What do kids do to drive you insane?

Is there anything your kids do that drives you absolutely insane? And what the heck do you do about it?

Thanks, -A

My partner and I have nine kids aged from three to eighteen and I’d really appreciate any advice about how to handle kids who get addicted to a LUSENET forum.

The one they’re all crazy about is called Ask A Drunk. Hell, they’re posting to it all day and night. Most of them have stopped eating and sleeping, and as for going to school – forget it! The three-year-old doesn’t even bother to shave anymore!

What makes it worse is, I just can’t see the point of Ask A Drunk. To me it’s just a bunch of guys with too much time on their hands posting stupid, unintelligible jokes to each other in words I can’t understand, just like I couldn’t understand the instructions on the contraceptive packet.

Sorry to go on, but it’s driving me 100% mental! I mean, I say we have nine kids, but before this all started we had eleven. That’s how mental I am, you know?
