A couple of years ago I watched a commercial that become engraved in my mind. It was a television ad for Lysol. In it, this perfectly groomed, coiffed, slender woman in slacks and a dress shirt watches as her darling little baby flings a handful of spaghetti at the fridge. She smiles, shrugs, reaches for her trustworthy Lysol and simply wipes away the mess.
Seriously - do people actually react like that?

Heck, no! You gotta teach children respect and control and that is the exact opposite. It's just a commercial depicting that you shouldn't worry about germs if you have Lysol around. But, it wouldn't happen in my home without a consequence.

How about the Lysol commercial about the kids playing together exchanging toys and the woman brings out the can of Lysol and starts spraying the toys to disinfect? That commercial bugged me because this company (Lysol) thinks it is okay to put chemicals all over toys that children could possibly put in their mouths. Toys should be disinfected with soap and water. What are they thinking?

I am not perfectly groomed, coiffed, or that slender - but that's how I am with my baby. I have about 10 thousand rolls of papertowels in my pantry just wipe up her messes. I don't mind a bit - and she does make me smile when she is being mischevious and chucks food at me :) She doesn't know it's "bad" - she is just being a baby.

It is a commercial after all, but if we are talking real life I can tell you that freaking out over messes is not worth the effort. Messes are a fact of life with children and you may as well have fun if you have to clean one up.
I actually was watering the garden outside a kitchen window and my son squirted me with his super soaker through the window. He was totally shocked when i soaked him with the hose right into the window. It is not something I recommend, but we could not stop laughing the whole time we cleaned it up.. YES we do act like that!

HA! how about the one where the little kid gest a bottle of orange soda out of the fridge shakes it and sprays mom as shes doing the dishes, then she turns around with the sink sprayer and sprays him and they both spray water and orange soda all over a perfect kitchen! Afterwards they wipe it up with their Viva paper towels with huge smiles on their faces.

I don't know about the smiling part, but saying no, taking away the spaghetti and cleaning it up is about all you can do. I don't think this situation calls for physical beatings or anything. The child needs taught that this is unacceptable behavior. Period.

Some people just have a natural tendency to be calmer than others.
