2 weeks
My wife is out of town on job training for a couple weeks. I've stocked up on food for the kids and am preparing myself for their antics.
My youngest is still acting like a fool, but I'm taking some consolation that her older sister had the exact same stage about 9 months ago and grew out of it.
I'm crossing my fingers.
Not sure how I'm going to keep from going crazy. I may keep busy with some spring cleaning outside of the regular chores.
I want to take the kids to the movies, bowling and the park but I just can't reward atrocious behavior, so the other two miss out as well.
So since I'll be stuck in the house for a while, shoot me a "dear hammer" letter to bohab@hotmail.com and I'll get the advice column rolling again.

Oh yeah, here is the weirdest commercial ever....
I've been wanting to make a new video, but finding a song to put the pictures to has been tough lately so if you have any funny mp3's hanging around send em my way.
I've noticed some new readers and I'm adding you guys to my bookmarks. Just let me know if you'd like me to put you on my links.

Hammer , sounds like you are going to have loads of fun....he he he , I remember the terrible two's with all my neices and nephews , they usually grow out of it in time to become vile teengers :-)
Some things you grow out of and some things you don't. I've grown out of all my kiddie clothes, but I still jump in the occasional puddle.
Hang in there and remember that duct tape CAN be very useful in these situations...lmao.
Absolutely funny. Read everything on this page and decided to put you on my favorites to come back and check on you. Interesting inlaws or outlaws? Evidently they can't read, hilarious
Have fun with the kids, although I have to admit I'm a little concerned; after all, you didn't mention whether or not you had stocked up on pediatric NyQuil as well.
I have submitted my "Dear Hammer" e-mail and eagerly await your sage advice.
You're a good dad Hammer, I can tell. All that and you didn't mention duct tape or benedryl once.
Good luck. Remember, don't let them see ya sweat. Little demons feed off of fear!
My oldest pushed every boundary through every phase. Thank heavens the twins were comparatively easy. It's hard work for you but strengthens your own character - stretches you, makes you think and pay attention, become more patient, and learn to love unconditionally. God will not give you more than you can bear.
You can always lock yourself in your room. ;-)
I was about to say, "good luck with the kids." But after that video I take it back. I wish your kids all the best of luck dealing with you!
Yes, they should fear your creativity! ROTFLMAO!

Have fun hammer
It might cost too much, but you could hire a baby sitter for your little malcontent and you and the others go to a movie or bowling.
First of all.. OH baby, a biker dude! Is it me or is it hot in here?? heheh
If you really need a kiddo break, I have some summer cleaning that needs to be done!
btw... I feel GREAT! HA funny ad...
Not even sure what to say about the commercial...the woman appeared to feel so great she was having seizures. The stuck home time might allow for more blogging when you're not chasing the kids. My sister came over and did a major house douching last week. Getting tidied up is always uplifting.
Well have fun and do what you have to do with them. I always use the tactic with I will take one out because she was behaving and it usually makes the other one behave too. Or else I threaten to take something she likes away because I want to have some fun. Kora doesnt like the tilt a whirl and I threatened her before we went on our vacation at the beginning of July that if she didnt go at least once with us she wasnt going swimming in the pool at the motel and she went and had fun on the ride with us. I know its mean but hey you do what you have to do. Have fun with the kids though. I know all about rewarding bad behavior.
That will be rough...I rely so much on my partner in child raising...we all need a break! Try not to pull your hair out! Anymore good recipes??? Do the kids like to help you cook?
Daddy day care...you have to post a video of your Mr. Mom moments!
I can bring you another one if you would like. :)
Yes I could certainly do with a few hints on the 'how to reward one/two when another one/two shouldn't have the negative behaviour reinforced.'
Cheers
It's nice you can take over and maintain a calm of sorts. I applaud you for taking charge and being consistent with the kids! Sometimes I find I take away privileges and then realize "wait, I just made things harder on myself!" (because taking the kids to the movies and such is fun and easier for me than staying home!)
Want to know where someone is? If you have their phone number a satellite system can tell you where they are. Even cell phones. This is really interesting, is big brother tracking you? Where is your boyfriend? Find out here.

G'day Hammer,
I reckon you are going to have just as much fun as your kids.
And as for the reference to the kids ``growing out'' of that stage - I still haven't grown out of it, which is probably a good thing!
Cheers

Just give the kids some Nutrigrain bars and they'll feel GREAT!
We are here to listen, Hammer, so vent away!
That commercial is hilarious!!!, but I'd be very hesitant to try a Nutrigrain bar...the woman is positively frightening!!!
Just look on your time with the children as bonding...all they'll remember in the future is that you were there for them. Of course, you won't have any hair left by then but it's all for the children...right?
Veritas et Fidelis Semper
LOL...He's soo cute too!!!
Weird commercial tho...
Peace
(I added you to my fav. reads)
That IS, in fact, the weirdest commercial ever.
Ambo-Driver turned me on to Hammertime. I like it! I'm adding, and not just because I'm a reciprocating whore (not JUST because...).
I'll see what I can dig up for mp3's. I've got a few here and there.
