his life.  (pants down, marks left.) 

Why ya'all didn't let me know that "Man-itis" starts this early?  That little _*@$(*#*$ never took his eyes off the TV the whole dayum time.

That was his first??? You are lucky I have two boys and it seems that had it right out of the womb. That was a funny story.

I've popped him more than a few times but never the full on spanking touching skin.  If this new attitude stays, I think it will be the norm.

LOL... I have yet to go through it yet and my brother is 8 but I am sure my time will come for him to start thinking he is grown...

I have to remind myself that although he is a child he is still my child--I thought I was grown too.

Girl get used to it...i have 3 and the two oldest do it all the time....so frustrating...but as soon as tI say I'm going to PAUSE it if you don't pay attention to me...I have their FULL attention...

My question...why do they have to HOLD the remote!

"My question...why do they have to HOLD the remote! "

Well, once u get married, what ELSE do we have control over BESIDES the remote? LOL LOL.

Ok I beg to differ but thats another post......

But we're talking about 6-yr olds! I'm talking my 10 yr old....he has to have his hand on the rmote at all times! I'm like wth....at his point I'd rather he do the Al Bundy just so I can see the remote everyonce in a while!!!

Give him a couple more years and he will be doing the Al Bundy along with taking increasingly long showers--

la la la la la la    looking for a cover up the ears smiley!!!!!!!!!!!!!
