So little man is a late bloomer in regard to the whole potty thing...I was somewhere in between the mentality that I didn't want to force the issue too hard, lest he not EVER want to use the potty, and sitting there counting the days until I could finally free myself of diapers and pull-ups.
Now, we've crested the summit, he's using the potty regularly, and enthusiastically. For the most part, considering his diminutive size, he aims like a champ, and he's been great so far with his underwear-only outings. No, I'm not saying I put him in a pair of underwear and some shoes and run out of the house...you know what I mean, right?? Right. Anyway...so here we are, slowly but surely mastering this potty thing...except for one...minor...detail; pooping. This kid will.not.poop. I don't understand what his issue is at this point. I know, I know, the pooping thing is the most difficult part with potty training, and from what I hear, boys are always more difficult than girls...but c'mon already!
I can't even tell you exactly HOW sick I am of rinsing out shitty underwear, shitty pants, shitty pajamas, etc. I'm just...tired of it. I've tried reasoning with this kid, I've tried taking away things he loves (some days I wish someone would take ME away), yelling at him, swatting his butt, guilting him, etc etc...nothing seems to work. His "schtick" seems to be holding in the poop until it all becomes impacted and massively painful for him to pass. Drives me nuts...but...I've tried taking his little self and sitting his butt on the potty when I see him holding it in, and told him he needs to stay there until he poops, but...nothing. ...and then all of a sudden, five minutes after I finally let him off the potty (after no less than twenty to thirty minutes of just sitting and staring at each other), there's a HUGE poop in his underwear. *headdesk*
Fellow parents with potty trained children; I applaud you for still having your hair, and some of your sanity. ...now...TELL ME YOUR SECRETS!

So here's this blog thing...
I (completely forgot that I) tried this forever ago...and failed miserably. Then tried again...and failed miserably. Now, I think I might just have found something that irritates me enough to motivate me to blog and keep up with it;
I seriously hate Caillou. I know I'm not the only one, there are articles upon articles, plus FB posts, complaints from other moms...I don't know even ONE parent who likes this show. It's awful. Have you ever seen it? If you're a parent, and you've mistakenly let your child watch it, you've undoubtedly seen horrid results; your child is suddenly whiny, obnoxious, and generally acting like a tiny little asshole. Caillou is a whiny, greedy, self-centered little shit, and talks to his parents in such a way that would've gotten my cheeks reddened (both sets!), and my toys taken away for at least a week.
...also, why doesn't he have any hair?! Seriously, where is it?? ALL the other characters have hair...why is this 4 year old child bald? Don't even tell me it's a fashion statement, his frumpy mommy and dipshit daddy wouldn't know fashion if it fell out of the sky and hit them on the head. The only things I can think of; he has alopecia or leukemia. The leukemia thing explains SOOOOO much...maybe that's why his mommy and daddy (and everyone else) wear the same clothes every day, and why he's allowed to get away with his horrid behavior.
Max and Ruby? Don't get me started. Max clearly has some kind of mental defect or disability, and Ruby's just a bossy bitch. Where are their parents?! I'm one of the many parents who subscribes to the thought that Max probably killed them and buried them in the basement...or maybe he saw Ruby kill them, and that's why he's such a fucktard. Either way...the lack of adult supervision in the show is disturbing, given the fact that Max and Ruby are often wandering around town all by themselves. What the hell?! I wouldn't let a couple of kids under 10 go roaming around without a parent, and if I did, I'd be thrown in jail for child endangerment!
Dora and Diego irritate the crap out of me too. They're just...so...ridiculous. We'd probably be here for hours if I went into all the issues I have with these two shows, and frankly, you can probably just Google and find hilarious memes that would get my thoughts across far better than my little blog.
If this is your first time coming across me, I promise I'm not ALL piss and vinegar, there are lots of things (even kids shows) that I like...but really, isn't it more amusing to read rants about the same things that piss you off? That's what I thought, too. Throughout the potential life of this blog, I'm sure I'll end up sharing hilarious, heartwarming, tear-jerker type things/stories too, but for now, let's just stick with what I do best; getting annoyed at some of the stupidity or frustrations that we parents are faced with, and then ranting about it in a brash, yet hopefully relatable and entertaining manner.
