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

:lmao: I'm sure by the time your youngest hits teenagerdom they'll have some nice new drugs!! We can hope? ;)

Between you and Jeanne you are not giving me much hope for the future here!!! Is there a return policy on the little boogers? :confused: :rolleyes:

Had to drag out the "Wendy-the-pooh" story didn't ya! :eek: :oops:


You neglected to mention the part you where you two screamed that my head was stuffed with fluffies...you big meanies :tears:

To my credit I actually rented Pooh's Heffelump movie for my little one (he'll be three on Friday). We try to limit some of the TV to veggie tales and stuff but he was couch bound since monday as his father slipped down the stairs while carrying him and landed on his little foot. A broken first metatarsal and cast two days later and he's bouncing around like it never happend...ahh, the resilance of youth!

Sorry I couldn't resist!!! :devilish: It wasn't my fault if pooh was stuffed with fluff!! I was just singing the song :D Besides your head was stuffed with fluff ;)

I guess I should be nice, since your poor little boy is hurt. Ok, I'll start now :D

Awww poor wee baby boy. My older boy was in a cast from a greenstick break when he was just under 3 (climbing where he shouldn't whilst I was changing his lil sister's dirty butt, fell and twisted his poor leg under him). Nothing keeps them down long though thank goodness.

One of the bonuses of having sibs is the ability to happily torture them, wonder how poor single kids ever get along having missed that joy LOL. (Hmmm probably saves on that long term counselling tho over the whole "head is full of fluff issue" LOL)

Nah, who needs therapy! It builds character!! It's just sibling duty to keep the others in line. ;) Ok, well maybe a little therapy may be in order. :P Somehow I don't remember being tortured, of course I was the oldest and got blamed for everything....so I consider it fair play :D :giggle:

You poor souls, I managed to excape the "Barny" craze. That was the one show that I was able to keep off of my idiot box. Of course, I had to pay the price with Bear in the big blue house, Franklin, Circle Time, Blues Clues, (Still not sure about that steve guy), Little bear, Sponge Bob and of course Bob the Builder. What mass confusion. I had to go and spend $7,000.00 on a couple of A.T.V's just to get my son out of the house and out from in front of the idiot box. My God, If the kids today grew up like I did with only one or two channels to choose from, and only cartoons on Saturday Morning, they would go crazy :eyepoppin. Now they have 24 hour cartoons, Some of which I have my doubts on, at the touch of a button. But you know, when it is all said and done, it is our own fault, we have the ability to fix that problem.

As far as kid movies go, I agree with the Shrek thing.. Dang, it don't get much funnier than that, of course Nemo was good as well as that Sharks Tale, with Will Smith. My favorite was the Marley bro's jelly fish... WHat a treat.

I am finished with my :twocents: and I hope that this finds everyone in here well. Just remember as the great Joe Dirt said, Life's a garden, Dig It! and Just keep on keepin on.

cheers
