RSS Feed (xml)Me: Babe, what's wrong?
Her: He's ruining MY WHOLE LIFE!
Me: Who?
Her: Daddy!
Me: Why?
Her: He just IS! My WHOLE LIFE!
Me: Dude. Why?
Her: (Flailed across the couch, arms tossed over face for dramatic effect). Because he won't let me have a fruit roll up!
Me to J: M says you are ruining her whole life!
Her: HE IS!
J: (laughing) She hasn't seen anything yet.
Me: (reaching for my wine) Yeah babe. You haven't seen anything yet.
And with that she catapults herself down the hall to her bed, where more hysterics ensue while J and I giggle at each other and occasionally remark that we are ruining each others lives.
This high drama? This is normal for a four year old, right?
Right?

it sure is, lovely momma.
it sure is.
eat it up.
drink it down.
because it's only here for but a brief time.
Oh my yes, the drama is the Best Part of parenting ! It just gets better and better !
Wait 'til she sees the scorpions...
That was meant to be funny so please see it as such.
oh, yes. entirely normal.
Mad, i actually thought the same thing.
I get the kind of warm flutters usually associated with the end of a glass of wine as I think of you with such a partner in this parenting gig. It is a trying road and damn if a friendly face doesn't make it all feel a little less futile. Sweet, mama, sweet mama indeed.
You ain't seen nothin' yet. :(
Isn't it just so hard not to laugh when their flailing and fighting such small matters?
normal schnormal.
she is going to make a fiiiinnnne teenager.
Oh, that makes me tired. The drama. The flailing. How many years does this go on? What am I in for?
You guys, though, crack me up. Please come over and and hang out with us while our little ones dramatize.
She's really advanced for her age.
LOL
Oh yeah, she's good. You're in trouble. By the time she's a teenager, she'll have the dramatics perfected and you won't know what hit you.
the wit in your household is brilliant...
for the second time tonight, I am glad I have boys!! LOL.
Oh yeah. So four.
I had to call in the mounties tonight because of a tantrum. A tiny piece of me wished I'd had a tape recorder. But I really needed to get out of there and get a glass of wine.
My four year old likes to say, "I have a bad feeling about this day," in a foreboding tone. Then he likes to cuss like a tank engine when his predictions are true- cinders & ashes!
Oh man. We were so there at four. Normal for us, I can say that much. I was "ruining her life" when I took out winter clothes last year to replace them with spring/summer clothes. RUINING HER LIFE.
That one? She's goooood! Look out world.
Right, babe.
Wait until five.
Yep, normal.
We had tantrums in our house last night. Multiple tantrums. OVER NOTHING. It was AWESOME.
Hahaha! Priceless.
Oh mah god...i dont want to see that act between the ages of 11-14 -whoa.
Oh, yeah.
I'm a "Bad Dad" because I won't let them have another cookie before supper. "I don't like you, I only like Mama."
And, as far as I can tell, it's also 'normal' for a 3 year old.
Sigh.
Oh, the drama.
Very normal, but wait, it gets better. Wait until she's fifteen.
Normal for some 4 year olds, sure.
Plus, many a life has, in fact, been ruined by the lack of fruit roll ups. Don't judge, jen. You don't know.
Oh yes. Our house is all full of drama these days. Four has been delightful. Five is coming up very soon - I wonder what it will bring?
For a four year old girl, sadly yes. My boys haven't been as...intense. My girl? It's allll about the drama. I am so scared for fourTEEN, I can't even tell you...
While I haven't ruined her life (yet), I've definitely scored as "yucky" and "I don't like you anymore" for such infractions. Life is Drama, no?
Sorry dude, I didn't hear anything after the sentence involving you sitting on the couch and J making dinner. That's what I'm talking about.
*snicker*
hysterical!
Aw, the drama of children, I actually love it.
M is so cute!!!
Savor those dramas, I say. ;D
I don't understand. She was merely expressing a truth. The truth of the ruining of her life through the willful withholding of the holy fruit roll.
That kind of drama is AWESOME. It's hard to keep a straight face. (Or is this just me?)
Absolutely!
Nothing compared to the rager of an hour-long fit yesterday morning, dude. Normal. Think of it as a preview of age 13 — and fear. :)
oh the days of that being the worst thing in your day. no fruit rollup.
F-ck! This post just ruined my life! Also, ruining my life: chocolate, liqour, political debates.
In her defence, Fruit Rollups are da bomb. Or so I'm told.
4 years old going on 14...my 3 year old nephew who does similar drama has taken to responding that he's 17 when asked his age.
