Rude Awakening...

Every morning...

It always starts with desperate pleas.
"Feed me".
"I am sooooo hungry".
"My tummy is hurting".
"I am starving".
Whine, whine, cry, cry, scream, scream. So I get the breakfast made and she takes one bite. Done. "Mommy I want waffles instead" or my personal fav, "Mommy I am too full" because one bite of anything might do that to you.

Seriously annoying.

I hate mornings that start with whinning. I HEAR you. Loud and clear. ha ha.

Or...even when he eats pretty well...20 minutes later he wants lunch? I'm all whaa...? Can you really be hungry again? THAT's the diff between boys and girls!

Laurie said...

Sounds like my kids. This happens all the time!!!

Sarah said...

ah yes... this is a common occurrence at our house. my new favorite phrase is "the kitchen is closed!"

Hillary said...

I can relate. Only my kids usually start ordering lunch iteams like peanut butter sandwiches.

Kelly said...

I have that here too. But with only one so far. Ashley is sure to follow behind. Maybe she already is...she threw her pears on the floor at my mom's house today because they were a little harder than normal. At least that is the best I can figure. She isn't exactly old enough to tell me just yet.

I'm finally becoming immune to whining. Luke would love to have me be a short order cook. His personal short order cook. ugh. I make pancakes and he wants oatmeal. Or I make french toast and he wants pancakes.Makes me crazy!

Stephanie said...

Mornings that begin with whining do not mix, and drive me seriously insane! The only things that make my darling happy right now are pbj or pancakes. Unless of course you're offering her a cookie or cake...that will be accepted anytime.

This is soooo me, but after school. My 5-year-old has lunch around 11:30 or so, but doesn't get home until 4:30. It is a long time for a kid to have to wait for food. So, he typically wants the equivalent to dinner right when we walk in the door. I make him the hugest meal to accompany his huge hunger pleas and just like in your example, he eats a bite or two and is out the door to play. I think I have finally caught on, but it annoys me to no end!

FUNNY STUFF only cuz I can relate

Cecily R said...

Aint that the TRUTH! I love that my kids think I am their personal short order cook. Little stink pots.

I like the "kitchen is closed" idea.

"Give 'em one shot at a meal and if they choose to miss out on that, so be it" (Sue Anderson, leading toughlove feeding proponent).

LOL

My Moose has been doing this too but he's only 1...so he just spits it out! Ugh!

Jocasta said...

Am so with you but our problem is dinner!
