my 3yr old loves her books but she's got one that you press buttons and it plays a little musical tune. She wont press it once though, she has to press it about 10 times though 
I am soooooo close to removing the batteries and telling her it broke 
What cruel things have you had to do to save your sanity when it comes to children? |

Are you saying you take money off your kids?!  |

I've always told my daughter that the alarm detectors are cameras direct to Father Christmas and he switches them on to check she was being good!!!
I also knew one day she was lying about something she'd done so I told her that they also recorded everything and I could watch them back which obviously got a confession out of her cos she thought she'd been rumbled!! This did come back and bite me though when some months later she had lost something she needed for school and declared its ok mum you can just watch the video to see when I last had it!! Oops |

Put several layers od selotape over the speaker holes. It will reduce the volume significantly.
Several of my sons toys have selotape on them  |

When my boys were about 4 they were messing about and wouldnt get ready for bed....i told them a story about the pajama police,about 5 mins later and perfect timing some sirens loud and flashing were going to a nieghbours ive never seen them move so fast in tears begging me to send them away.
They got ready for bed on time for ages.
Told my daughter there is a sugar allowance and if you go over it you get sick so you can only have that much in a day. |

When my nephews and nieces used to visit I'd hide the wii and the Xbox and say that as I had no children I had no toys in the house!
They'd then spend all their visiting time sat plugged into their Nintendo DS's - meaning nothing ever got broken or covered in sticky finger marks!
I also of course had no sweets, Disney films - or in fact that special tv channel that only parents had - cbeebies!!
For some reason they used to love visiting me and sooooo looked forward to their annual invasion! |

Its funny what kids get into their heads also.
Years ago taking the boys to school they must have been about 4 or 5 we used to walk past a big factory with a huge chimney...one says to the other santa lives there...the other says no he doesn't and after a lengthy argument he turns round and shouts...don't be so stupid he lives next door to school ive seen him! |

I was once added to a Facebook group (without being asked) called 'Kids Swap Shop'
I said I had a six year old boy I'd like to swap for a new car and a fit brunnette.
Apparently that wasn't the idea. It was about clothes swapping  |

The scrap metal guy drives round our town on a daily basis. You can hear his calls but sometimes cant make out what he is saying.
Told my son he's the child catcher and is calling for all the naughty children!!!!
Works a treat, to get him settled and quiet for a bit!!!! |

That fruit shoot gives her an upset tummy because when she has them they send her loopy. But she asks for water at home so no reason why she can't have that out and about! |
