"I Know" - drive me NUTS!!

LOL, but what a precious age! I love them when they start learning whole sayings and they get stuck, LOL. Mine is repeating myself over and over and over and over again. No, not just with the children. I understand them a bit, their little minds are going so fast sometimes, I know they can't remember too well. It's my husband! Every week I have to say on Tuesday, "Don't forget to take the garbage out". Then again on Wednesday morning (garbage day) "Don't forget to take the garbage out". Then after he goes to work, you got it, I have to take the garbage out. Then when I confront him, I get to hear, "Well I didn't know". This is our little drama every week. UUUUGGGGG! :-)

Have you gone through the "Why?" phase yet? LOL Oh wait, maybe he has already gone through the Why phase because he already knows. ha ha I like to play with them when they do that. Start out asking easy questions...what color is the sky? What color is the grass? Then you can ask harder questions that a almost 4 year old will not know the answer to...then you can joke with him that he doesn't know. Then, he will understand what the phrase "I know" means. Right now he is just using it because he had heard it from someone else so much. LOL And sadly, now you are hearing it too much. Wait until you get to the other phases...."What?", "I don't know", "I didn't do it", "But sissy did", "For real" and my favorite that drives me batty..."Always sometimes". Now, how can something be always sometimes at the same time? I have been trying to get the point across to my daughter that it is not possible. It is either always or it is sometimes. But she keeps saying it! ha ha

Kids have the ability to annoy the same as a skip in an old vinyl record. Early on in my life, I acquired the ability to shut off annoying sounds. When I worked at our local high school, the noise wasn't so bad as the multiple conversations that went on while you were trying to do your work. The office manager asked me how I was able to work with all the noise going on around me. I looked at her oddly and said I didn't hear any noise. She said that she would never be able to work with such distractions. I just smiled because I knew she couldn't either.

I just moved in with my sis and her 2 year old son. So am not yet adapted to saying {oh my goodness} rather than OMG ect. So every time I say anything bad at all, the 2 year old corrects me before his mom can say anything. I am doing better but it drives me nuts to have a 2 year old correct my speech.

LOL. too funny. I have tried that baby sitting thing before and they all drove me nuts LOL. I was babystting this one little girl and I gave her a coloring book and crayons to color with while I fixed her some lunch. She was one of those types, where you just dont turn your back on LOL. you know what I mean. now keep in mind we just moved to this area into our brand new home LOL, and Im babysitting for a living. anyways as I start to cook I keep glancing at her to see what she is doing. Well she was being good I thought and coloring away LOL. Well I soon noticed that she had one hand down beside her. I thought okay whatever. So, I went on cooking and every time I looked over at her she was already looking at me. I just knew she was up to something. I said are you coloring. she said yes. I said okay well lunch is about done. I be darned if she didnt sit there and stare me in the eyes and took that dang crayon and was coloring without looking up under neath my island in the kitchen. The thing that gets me is she knew how particular I am of my home. she was about 7 or 8 then I think. she did it in spite when I had already told her to not mark off of the pages onto the countertop. Boy that burnt me up. I just didnt have it in me to tell her parents or that may have started world war 3 and I wouldnt get paid. but boy oh boy, how I wanted to spank that hard headed bottom.

it must be that age! my son turend 5 today and his new thing is "Ok, mom, I don't care!" LIke when I tell him something more than a couple times. LOL It's funny at first because it's such a "teenager" thing to do. But, I am getting upset with it now. :) Now, my daughter is 2 and her thing is "no, I don't want to!". LOL

Ya kids say the wildest things. My 11 year old tries to tell me everything.

Where to begin on what drives me batty, theres so many things! I guess if I have to narrow it down, my husband, everytime I or anyone else suggests something that remotely sounds like work, he gets this look on his face (stern), his lip starts to twitch, and he immediately before letting you finish your sentence is already spouting the excuse why he cant do it! Another thing is my two year old consistantly tells me no, if I say anything to her (unless you want a drink or you want to eat), she spouts off "NO", and everytime you ask her, her name, she says "Me", so I and the rest of the house started calling her "Me", and she gets mad and says no, but wont say her name to save her soul (well maybe she would for that!!LOL) and lets see my other daughter says "I know" for everything to, and she is 9, she dont know everything, but when you try to teach her something or tell her something new (that you know she doesn't have a clue about) she says "I know", and my son blames everyone else for things.....my list could be longer but I dont have enough time to keep listing everything that drives me batty!!! I'm easily annoyed I guess, and I'm sure they would all have somethings that I do that drives them batty. LOL.

I know a 16 year old that does that!!! She is in our bell choir at church and she really is a sweet girl. But when the director points out that she missed something, or suggests something to her, she always responds, "I know." It's just irritating! I want to go up to her and say, "No, you don't know or you wouldn't have played it wrong in the first place!" lol! But, I don't say anything, I just stand there and watch :)

he's only 3 give him a break!

kids that age tend to repeat things they hear a lot, why not monitor what you say when people are talking to you, Do you say I know when he tells you something for the fourth time? If not, chances are, its his parents.
