Kids and their bad habits

I am the mother of three, all girls.....yes, all girls. They make me laugh all the time, I mean it, they are always doing something that makes me scratch my head, but laugh at the same time. My youngest is fascinated with sticking things up her nose....this is a chronic bad habit. She sticks all kinds of things in her nose, so far it's been taco meat, bits of tissue paper, skittles, a small toy, smarties, m and m's and stuffing from a stuffed animal. We have taken her to have things removed from her nose once and even though they strapped her down and rammed long nosed tweezers up there on their extraction mission, she still sticks stuff up her nose. What do your kids do that makes you ask yourself, what are they thinking? Sometimes I tell myself you have to laugh, what else can you do?

Funny! That was an adorable sharing! My cousins daughter doesn't stick anything up her nose but she has this annoying habit of staring at herself from the web cam. She once chatted with her mother and I was there to fix the computer and she wouldn't even look at her mom! She'd stare at herself, fix her hair, smile a lot and wait for her mom to tell her how pretty she is. Hell annoying! I'm no mom but I don't think that's a good sign. What do you think? Thanks for the response on my discussion!

I have noticed kids doing things like this too. My oldest likes to get on the webcam and make faces at one of her friends who live three hours away but they both get caught up watching themselves make faces. I think it's so funny and cute. I always wonder what's going through kids minds when they are being silly

Kids are really funny most of the times. I have three kids also. They make me laugh most of the times. Because of their funny antics and great sense of humor. Hope we never really grown. So we will always enjoy our youthfulness.

I have two children. My oldest son had a habit of swallowning magnets.. The first time he did it, and we asked him why he swallowed it. He said, he wanted to see if it would stick to his teeth... he was 3. The second time, we haven't a clue what he was thinking... thankfully, he's not done it again, because I was so tired of squishing poo to see if he'd passed it. My youngest, who's 17 months is a bad habit lol. But her worse bad habit... gosh there's so many of them, let me think. Being a night owl is her worst. She hates sleep, she refuses it. Apparently she's just like the new technology, that only takes a few minutes to recharge her battery to get right back up to start annoying me, and causing more ruckus.
