I'm laughing with you...
Tue Mar 11 2003

OK, I was really laughing at him. #2. In the morning he is impossible to get into the shower. He doesn't want to take it, and getting him to do so is quite a feat. Of course once in the shower, he does not want to get out. He only gets out when the hot water runs out.

My solution to this?

Everyone else takes their shower first so they have hot water, then when he has been in there long enough to get clean, I start doing laundry and/or dishes. Using hot water of course. This causes an immediate influx of cold water into the shower, resulting in a shocked scream and cessation of #2's shower.

Definitely one of the more guaranteed and entertaining ways to get him out of the shower.

    I'm going to have to start doing that this fall. Hubby-to-be takes the longest showers I've ever known anyone to take. While we were all at his mom's last summer he was in there for an hour and a half. One of his brothers finally went in there and "made him end it". I think he decked him.

    Thanks for the offer of the kids being email pals...I will check with mine. I suspect he will be too lazy to do it, he is not too interested in the computer...now maybe if it involved a girl...

    my dad used to do that when we lived down on the farm, cept it was never a fight to get us in there
    after 5 minutes or so he was banging on the walls and telling us to get out (we were on tank water ya see, and there were 7 of us to clean)

    Sue's brother had those kind of braces. It is cool. They create a mold of your teeth now, and a mold of what your teeth will be streight using a computer. They make molds for all the stages in bettween. So every few weeks you switch to a new brace which forces your teeth into the new alignment. The trick is getting the kid to leave the brace on while the teeth are feeling sore from being shouved into place literally.
