Ouch!

:imslow: What I go through for my children. :stupidme: Ugh! I just sat through the worst movie, and of course my children loved it. I think Shark Boy and Lava Girl have significantly lowered my IQ. My head is still throbbing from the torture! :crying: In fact they're upstairs shark boy and lava girl right now. Please someone help. Sedate me or something quick!!!! :please:

I forgot to mention I have a high tolerance for children's programming. I've made it through Barney, Wiggles and any numerous shows, but this was just painful!!!! This is a warning to all of you with children!!! Beware! :crazy:

my son wants to see thats but hes four so i told him to wait for it to come out on dvd.

Thanks for the heads up. I think I will use the D.V.D. angle as well, therefore, allowing them to see it whenever they want, in another room... I take it this one was worse than the spy-kids movies. Dang, what we do for our offspring..

The spy-kids was a theatrical masterpiece comparitively. ;) My brain is still aching!! :disbelief Ugh! I'll stick with animation anyday. Those stupid glasses were a big pain, and you had to put them on, take them off, again and again. I have a 3 and 5 yr old and they absolutely loved it, much to my dismay. I'm hoping they will forget about it when it's on DVD but not likely with my luck. I'm sure I'll be watching it in the comforts of my own home many times. :tears:

Thanks for the head's up.....one of those dvd's that may just get "lost" in the house if it starts to make my head hurt and my ears bleed.

Personally Mike and I loved the Shrek movies....lots of fun for the 4 year old but enough adult humour so his dad and I didn't doze off. Mike Myers, Cameron Diaz and Eddie Murphy did such a good job on those movies!

Our 4 year old's current thing is to walk around the house saying in a hilariously deep voice...I am your father Luke.....very very funny since coincidentally his older brother (age 13) is named....Luke!

I'm sure your older son just LOVES that! :bonk: My sister still has a severe dislike for Winnie the Pooh. All because we sang the song as Wendy the Pooh. :shh: It seemed so harmless, but drove her bonkers! Which is, of course, the reason we did it all the more! :D :clap:

Oh Man, I remember those times. I dont envy you Moms out there who have little kids that are interested in these cheesy mindless shows they make for our kids to watch. My kids were the Barney stage... it got so bad that by the time my daughter was 7- she hated Barney voluntarily (meanwhile, my youngest still watched it), she got this 2 foot Barney doll, from her Grandmother for X-Mas, and she waited till the next day and tied it to the back of my little tiny chevette I was driving at the time, and seeing as though we lived in a tiny town, we dragged Barney behind my car around town for about a week before his neck and head separated and he flew off the back of my car. But what made it even funnier, I had a 6 foot whip antenna for my cb sitting directly on top of my car, it looked like a remote control Barney murdering machine. I think all these kids shows are nothing but a plot, to lower our kids IQ's along with ours~
::evil::

My kids are 12 and almost 14, so they no longer get into stuff like that.. but on the up side, they do go to the movies ALOT without me... gives me time at home alone to do what I need/want to do.

My little sisters watched Barney so much, I went to my college classes humming the songs. It was so embarassing. I wish you had a picture of Barney strapped to the back of your car. That's motherly love for ya! I will have that picture in my head for the rest of the day :giggle:

I've made it through the Wiggles and this weird Go Baby thing on Disney (that one actually kinda freaks me out). Dora and Thomas the Tank Engine are still draining an amazing amount of money out of us. My children are now becoming an advertisers dream. They see stuff on tv and just want it. They have no clue what some of it is, but they want it. :rolleyes:

omg Jeanne I laffed out loud so hard that my husband wondered what I was reading LOL. That's too freakin funny!!!!

We had a Barney doll that talked when you squeezed him...he got some sort of short and would suddenly talk without warning...scared the crap outta me more than once....up on the top bunk making the older girl's bed when this crazy purple critter starts in with "you want to be my friend" coming from my younger girl's bottom bunk...one day my younger one threw it down the stairs. I took this for a sign Barney had now creeped us all out sufficiently enough LOL.

Mine are currently 17, 13, 11 and 4....I can't win when it comes to movies and by 2006 the three oldest will all be teenagers so I'm just saving up for that really REALLY big bottle of Valium. On the upside, by the time the youngest hits puberty I'll likely be working on a good case of senility so I'm thinkin his teen years should be a blast! LOL
