You pushy little fuckers, it seems like as soon as we’re done crying over one, another little douchebag comes along causing grief for our whole household! My child doesn’t deserve this. Yes it’s a normal part of growing up but it’s not like these little pricks are going to stick around. Yeah they’re cute at first but we all know it’s temporary. I’m getting sick of the late nights staying up dealing with the tears. Nothing seems to help the poor kid is inconsolable, I don’t remember feeling this pain but I can sympathize kiddo. Maybe it’s time to try one of those amber necklace things. Fuck I hate teething. —Made in the ’80s

slip the kid some bath salts…
pain be gone and he’ll eat anything you put in front of him.
Yes that’s what I need a baby that will eat my face off, think I’ll stick with the sleepless nights but A for creativity haha
well you can chain him down or cage him up first…
be a responsible parent.
lol @ made!
Take the kid sailing:

Apparently you just rub a little bit on their gums?? I HEARD it works but then, I’m not a parent, so….(maybe there’s a reason for that??)
If you DO try this, you didn’t hear it from me. 😉
Talk to a pharmacist. I’m sure you’ve already tried Advil or Tylenol, and if not, they can be a big help. Plus, something frozen to bite on, do they still sell freezable teething rings? Good luck. I’ve been there, it sucks!
You cant give kiddos that stuff anymore unfortunately!
I think I’ll try the rum on MYSELF haha. A friend of mine swears by the necklace so I’m going to pick one up and give it a whirl
such a good mother… instead of giving the little bundle

Your second link doesn’t work Z
god damn image caching…
ruining my jokes.
grrrr.
btw, it was a noose
Freezable teething rings are invaluable – I had one shaped like a pretzel – the kid would gum it for 20 minutes, then get a swab of Oraljel. I know it sounds crazy but I miss those times now.
me too ttfn. i checked the boy’s baby book and i used frozen bagels for him to gnaw on. this too shall pass, ma’am
ever hear tell of oragel?it works wonders on kids, and also on adults with teeth problems. it’s only a tempoary fix, but one that the kid will certainly enjoy. it deadens the gums around affected area. ask a dentist, he will tell you the same as i just did. the only other thing to use is tincture of cloves, tastes great, and really works wonders too.
This too shall pass.
I hear ya, OP. Why my kid never seemed to suffer as much during those times was because there seemed to be lots and lots of things to chew and to take her mind off the pain. If you can manage to get out frequently with the wee bairn and a bunch of chewable toys and/or snacks, you may find your child distracted enough not to complain.
Just wait until teeth start cyber-bullying.
“This too shall pass.” – Lolz 🙂
Rum just plain works.

lol @ Hugo. That pic is awesome! The happy 1000 yard drunk stare. Too funny!
Yarrr! Do ye be likin’ yer grog, Hugo? I’m not much of a rum drinker meself but, we’ll definately have to go splice the mainbrace sometime. I’ve got some of ‘Nelson’s Blood’ sitting in a flagon in my cabinet. The real Pusser’s stuff. Haven’t cracked the seal yet. Only thing missing is the tot cup but, I’m sure we could eyeball it 😉
Did it surprise you to the first time it crapped. Fuck it’s teething that billions of partents over millions of years have had to contend with. Suck it up Buttercup and welcome to parenthood. Oh and don’t worry, soon this will be remembered as a minor inconvenince as your kid gets into further shit down the road.
U mad Bro? It’s a JOKE. I have a 2 year old so I know it passes I know every age has its ups and downs. I know one day I’ll be in the nursing home wishing I was still changing diapers not wearing them. Right now though I miss him sleeping through the night and nothing is working, mostly I feel bad that my super happy baby is now a super frustrated and sad baby 🙁

Of course, because it was so well written as a joke.
Dont worry Timbo I wasn’t going to quit my day job or anything, just killing time at 3 am between bouts of screaming 🙂
New parents are almost as annoying as their crying brats.
I just hate it when facebook profiles have a picture of just a kid…
how the bloody hell would I know who that is…
it makes me grrrr and arggggg.
you know all about *annoying* dontcha monsieur gras^^
Mainly because it results from comments from passive-aggressive cunts who don’t fucking know me.
yikes
Just kidding.
Heh- I had no idea you can’t give tot’s painkillers these days. My 3 girls had Tylenol when they were little, for fevers, and teething pain, and sometimes my doc recommended it with vaccination pain/crankiness.
They are all almost grown now, and very healthy. I wonder what changed? I can’t imagine not giving them something for relief, as long as it’s only used as directed.
They can have the baby specific painkillers that you dose by weight. I think secret agent was referring to the old rum on the gums trick. I did read that acetometophen is the most likely painkiller to cause a harmful overdose if they get into it so it’s better to go with children’s Advil/Motrin. It’s cough suppressants they reccommend avoiding for children under 5 now.
My mom OD’s on baby asprin when she was 2. She saw it on a high shelf in the kitchen, opened drawers to form steps and climbed up onto the counter and ate the container because she thought they were candy. My grandmother walked in right as she was finishing the bottle off and rushed her to the hospital.
Probably wouldn’t’ve known until it was too late if she hasn’t walked in just then.
You can’t give kids asprin anymore because they can develop Reye’s syndrome.
that’s the name, i couldn’t remember. we didn’t give the kid aspirins because of that. he was really sick at about 6 months, and we gave him medicine our doctor recommended…liquid something. he kept throwing it up, so we decided to taste it, holy hell, it tasted like battery acid. he didn’t get sick much but we always made sure the stuff tasted good

Homeopathy= bullshit.
How is it the water “remembers” the (supposed) chosen “medicine” but not every dead body or turd/peepee that it’s been in contact with?
