Comments on: it snot you http://fridayplaydate.com/it-snot-you/ entirely true, but exaggerated for comic effect Fri, 08 Aug 2008 01:29:43 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2.1 By: karyn http://fridayplaydate.com/it-snot-you/#comment-19729 karyn Wed, 23 Apr 2008 00:39:35 +0000 http://fridayplaydate.com/it-snot-you/#comment-19729 Oh, how I feel your pain. My son with Asperger's is struggling with the Blowing-Your-Nose thing and I have to hold the tissue for him to blow into still. But I didn't position the tissue just right and wound up with a hand full of viscous, jello-ey shnook. When I tried to be calm and reach for a new tissue to clean up, he wiped his nose on my new Ralph Lauren shirt. I so totally want to run away. Good luck avoiding The Strep - Oh, how I feel your pain.

When Ellie had her tonsils out, we had THE SAME THING every 4 hours with her pain medicine. I tried everything..bribing, begging, holding down, pretending to give it to her brother, offering it rectally... finally, she realized that her throat hurt less and she'd take the "yucky" medicine. Then, of course, she'd ask for a popsicle. One month later and we're still asking for popsicles. What is with these kids and their meds?

Unfortunately that's when I need to be the mom the most, because that's when the knocking on the door starts along with, "when will you be done/come out/help me?" It never fails. I also enjoy reading your blog, it's good to see we all suffer through some of the same things. I say, “I’m not the Mom right now” and disappear into the bathroom and shut the door.

Though mine are all teens now (and one in his 20s) I remember so often telling everyone (hubby included) that I was resigning and would no longer answer to "Mom." But they wouldn't accept my resignation. And they kept calling me mom. They still do. This cracked me up.
