My husband does this. I’ve been all Yay Family Time THE PAST 14 HOURS STRAIGHT Who Wants Tv and they finally stop fighting/talking to me/throwing shizz around my kitchen and he comes home and threatens to shut off the tv because of some lame transgression and i give him the I’ll Cut You Bitch stare as he reaches for the remote because picture #2? That’s my kids.
Let’s be clear about this. Turning off the TV is only ever a punishment for the parents. But I can tell from your artistic “re-enactment” that you already get this. LOL.
Ummm….I don’t notice a picture here where they are off doing what you asked them to do in the first place….lol Guess you forgot to put that on up. I think that’s another reason for why I only had one child. There’s not such a “crowd” sound when he was yelling and crying.
Ok… for a minute there I thought you were in MY house. But the gender and ages are all wrong. LOL
One kid is good. Cheaper. Quieter. Takes up less space. LOL Multiple kiddos are cool too though. They pre-occupy each other. Help each other. Prepare each other on how to share their items, tolerate others differences, and how to perform a choke hold and fart in someone’s face if they don’t. :0)
I LOVE your drawings! That was Laugh Out Loud funny!

Ahhh yes. Kinda like sending the kids to their rooms for 30 minutes, for being annoying, all while forgetting you have keys in your hands because you were walking toward the door to go somewhere.
I laughed all weekend thinking of this, I’m so glad I’m an “EFFECTIVE PARENT” like you my dear. I normally only give the screaching and howling 5 minutes…;)
Heather says
Lol! Very nice depiction. So it was peaceful again, lucky you!

Patty Ann says

Deb says
Oh yesssssss. I’m a TV user too. It’s the only thing that keeps them quiet.
(I loved this – very, very, funny.)

Yeah….one of my better decisions.
Mama Kat says
I can’t even remember what I asked them to do in the first place…that’s how traumatizing their break from TV was for me.
Theresa says
Ha ha ha. Very nice. I think I have played this game at my house…

I’m surprised you actually made it 15 minutes.
Jen says

Liz @ The Six Year Itch says
Pretty much sums up my life on an every 15 minute basis.
Jennifer says
You can turn the TV off? I didn’t even realize it had a power switch.
