Yep, there shoul...I just read this, I am so sorry!<br /><br />Yep, there should be two parents. I know about that. And yep - stop "letting" the kid chew on his nails, like I can stop "letting" my girl do crazy things...Oh yeah, I got to actually push the x-ray machine button when my son got hurt in the pool (neck) because the hospital was so short staffed - sorry you had to hold him down.SueBeadshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11864619666721794935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7705112.post-20188049861899518782010-03-22T18:01:54.746-07:002010-03-22T18:01:54.746-07:00Don't you just love advice?

My friend was telling me about the time her 6 year old son threw himself on the floor at the airport for the 3rd or 4th time, in hysterics about wanting something she couldn't give him at that moment and decided parenting through fear was the way to go. She leaned over amid the hustle and bustle and whispered "I saw a kid get run over by an airport trolley once. Ripped his arm clean off." You've never seen a tantrum end so fast and I've never laughed so hard! I'm guessing the memory of that evening was scare therapy enough! Good luck with the fingers and toes! Glad you made it out in one piece!Gaeahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11549165682864974309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7705112.post-59213029312238604252010-03-22T16:38:51.143-07:002010-03-22T16:38:51.143-07:00Ah, Kelly, you poor things.

I sympathize with childhood habits that you have no way to stop. I had a nail biter and and the other a thumb sucker. Good lord did I get tired of hearing that I needed to stop the behaviours. Eventually, Ryan will grow out of this.SummersStudiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10250150360701388415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7705112.post-74638308524933107632010-03-19T15:59:05.250-07:002010-03-19T15:59:05.250-07:00Oh you poor woman.

My mom was a single mother to me for the first 8 years of my life and from the ER visits I can remember, I know she would totally relate (side note - this is probably why I am terrified of having kids and would rather chew my own toes right off than have kids as I couldn't deal with that stress). I was almost in tears thinking of that night as you described it. I am so sorry you had to go through that and yeah, deadbeat dads have a whole lot of *expletive deleted* coming for them :)<br />GIANT hugs, you survived and it will get better.<br />MegMeghannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14733200185181822610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7705112.post-50741448026950130032010-03-19T14:26:37.034-07:002010-03-19T14:26:37.034-07:00Poor Kelly poor Ryan...

He'll eventually stop chewing his toenails when he's no longer flexible enough to do it! Or, when he tells someone at school about it and they ridicule him. Peers have way more influence than Moms.<br /><br />My Word verification is "Whincier" = what I felt as I read your story. Or, a person that cries after he's chewed his toes off.Cynthiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12337101534643323960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7705112.post-74876895597249184252010-03-19T08:23:54.945-07:002010-03-19T08:23:54.945-07:00Oy, what a night!

That is awful. And I know just what you speak of with ER docs and holding kids down... there was the big gob of fossilized ear wax incident with my daughter and the fact that she was GOING DEAF becuase of it. I have never seen a rock that huge come out of someone's ear with a long tweezers.<br /><br />Enjoy the day!<br />Erin<br />(And we all feel like we lost a day this week...must be that time-space continuum thing!)TesoriTrovatihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12771359288546654791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7705112.post-14714596300998663302010-03-18T13:07:30.881-07:002010-03-18T13:07:30.881-07:00maybe that was mother nature teaching him a lesson...maybe that was mother nature teaching him a lesson? next time remind him of the giant needle and lancing that await him...then if you want to get really graphic you could tell him he's lucky you caught it in time because his toe could fallen clean off! nothing like a little fear as a motivator.<br /><br />...you can tell i'm not a mother, huh??Barbara Bechtelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01245733527571208892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7705112.post-17836929277887182992010-03-18T12:14:58.954-07:002010-03-18T12:14:58.954-07:00Be glad you didn't need to pick up anything fo...Be glad you didn't need to pick up anything for him at the deli counter.
