If you find yourself wanting to annoy your child for some reason—no judgment here—it’s surprisingly easy to do. Here are some strategies that might just get under their skin.
- Wake them up early in the morning.
- Use your saliva to clean their face when they least expect it.
- Mistakenly toss their current homework into the recycling bin, thinking it was old work.
- Announce a reduction in screen time and actually enforce it.
- Ignore their call from school when they claim to be sick because your phone was on silent, resulting in them hanging out with that peculiar classmate in the nurse’s office.
- Discard that one piece of artwork they believe is crucial for their happiness.
- Request they feed the dog, even if it’s their only chore.
- Attempt to clarify their homework using different terminology than their teacher, leading to confusion.
- Stop reading at a suspenseful moment in a favorite book, like Harry Potter. “And just as the creature was about to attack Harry and his friends… Well, goodnight, sweetheart! Sweet dreams!”
- Suggest they change their outfit when they are set on that old, shrunken sweater and mismatched pants.
- Remind them that their homework is still pending.
- Keep only unexciting snacks at home.
- Allow their favorite socks to develop holes and be unable to mend them properly.
- Refuse to buy the latest Skylanders characters because you’ve already spent a fortune on the previous ones.
- Get dizzy watching their Minecraft roller coaster and miss the “coolest part” because you had to close your eyes.
- At the dinner table, insist they use utensils.
- Encourage them to use a napkin instead of their shirt.
- Ask them to use polite language while eating.
- Demand they simply sit in a chair without fidgeting.
- Try to explain concepts they are learning at school, despite their belief that they know more than you—even with your advanced degree in Physical Therapy.
- Offer only boring viewing options, then reminisce about how limited your choices were as a child, resulting in glazed-over eyes from your child.
- Kindly ask them to aim for the toilet instead of just the vicinity.
- Inform them that bedtime has arrived.
