Grandson says, "I will pee my pants if I have to pick up my toys!

Well, I've heard a good many of those reasons, but not pee my pants! The one that is quite regular is 'you played with them too' to which I pick up the one or two things I actually did play with, toss them in the basket and tell him I've done my bit! One other thing that works is I tell him that if the toys aren't off the carpet, I'll vaccuum them up, and that will be last he'll see of them.

Hey u!!! Ok.. so I don't have kids but my friend's son will say "it hurts my feelings" whenever he wants to get out of doing something. That kid is a riot!

Thats so funny! As i was reading the excuses i was hearing my daughters voice lol. she is going to be 5 next week and she says the same stuff. i was reading yours and thinking, i bet his grandson is 4. close wasn't i? lol

feona i guarantee you only have to do this once. show just how funny you can be, grab a big garbage bag and sing songs all the while fill up the toys he finds every excuse under the sun as to why not to pick them up. promptly take grandson & bag of toys to the big rubbish bin and put them in (he may have to help you) when he asks for them back say every excuse you have heard as to why you won't do it.

kids are just amazing now a days, the way they reason out is just something else. when my grandaughter was around it was our daily routine that after she plays with her toys she picks them up and put them in the basket. for 2 days she was doing it but on the third day she went up to me and said "grandma i think it's not fair that i have to do all the picking up, it's child labor, and it's bad" when i heard this my eyes almost popped out, where did she get those words, she was only 3 going on 4. and when she told me those words her hands were on her chest as if she was giving me a lecture and to make me realize that what i asked her to do is not good. kids!!!!!!!!!!amazing........

well one thing my little bumble bee said was the other day i asked him to pick up all the toys so that mommy can vaccum and he said mommy i cant do it,so i said why,and he told me his arm hurts and too heavy,mommy do.i looked at him and i just had to turn my head and laugh because of the way he said it,so he finally got all the toys picked up and i started to vaccum and there was one toy left on the floor so i asked him can you please pick that up for mommy so i dont vaccum it up,and he said no mommy the vaccum will pick it up and put it away,i was laughing so hard,where does he get these sayings from,it makes you wonder sometimes,but its so cute.take care.pattie

yes I have heard these many many times, the one day I said well then go ahead pee your pants but if I clean up your toys I am giving them to little boys that do not have toys, he ran to the bathroom and came back and cleaned up his toys.. he even put some aside to take to goodwill

think you have hit them all and gran daughter is on;ly 2 1/2 lol

My kids never tried the "pee my pants" thing, but they sure tried all the rest of them. My daughter would always say "there's no room for them", and the shelves were completely bare because all the toys were on the stinkin' floor! At the time it wasn't so funny...it was downright aggravating. But now, looking back, it brings a laugh....maybe two. LOL

Hello Feona1962, They are so cute *smiles* That's why I love kids so so much *big hug* It seems that they have 1001 excuses and reasons for not doing what they don't want to do. My one year old baby son doesn't speak yet. He just mumble and sometimes saying something in his baby language.

iam sameer and enjoys in responding to the discussions in my point of view parents play a major role in making childrens life , parents have to treet the children with heartly and help them in every step untill they are phisically and mentally prepaired to the chalenges of this world picking up children is nothing but changing their life is every think

iam sameer and iam 18 years old in my point of view picking up the children is the joy enjoyed by the parents , if the parents love their children they will definetly pick up their children and show them currect way to which they have to walk in the future ,i think that parents have to treet their children with heartly and likely
