Much to my dismay, I am not currently on an airplane headed toward Denver to bury my friend. I’d like to be, I really would, but sometimes things just come up. Things like the fact that my son was laying in bed the other night and while he was laying in bed, the whole bottom end of it came apart from the whole top end of it. Whee!
So now we have to buy a new bed for one kid and give the other kid one more reason to feel totally oppressed and not quite as loved as the others because as we all know, if I just loved him as much as I love the other ones, he’d have a new bed coming, too, and maybe a pony as well.
The horror. I don’t know how he goes on. Someone call the authorities.

You know you will hear all about this when he is 30, right? I say buy a princess bed.

Candy
Tuesday, 30 September, 2008 at 7:43My kids are 18 and 15 and my 18 year old still thinks I love her brother more. It frankly doesn’t matter WHAT I do for that child, I will always “love her less”. And unfortunately, sometimes, when she talks like that, she’s almost right.

Good luck on the bed hunt!

Tuesday, 30 September, 2008 at 9:05I’m so sorry about your friend. Is this Tim or has someone else died? I mean, I assume someone has passed. Although you do strike me as the kind of girl who might slap a “surprise burial” on a friend who’d been pissing them off recently.

As soon as I figure out whom to call.

Tuesday, 30 September, 2008 at 10:48Oh, so it does really happen in every family. I was hoping to get a break, but I know I’m in for it and it’s already started around here. Kids and logic never go hand in hand, huh? Good luck with the bed hunt . . .

Tuesday, 30 September, 2008 at 10:48Whenever one kid questions something another gets to do/have, I just very honestly say, “Because I love her/him more than you.” Shuts them up every time. When they call the authorities on you, they could stop by my house as well. Poor picked on little buggers.

Tuesday, 30 September, 2008 at 12:23A noogie is easily as valuable as a new bed. You just have to sell it properly.
At least you didn’t hand him down the old bed.

Tuesday, 30 September, 2008 at 18:28I actually have taken to telling each of my kids:
“You’re my favorite 3/6/12 year old.” (Obviously depending on which one)
My 12 year old has seen through my evil plan, but I think secretly he still likes it.

Tuesday, 30 September, 2008 at 19:12Ok, on that note. As I said above, I have three kids, Chaos, Panic and Disorder (Youngest to Oldest)
Disorder is 6 years older than Panic, so he was old enough to realize that the amount of attention paid to him got cut in half the minute the baby came along.
I think he still resents that to this day.
