When my children were university students, they should have understood the value of money but didn't. They would say "Let me buy this pair of shoes, it only costs $200. You can afford that easily".
I was outraged at their cavalier attitude.. how many hours of work it took me to earn $200; how many people in the community did NOT have that sort of money to throw away on luxuries; why they couldn't wear the perfectly good shoes that were lying in the bottom of their cupboard.
*sigh* kids today... they are not like kids were, in my day.-
I already gave my top three peeves:
1. their cavalier attitude to the use of my money;
2. their ignorance of financial hardship in this country; and
3. their unpreparedness to recycle, repair, make do.
Now let me add "messiness". I don't want to be able to eat off their floor. Just to SEE their floor.

Time to bring the belt back out,and put the feelings on the top shelf

Kids that argue with you. My daughter's only 3 years old, in any case her argument isn't invited yet.

Mine always have to have the last word
I have to drag them out of bed for school, but they bounce up at 6.45am at the weekends
they have a favourite food one day, then when the fridge is full of it they "don't like that anymore" -
In no particular order:
*Throwing food on the floor when she does not want it.
*Pulling all of the DVD's out of the DVD rack
*Picking up anything with liquid in it and pouring it on the floor
My daughter is 21 months old so she is still doing a lot of exploring. -
The overuse of the word "mom"
P!ssy toilet seats
"Mom, what's for dinner?" followed by an answer and followed by "Eww!"-
lol! yes, those three fit.
