for xmas bought my husband our first big screen tv and i paid it off in under the 90 days, never before could we have done that i was so proud of us, and now my son whose 2 took a spray bottle that i use for cleaning and sprayed the tv to help me clean and now the bottom 7-8inches and all destored (spelling) its messed up. no more warranty, i didnt realize it wasnt a newer tv so the screen if it needs replacing is not obtainable, a service man is 90 bucks just to come out parts and labor not included i cant do that right now, they advised my husband to take it apart clean the screen and see what happens.
its getting worse, and he doesnt get home till late and i know he;s tired i want to beat the living daylights out of my boy right now i just sent him to his room and he cried for a few minutes then started playing again.
i think im going to cry

you shouldn't leave cleaning chemicals in reach of a 2 yr old yes they get into everything i see why someone would get upset about it but such a young child doesnt know any better and will most likely not remember being told not to do something a big tv is nice to have but i would think the kids well being would be more important it could have been worse like the toddler drinking a cleaniing solution or spilling it all over them or what have you

[tammy8833]

i do seriously appreciate the concern but it was not cleaning solution that was reachable i have a bottle with water for the dogs and a bottle with water and liquid softner to make the home smell good, neither one of those would harm him in anyway, my true chemicals are put away, most of my cleaning supplies are like vinegar, and of course the only main chemical here is bleach and that it kept away and i do care for his saftey but i also care about a exspensive items in my home..this was not a post to make people feel they need to stand up for the well being of my child, the orginal post was a bit on the joking side but also upsetting because of what happened the thread title was a joke and not meant to be taken seriously

I knew that your title was in jest, it wasn't the title that bothered me. What got to me was the fact that your son was trying to help and then was yelled at and sent to his room over something that was not his fault. I didn't want you to feel that I was attacking you because I do realize that you were asking for help with your tv, but it's hard to ignore something that it written like, "I want to beat the living daylights out of my boy right now...". I wanted to so badly relpy only to your concern about the tv and how badly you felt about it, but I was saddened by the thought of how your little man was feeling...I guess because I, too, have a baby the same age so I it hit close to home for me and my heart.

there you go. I know it's hard raising a two year old but they are just so hilarious at that age....and still very much babies....and I'm glad you put the stuff up.

My youngest was one of those kids who got into EVERYTHING....I can remember putting a lock on my fridge door cause he'd sneak out there in the middle of the night and eat stuff & he was QUIET lol - one night he got into the jelly & dropped it - the jar broke and I totally freaked when I ran out there - he had his fingers in the mess and was getting ready to lick them LOL - with BROKEN glass believe me - a Rope went around my fridge that night and what a pain in the butt it was undoing the knots every morning ...but he never did raid the fridge again...at least not till he was much older

[tammy8833]

aww..i wouldnt hurt him, i was mad but i would never beat the lving day lights out of him..the thought might have crossed my mind for a moment..lol

i love my baby love love love him, i just dont handle ...dissappointment?..well..i dont know if thats the word or not

everyone will tell ya that i havnt got any patience though i work on it we have good days and bad days..he was probably bored and stuff and my hormones are kicken in

my hubby is the softy of the family Jay (hubby) is like you i think Tammy
Our son can do no wrong in his eyes i told him about the tv and he;s like big deal so what, when jayson does something wrong hes laughs and finds the cuteness in it, i have been working on getting jayson out of our bed (first kid, i know big mistake, wont happen again i promise..LOL) and he has been out of the bed for weeks now but my husband cant stand to hear him cry so they will sneak back to our bed together sometimes..drives me crazy, jayson (son) draws on the wall..im freaking and my husband is like "look he is so artistic"..lol

i wish that i was a perfect mommy but im just not as good at it as i would like to be, i ose my patience, we skip breakfast, we go puppy shopping, we CLEAN HOUSE together..lol i did sign him up with the playroom and try to take him 2-3 times a week and we havent gone yet this week, we are going tomorrow. i set up his potty time chart and a nauty time chart and we say our abcs and spell words for each letter and count but sometimes hedoesnt get naps, and sometimes i fuss at him

Sounds like you are doing just fine....none of us are "perfect", that's for sure! I gained a lot of paitence after the death of our first baby. The sad reality, sometimes our children go before us...should not happen and it never will feel right and the pain is ALWAYS there, but things happen in life that are out of our hands. I remind myself, when I start to lose my paitence, just how fleating these moments are and what if I never get to say goodbye and the last words are in anger?! I didn't get to say goodbye to my Abby and now I live my life like this....like I might not get to say goodbye and I have learned to bite my tongue, to hold off on the hurtful words, because of the "what ifs". I know, I am rambling...I just wanted you to know that no mommy is perfect, we just do our best. Squeeze that beautiful baby boy of yours and just let him know that it's just a tv and begin again! Clean slate...tomorrow's a new day!

have a BIG Rope ready lol - it's amazing how quiet they can be when they want to - I'm a super light sleeper and my son didn't wake me till that night the jar broke .....I did find a PIZZA Box in his bed once LOL - little turd ! (empty of course - he must have pigged out) and we're talking maybe 3-4 years old at that time

[tammy8833]

[tammy8833]

Landon also does this...ugh! We had to put a lock on it because he would just go and open the door and stand half way in it and look around.

[tammy8833]

jayson does that all day!!

he says "moma i want dinner" its always dinner no matter what time it is

[peanut]

Right now it may be hard on you with a 2 year old, but they grow up so fast just enjoy him as much as possible before you know it he will be leaving home.... I know right now its hard to believe when people say that but trust me they do, its like you blink your eyes and they are grown up...

[tammy8833]

oh i know ive been thinking about how little he was when he was born and little things he did when he was a tiny baby
he was 4.9lbs (a yorkie!!) my husband's head was bigger than him..lol

Kids... they do push that last button. my son flushed my brand new cell phone down the toilet. After I had to call the plumber to unclog my toilet... so all said and done.. I had to pay over 300.00. He sobbed uncontrollably saying he was so sorry.. it nearly broke my heart.. I forgave of course being the loving, accident understanding mom that I am... UNTIL... the next week when he put my neighbors cell phone in a jug of milk!!!! Hilarious now right... stilll love them though but they get you right to the verge of bodily harm... LOL good luck with your tv
