So what pushes your buttons?

[oso]

For me it's when Pilar cries and no one else does anything about it.  I feel like I'm the only one all day to care for her and for my husband to just sit there when she's hungry really pisses me off.  

With the girls it is when they act like we've never told them something before.  It drives me up the wall and they play it off really well. It took us awhile to figure it out but they say with the sweetest faces, you didn't tell me you told her.  

With my husband it is when Pilar does almost anything she shouldn't be doing.  Throwing food off the table or playing with the plants.  

The thing I always tell James and myself when the girls or Pilar are being naughty is that they're kids and it's their job to push the boundaries.  It's our job to show them where the boundaries stop any why.

When Andrew throws his pacis and lovie out of the crib. He won't nap without them, so it turns into a game of will.

My boys arguing. It's been non stop since school and baseball are over. I know they are bored, but we are moving this weekend so I hope that helps. I've been taking them to the park and pool, which helps too. Eli peed on the dresser and Micah....I was not happy AT ALL.

Lexi is whining a lot, but she's been sick. I've been exhausted lately and I'm trying not to let it bother me too much.

When Christian throws his food into the floor or when he throws his sopping wet wash cloth onto the bathroom floor.

When DH doesn't push his dresser drawers back in or leaves clothes all over the house. I also get ragey whenever he shaves and doesn't clean up his hair.

When H does her whining repeating act. YES I heard you! Saying it again won't change my answer! I'm immune to D's whining at this stage.

DH purposefully pushes my buttons with stupid expressions and sounds that he mocks me with if he feels like he's being nagged. Sometimes he does it for no reason. I've requested "sound effect" weekends before.

Oh my goodness, this. DD is really good at asking things over and over again, either because she didn't like the first answer or because she wasn't paying attention. I've finally told her to just stop asking because I'm not answering her question again.

With DS, the standing at my legs, whining to be picked up, anytime I'm in the kitchen.

When DH makes passive-aggressive comments like, "Maybe someday I'll get to sleep past 6 a.m." and "I guess I'll be the one to do X," rather than initiate a grown-up conversation about it.

[heyjojo]

Right now it's when he does "the plank" when I pick him up, try to get him in his carseat,try to get his shoes on, try to get him out of the tub, try to get him into the tub, try to change him...pretty much everything involves "the plank" now, and its really starting to annoy me.

[creamsiclechica]

My dogs farting constantly and chewing on their feet. The sound if them licking and chewing drives me insane.

When food touches on my plate.

When A kicks and thrashes about these days when she wants to fight nap time.

Matt snoring!!

When dh says things like, "I thought that the house was always going to be clean once you started staying home." "Yeah, so did I. I also though that you would learn how to pick up your own messes and throw away your trash by 28."

[oso]

I forgot this one, when my H eats liquid based foods. He slurps and smacks his lips. It really grosses me out.

It is seriously mind numbing. It happened this morning and as a result DH left some really important time sensitive documents at home and now I have to drive an hour round trip to deliver them. It scrambles my brain when I'm tired.

The whiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiining. I.Can't.Take.It.Anymore.

Thank God I can look at Henry and see proof that it does, eventually, end.

And summer vacation has just begun. Every day so far, DD has asked what she can have for lunch at 8 a. m. And again at 8:30. And 3 times in the 9 o'clock hour. By ten I tell her she's not allowed to ask about lunch, so she only asks about it once in the ten o'clock hour.

This gives me hope. Unless Henry stopped by age 4.5 in which case we are doomed :-)

When H gets home and plays damned video games all evening. You get TWO hours with your son each night, maybe you should, y'know, interact with him??

That would piss me off to no end. Sell the game console on Craig's List one day

Ugh, when DH eats a banana. Even when he keeps his mouth closed, it's so loud and nasty. I have no idea why it's so loud, but it is.

[mumegs]

The whining but she makes this sound like a long grunt over and over again when she's upset about something. It makes her sound like a devil baby or something. It just grates on my last nerve and i find myself just telling her to stop it all the time. I am afraid she knows that it gets our attention because it's so loud and annoying so I'm trying to ignore her when she does it.

[gekeler6]

A few things push my buttons. 
1- Anyone who makes a mess in my house and doesn't clean it up.  (i.e., takes a shower and leaves dirty clothes on the bathroom floor, grabs a snack and leaves the wrapper on the coffee table).  I might be on the OCD side, but I spend a lot of wasted time making sure messes are clean because we now have a baby in the house and apparently I'm the only one who has "messy vision" in my house.
2- The kids arguing, especially over stupid things like who is sitting where for the car, couch, or dinner.  And we have assigned seating so there should be NONE.
3- Why no one realizes how loud they are while I'm trying to get Evie down for the night.  DH is oblivious with house noise when the baby is sleeping.  You would think that will all the hard work it is to get this none sleeping baby to sleep that he would be walking on eggshells so we can have relaxing time at night.
4-How my DH has no idea how to pack a diaper bag.  He has no fore thought about what we might need if we go out somewhere.  He just assumes I magically have fresh bottles ready to go on demand.  He always just throws diapers and wipes in the bag, so sometimes I end up with 2 bags of wipes and a gazillion diapers.

My list can get long so I will just stop there!  hahaha, so many peeves for me.

[fusion]

H - he picks at scabs, smacks when he eats, and always takes his socks off around the house and leaves them places

J - he can be SO bossy to Anna and I am on my last nerve with it. He thinks he is a co-parent or something and will reprimand her for everything. I'm so sick of it.

A - she's pretty easy, but can be really clingy
