If You Loved Me...
Tuesday, September 30, 2008 at 12:37AM | Mr Lady
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.
A hammock is the only solution.

Meh, toss 'em a hammock and go buy a new pair of shoes instead. ;)
What's wrong with a mat and floor?
My 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.

I'm so sorry you can't go....
Good luck on the bed hunt!
HAHAH! It's BUNKBED TIME! Everyone is loved. And they have a great new elevated surface to launch their sister from. See how perfect it is.
I'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.

He is adorable. And sadly unloved. It really is a shame. I'm calling someone about this.
As soon as I figure out whom to call.

PS Your jedi mind tricks are a little rusty -- that post is from two days ago. Today's post is MUCH better. It's about warts. For real.

You ARE a rotten mom! I cannot imagine not buying EVERY FREAKIN THING equally. ;)

Oh, 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 . . .

Whenever 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.

As long as you're buying beds, can you get me a race car queen-sized one? Thanks.

A 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.

Two words: sleeping bag. Makes every night a camp out. Especially when he starts lighting campfires.

I 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.

Ok, 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.

It's just not fair. No fair. No fair at all. He is completely deprived. No fair.

I wish my kids would call the authorities. I'd sleep SO hard in jail and no one would bug me for gas money. Kind of like a spa trip!

Wow that go butchered I'll try again.

He doesn't look TOO terribly oppressed. I think he's all good.

I'm 36 and KNOW my sister is my mom's favorite- I'm Ok with it, really(or not)! I slept in a closet and she got a bed. Just a fair warning.

The problem with mail-order ponies is the whole "self assembly required" thing. Messy.

my oldest daughter got jealous when my youngest got her uniforms. I just calmly explained it was because I like her better!
