This is probably the worst parenting decision I've ever made. No, not probably. It IS the worst parenting decision I've made. I've opened some sort of portal to Hell.

It's going on five days since I assembled it. I've had the shakes for two days. The cats haven't been seen since about three seconds after the initial barrage.

I was going to stuff the things full of towels, but my Mom convinced me not to as that would "take all the fun out of it". Spoken truly like a woman who is 5000 kilometres away from Ground Zero.

Someone please tell me that he'll be a rock star some day - hopefully by Tuesday of next week - and buy me a cigar boat.

Another man with cats….maybe the gay wedding thread does fit in with the NSMB crowd after all.

I know a guy who bought his kid a compound bow.Guess how that worked out…..(think one less cat)

Kid at my school has bagpipes, accordian and portable organ. I feel bad for his parents.

Guess you never heard the old Chinese Proverb:

To get even with your enemy, buy his children drums.

I wanted a dog. My wife wanted a cat. We compromised and got two cats.

proof that men dont really think things through…

i'd leave it in the driveway and roll over it, and tell your kid there was a "regrettable incident", and buy him some ice cream :P

Actually, having a toddler is proof enough that I don't think things through!

I'm not sure I have the heart to take them away - he's absolutely MANIC with joy. It's three of his great passions in one - music, being loud and smashing stuff.

actually, i applaud you - i think it's awesome. kids should be allowed to be kids - get dirty, make messes, make lots of noise.

my landlords have taken away the sidewalk chalk from their kids (3 under the age of 5) because it makes a mess :rolleyes: makes me very sad.

I'm gonna buy drums for my sister's kids. :lol:

Why would you do that to yourself?
