  • I would love to slap you

    I don't have kids. It's not because I don't like them. I have 2 nephews & a baby cousin who are absolutely delightful. While I don't know if I could live with children, this asshat takes it way too far with his commentary. Tell me what you think:

    Customer: there is this two year old who lives here who loves hitting buttons! I would just like to smash her with a hammer!
    Me: um...
    Customer: you know, i just hate her! She loves buttons and & hate that! I just want to...arg!!!

    I know why I want to slam this guy to the ground. Tell me your thoughts...

    Hell, I've had my lifetime's fill of kids, as my Mom used to run an in-home daycare. But even I wouldn't 'smash kids'... that would involve a quick call to the police, I'm thinkin'.

      I think that either a call to the police, or the DCFS is in order. Do you have a recording of that phone call that you can give them to be used as evidence?

        My neighbor jokes about throwing her 5 year old son in the dryer to get him to behave. She would never in a thousand years do so, but if you were just walking by and heard her say it, you might think she is a danger to her son, when she is not.

        I sometimes joke about duct taping my children and throwing them in the closet or selling them to the gypsies. I would never do anything to harm my children, but if you didn't know me very well and heard my say it, you may think I could be a danger to my children.

        Parents sometimes have a very bizarre sense of humor when it comes to dealing with our children.

          My mother used to say that all the time. I wonder where that started...?

              selling them to the gypsies.
              I've said that to my nieces and nephews. If we're up near Bonduel (in WI), I'll say something about selling them to the Amish.

                My Mum always used to threaten to marmalise us.
                (definition: "I'd kill you if I didn't love you.")

                And threaten to run off with the milkman. (Our milkman was a mythical creature, no-one ever saw him. Gran even got up at 5am several times to catch him, never managed it.)

                  We always wanted to put up signs stating unattended children would be sold to the nearest band of Gypsies, just so I could hang out in my Gypsy costume and scare people.

                    They really can . . . I've heard my own mother threaten to put my brother in the doghouse and move the dogs inside.

                    Don't ask her if she wants to adopt . . . she'll tell you she doesn't have a spare doghouse.

                      Don't get me wrong, I love my daughter with all my heart, and would never hurt her. But, I've lost track of the number of times I've threatened to turn her into a duct-tape catepillar, or to take her out back "and wup the dog-snot out of her". To which she usually giggles and gives me a cuddle.

                          ITA, with the point that lots of people have said thing jokingly or in jest..I think it's overreacting to talk about calling the police and tape recorders.
