My son gets tons of band aids and because he has full access without limits, he always puts on a couple and leaves the rest. Lately none at all because the stigma is gone.EcoVeggieMaMahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18231507652989202961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1630801300684284574.post-35178365207825546262009-08-12T10:48:59.729-07:002009-08-12T10:48:59.729-07:00Blood?

Some kids would do that for a band-aid. :( <br /><br />I don't think parents hear what they ask their children to do in order to get what they want. Gosh. Just give'm band-aids. Speaking of which, I gotta remember to buy more. We're almost out of Spidey bands.~Katherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09951878454894964736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1630801300684284574.post-86410221095011417032009-08-06T09:27:55.422-07:002009-08-06T09:27:55.422-07:00No blood no band aid?

Believe me, sometimes I yearn for those days when a "kiss" could make it all better! I have a wonderful relationship with my kids - 21, 19, 16, and 12 - and I know it's, at least in part, to their always knowing I would meet their needs - and wants - whenever it was possible, that I cared what mattered to them, no matter what that was. Why would a mother feel the need to make her child's life so difficult over something so insignificant?Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02562812095027887481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1630801300684284574.post-58665055598597351902009-07-25T13:16:51.693-07:002009-07-25T13:16:51.693-07:00Wow!

We were remembering how we always had to have the special character band-aids when they were younger. They were thrilled when they got their very own boxes in their Christmas stockings. LOL They are so cheap, and such a small easy way to help a child feel better, I don't get why anyone would refuse them! Sad, sad, sad.<br /><br />We have a whole drawer full in our bathroom. They have always had free access to as many band-aids as they wanted, and now they hardly ever use them. Imagine that! ;PDeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08297303119146586446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1630801300684284574.post-43214384707685966062009-07-24T22:41:05.130-07:002009-07-24T22:41:05.130-07:00Sigh!

I used to be a no blood no band aid at times when $ was too tight. But they are cheap and make everyone happy, even me. So I gave up that a long time ago now. So sad to see a 9 year old is having temper tantrums. That says a lot about their parenting situation. :O(Heather's Moving Castlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16790219802039659669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1630801300684284574.post-88505771582320117402009-07-24T21:41:36.327-07:002009-07-24T21:41:36.327-07:00For me, it was transparent tape, until I realized ...For me, it was transparent tape, until I realized that I was experiencing major frustration and making my kids feel like crap over a $1 roll of tape. I bought them each their own roll and have kept an ample supply in the house ever since (even though they have long since stopped decorating their bodies with things as cheap as tape and Band-Aids!).<br /><br />I'm so glad I chose peace and kindness over making some inane point.Ronniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08951807743657971532noreply@blogger.com
