Help three boys in my house, feel like I'm raising animals not children!?

Question

My boys are making me nuts! Why??? Someone tell me why they insist on hiding dirty socks in my plants instead of throwing them down the laundry shoot, it takes more time for them to find a hiding place than to just put them where they belong! And Why do they pee all around the bowl and never in it? Why do they use every drop of shampoo taking ONE shower? Why do they run through the house in nothing but their jock-strap with their asses hangin out for the world to see? Why do they think it's fun to shoot spit wads at eachother and on my ceiling? WHy do they walk up to eachother saying "smell my finger"? Is there a drug for this and when does it stop?

Answer 1

did you not teach them better? do you give them consequences for their behavior? you get treated like you allow people to treat you. they seem to have no respect for you or even for themselves by not taking care of their things. if they were my children they would not have "things" until they showed some respect. and yes, i have raised 1boy and raising 1 more and they don't treat me that way. if i saw pee on the floor that boy would be on his hands and knees cleaning the pee off my floor. i bet he wouldnt do that much longer. so you need to wake up and know that you are the reason you are raising farm animals. be a loving mother and teach them better. they will be better off in the future for it.

Answer 2

LMAO;

That sounds, verbatim, to what my three boys do. They are NUTS. All you said plus:

They have their own bathroom and they NEVER flush the commode. They bounce off the walls, literally. They climb the walls. They'll get in the doorway or something and put one foot on one wall and the other on the other wall and literally walk up the freaking wall. They get out of the bathtub, after using an entire bottle of shampoo as you say, dripping wet. They will put on brand new clothes, not even get them dirt and then go change in ten minutes (wife goes NUTS trying to keep clothes washed.) I mean the list goes on and on and on.

Oh, what about all the poop talk? We can't eat dinner without one, two or all three starting the "He Farted" thread. That will last the entire way through dinner and there is NO STOPPING IT because, among other reasons, they get us all to laughing.

Boys are animals. There is no other conclusion to be drawn.

PS. My wife just added that maybe the reason they don't bother flushing the commode is because they don't hit it! :)

Answer 3

Well for one it will never stop unless you put your foot down. Start making them clean the the bathroon after they pee all over and the spit wads they need to clean EVERY thing they did UP by them selves NOT YOU. Make them wear there plant soiled socks when they do this and make them do laundry every time they put the socks in the plant. boundaries they have to have them. And boys will be boys at times also I have 2 boys and 2 girls and they fight all the time.

Answer 4

Me and my brother used to shoot bottle rockets out of the 2nd floor window....that is until one shot inside the house and started the carpet on fire. I stabbed my brother in the back with scissors when I was 12. (I'm not joking, only went in about 1/2") He wouldn't stop giving me noogies. My brother and my cousin once tried to heave me from over the swimming pool deck into the pool, I landed on the deck and broke my arm. Your kids are mild, be thankful. We would have thrown M80's down your laundry shoot. ;) Wow, after reading this, I think I know why I am so odd. lol

Answer 5

All you need is to have certain rules within your house that your children are aware of that they need to abide by, and you be consistent with enforcing them. It will take a little bit more time on your part at first, figuring out which one is peeing around the bowl, which one is using all the shampoo, but no time, your life will be much easier and your darling boys will be following the rules. By enforcing rules, I don't mean physical punishment; be creative. For example, the one who's peeing around the bowl, make him clean it up, he will think twice about doing it again and will be more careful. Trust me, I have 3 boys (4 including my husband!), and to some degree, boys will be boys! They like to romp around and play. But if you work on establishing and enforcing rules around your house, you will be much less stressed, and it sounds like you deserve it. Good luck!

Answer 6

Because you have allowed them to run wild from the get go or they wouldn't be that obnoxious. I raised three all close in age, far from a perfect mother believe me, but I wonder if you just sit there with your hand on your head and do nothing about it. Nip it in the butt now or you will have major issues when they hit teenagerland!!!!!!

Answer 7

Go on strike and stick to your guns. They don't respect you or your rules, why should you respect their hunger, or worry they stink and look like hell in dirty clothes amongst their peers, Tell em if they don't clean it up, shape it up and don't have respect for you, they can starve your on strike. Be sure you only cook for your self. Keep no easy foods in the house. Give no money. Tell em it ain't open for debate. This is what you expect, this is what they don't get if not done. The choice is theirs. PS. tell em you don't care who did what or didn't do what all rules across the board will be honored if they want to eat.

Answer 8

Yikes! You really do have an animal farm here. Sounds like serious discipline issues. Or they are just being rambunctious little boys. Either way, guidance is needed for acceptable vs. non -acceptable behavior. Good luck.

Answer 9

There is a drug for it, which, if used consistently, cures all the symptoms you list. Unfortunately, the drug is unpalatable, and your sons will not want to take it. However, bear in mind that it is for their own good, and if you want them to grow up to be responsible adult citizens of the community, you will not waver from the regimen. The name of this drug? Discipline.

Answer 10

So whats the problem?

I have 4 girls and they make your boys look like a dream.
