OK...for the most part, I never try to complain about how long I've been doing a certain mothering chore as that just comes with having nine kids, spanning 19 years apart. :) However, last night as I was biting my tongue to say something very unmothering to my three-year old, I realized that I HAVE to complain...I just have to...and perhaps I'm not the only mother who has done a chore so long that she just can't stand it...I HATE, let me try and underscore this...I HATE, HATE, HATE washing out poopie panties!!!! I swear, I can't wash out another pair of poopie pants...leaning over the toilet, rinsing and rinsing, getting poop under my fingernails, having to wash my hands repeatedly and still unsuccessfully able to get the poop smell off which then leads me to keep swabbing on hand-sanitizer!!!! UGGGHHHHHH!!!!! My prayer for the day? No poopie panties! :)

Depending upon the severity of the poops I used to throw some of them away, if you do this it is important to put them in the trash OUTSIDE, not in the kitchen trash can! The mothering task I hate is trying to get kids to brush their teeth!

That's a good one to hate...especially when you take the kids to the dentist, after all the nagging, and the kid confesses to NOT brushing their teeth....another long UGGGHHH!

Oh... I am completely with ya on the poopie undies! I only have two children but have seen an army's worth of poopie-stained panties... thank goodness we've progressed beyond that these days!

I'm counting the days...although I thought we had pretty much conquered the poopie pants but I'm realizing that the youngest is a "hide and go poop" kind of girl...not sure why as she doesn't seem scared to go poop on the potty seat...

Yep, not a fan of vomit. Poop is no fun either, but I really didn't have a problem with that one. Body functions can be ever so icky...
