SO frustrating. <BR/><BR/>The funniest thing I ever threw was my breast pump, complete with a half full bottle of breast milk attached. It broke, and there was milk all over the wall, the buffet and the carpet. I don't even remember why I threw it now...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18378633.post-1159672457618616182006-09-30T22:14:00.000-05:002006-09-30T22:14:00.000-05:00This is a late breaking comment, but I find that o...This is a late breaking comment, but I find that offering an M&M or jelly bean chaser makes the medicine go down much smoother! When my firstborn had his tonsils taken out at the age of 2 it took 3 adults (two of whom are near the 300 lb mark) holding him down on the kitchen floor to get a squirt of tylenol with codine in him!!!Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09327853756206724940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18378633.post-1158940863007417242006-09-22T11:01:00.000-05:002006-09-22T11:01:00.000-05:00Okay. I had the same problem with my youngest. Her...Okay. I had the same problem with my youngest. Here's what you do. Lay them face up on the floor. Sit down with their head between your legs so that their legs are kicking away from you and their arms are under your legs, being careful of course not to hold them down too tightly. This way they can't get away from you. Use one hand to hold face still and mouth open and the other to squirt the syringe full of medicine in the mouth. Hold their mouth closed till they swallow. It sound cruel, but letting them go on until they get a full blown sinus infection is worse.Gwendolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01183919591665376318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18378633.post-1158780807678907612006-09-20T14:33:00.000-05:002006-09-20T14:33:00.000-05:00Oh I'm so glad I'm not the only one that reaches t...Oh I'm so glad I'm not the only one that reaches that point!!Musings of a Housewifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09854615817486354491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18378633.post-1158591964477790392006-09-18T10:06:00.000-05:002006-09-18T10:06:00.000-05:00You are hilarious!

This helps things go smoothly for a few days. And frankly I feel better after blowing off steam. Amazing that the art of throwing stuff isn't found in parenting books.
