You Can’t Have Nothing With Kids

My Mom used to say that. Bad English and all.
“Damn, I can’t have nothing with y’all!”
Now, I know what she means.
“Mom, what are you eating? Can I have some? Yeah, I know it’s your last bite, but I wanna taste it.”
I give it up.
“Yuck” *spits it out* “That’s nasty.”
Then there’s the audacity.
“Mom, who drank the last soda?”
“Me.”
“What?! I wanted that!!”
“You were in school. How was I supposed to know?”
“Well, don’t drink the last of anything.”
“Excuse you?”
And it’s not just the ten-year-old.
Jack: Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm
Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm = “I don’t know what that is you’re eating. And I don’t have teeth. But I want it. Give it to me!”
And now it has crossed over from food to my video games! I asked Donny to buy Animal Crossing: City Folk on the Wii for me! ME ME ME! After one day Kali started giving me this face every time she wanted to play and I wouldn’t let her:
“Is it my turn yet, Mama?”
“Who said you get a turn?”
“I thought you said it’s important to share?”
Son of a bitch.



Nina is a 34-year-old mother, wife and writer who spends her days blogging, studying, changing diapers and watching ridiculous amounts of TV. She currently resides in Atlanta, Georgia, with her husband, two children and three TiVos.




My daughter is the queen of "can I have a bite". Although most of the time she actually likes it (double edged sword). She never actually comes right out and says, "Can I have a bite." She just say stuff like, "that looks good" and bat her eyelashes at you.....

Anywho, Noah says "you are LUCKY you get to play the wii" And I in turn say, it isn't my fault you are electronically grounded for getting caught playing gameboy under the covers at midnight...

LikeHaha. I remember being that way!
I don't have kids but when my boyfriend's, roommates kid is with us every other weekend, I can't get nothing!
She wants to try everything but likes NOTHING!
It's gotten to the point where i'll grab something out of the fridge and run to the basement real quick.
BAM!
"What do you have?"
"...Nothing...."
"Really? can I try?"
"DOn't you want Burger King? Tell your daddy to get you Burger King"
Or I'll actually get her something....
"Ariyanna, I got you frenchtoast sticks."
"I don't like french toast sticks!"
"Really? You seemed to like them when you were all up in my koolaid last week"
"Can I have some kool-aid?"
Vicious. Cycle.

LikeYeah kids can lay it on thick and make you feel rotten if you don't share with them.
I mean there have been times where I've cooked and fixed my son's plate, sat at the table while the kids are eating and he may play around and eat some stuff, but not always all. Once he's done, it's like he is hungry all over again because he will come trying to eat off either my plate or his dads. And it's hard to say no to them.
I can remember one night my husband bought bellacinos for he and I to eat for dinner and the kids wanted pizza. My daughter say my steak sandwich and suddenly wanted it. I wanted so badly to tell her no but gave her a bite. But nooo, that one bite didn't satisfy her. She comes back and says that I was good can I have another bite. I'm thinking I know it's good that's why I don't want to share, but of course I do everytime.

LikeHahahaha! After a certain age, they kinda know when you've ordered the "good shit" for yourself and given them the regular stuff. Like, whenever we'd have something really expensive, different, or spicy, we'd make Kali hot dogs and mac n' cheese. Now, she's like, "Um, why I gotta have this and y'all get to eat THAT?"

LikeNot my Kids but someone else's:
I am trying to sneak and eat my McDonald's
My godson finds me: BITE. BITE Peez.
Me: Here take a fry.
Him: Mmm BITE PEEZ
Me: Here. (I proceed to hide the fry box) All Gone
Him: Peez (reaching for my soda)
Me: No you cant have any
Him: (climbing in my lap) Peez
Me: No ( I turn my head for one second)
That little greedy thing starts sipping on my straw.

LikeThat is hilarious! Reminds me of my son. We call him Fatso, because he likes to eat. But he is the smallest thing moving (18 months weighs about 24 lbs). I think he just likes to eat what we have ( i guess it really does taste better).

LikeWe can't have treats until after they go to bed, that is if it's just for us. Games on the internet everything. WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA I remember my daddy used to call us kids Vultures sometimes. I truly understand that.

LikeIn our house, we say, "Nobody can't have nothing!" Bad grammar and all, but it's not just the babies, it's Scott too. Shoo!
That's why I eat my Caramello when babies are in school or bed!
