THIS is why I had kids!

[LaraMN]

Toddler slaves!

:evilgrin: :bounce:

Vacuuming my floor:


Making my lunch (apparently, it's ramen noodles with vegetable oil):



Vacuuming my laundry:



Washing my dishes (obligatory plumber butt included):



It's a charmed life, I tell you.

P.S. If anyone knows if it's harmful for a two-year-old to ingest a substantial amount of dish-soap bubbles, please let me know.


:rofl: :rofl:

1. Oooh! My (borrowed) toddler slave's favorite tasks are

"vacuum the toilet," "blow dry the toilet" and "dump bird food in the toilet."

I'm sensing a theme here.


Great pix, btw.

[LaraMN]

11. Yeah, I NEVER leave my bathroom doors open!

He would climb in the toilet and eat the shampoo, I've no doubt.

2. Oh that's great

Soap bubbles may be harmful to you when it's diaper-changing time.

Do you have poison control on speed dial yet? You'd be surprised what isn't actually harmful, despite the warning label.

:hi:

[LaraMN]

5. Oh, yes- my daughter made sure of that!

Once she ate an allergy pill. Another time, while I was busy nursing the little dude, she got ahold of one of those gel-filled dishwasher packs, and came out of the kitchen with the gel on her lips. I FLIPPED out and had to call poison control, but ultimately nothing happened to her.:wow: :scared:

10. Yikes

So far my older one drank an entire bottle of ipecac syrup, and the younger tried to eat a packet of drying stuff they put in new shoes and purses and the like.

I need hazard pay.

[LaraMN]

13. Lol!

My oldest never ate anything bad at all (well, except a thumb-tack:scared:) I should've known when I spotted my frist gray hair after my daughter was born, that it was an omen...

3. Vacuuming your laundry

Too funny

How old is he again?

[LaraMN]

6. He'll be three in early March, but his development in most areas is more

in the 1-2 year old range. He's a riot.

[Shine]

4. "toddler slaves"...I love it. That's funny.

:rofl:

great butt shot, too. Your kids are adorable.

Hey, just wait til they get older! Mine take out the trash, empty the kitty litter, wash the dishes....of course, we have to PAY them allowance to do it. :eyes:

[LaraMN]

8. Thanks! My seven and three year olds are good about cleaning their rooms,

at least. It's nice when they're able to "really" help out a bit.

7. Just a hint, based on picture 2

When making Ramen, add water, not urine...

:rofl:

9. That boy has had two glasses of milk, a glass of juice,

and a bowl of soup, today. He really needs a catheter for my convenience.

[Dangerously Amused]

12. Very funny!

:rofl:

[bleedingheart]

14. My 9 year old can actually wash dishes now...There is a reason to

have kids...

The two kids fight over who gets to sweep...it is fantastic...

hahahahaha

[LaraMN]

15. Nice! At what age can they do taxes?

That's usually my job and I'd be more than happy to hand it off!

[bleedingheart]

16. that one...I can't tell you...but I bet by at least age 13

hahahaha

[tigereye]

17. you are lucky

my son hates the vacuum cleaner....

[Arugula Latte]

18. That reminds me ...

My son just turned 9 and one of his presents was his very own dustbuster. He has a huge elaborate playmat with cars and buildings that he keeps "just so" and the only way to really clean it is a cordless vac. Now, I just have to get him interested in the rest of the house ...
