Every day is a battle with your kids just to get them to do the basics of parenting! Website: www.michaelmcintyre.co.uk/ Facebook: / themichaelmcintyre Twitter: @McInTweet #MichaelMcIntyre #BigShow #Parenting
I used that saying in a restaurant my sister didn’t want to put her coat on as I’m hot and I just said “that’s because they heated the restaurant but not the rest of the world” it was so funny
When my Korean wife watched this she said with the most perfectly serious look, “He obviously doesn’t have children, we don’t have any of those issues.” I replied, “Honey, our daughter is 7 months old.”
I have never met him or his children, but he is bang on with my 6 year old! The drama, the tones, the tantrums, the struggles, all of it. I've been feeling like I'm losing my mind lately and was seeking realistic parenting advice. I found this guy. Its nice to hear someone else share their struggles and be able to laugh about it.
Eppeacially the screaming, like the “I HATE IT I HATE IT! YOU CANT FORCE US YOU CANT FORCE US!” And the sound effects for the shampoo eye with the “WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT TO ME!?”
The Roman Day - I died 😂 My daughter did this kind of thing all the time! Teachers surely thought I was the worst parent ever. Now she’s a mom and I’m looking forward to sharing Michael’s routine with her in a few days.
@@theMaraudersrock she is a lovely intelligent girl from a loving caring home , don't let the rest worry you 😘. As parents we beat ourselves up and are constantly judged or told what to do and how to do it by others ...... Well I'm telling you all that truly matters is your daughter's happiness and I bet she's happy 🤗 x
@@theMaraudersrock has she been tested for ADD? I've been reading up a lot on the differences between males and females as my fiancee has it we think his sister might too as the differences between male and female ADD is pretty amazing they say that's why girls go unnoticed because usually they do better then the boys esp at hiding it
@@amyavraam8986 I was the same... Born 1965.... Super intelligent..musical...forgot everything... Daydreamed...shy...turns out it was mild tourettes and OCD and anxiety disorder.... Improved with age and I blossomed in my college years and 20s.... Have been a professional violinist in symphony orchestras all over the world for over 30 years... Creativity is my middle name... Organised I am not! It will work out you know... Everyone has a touch of something my doc says... Too much medication isn't always the answer but can help in the short term ..Good luck!
I raised two boys myself. They’re grown now with kids of their own. I did the mommy curse on them , you know that " I hope you have one just like you” and they did. My youngest son called and said mom I don’t know how you did it. I just laugh.
THE MOMENT HE SAID, "1 carrot, 5 peas, and this floret of broccoli" I BURST INTO TEARS BECAUSE IT'S TRRRRUUUUUEEEEEE. I'm like *this is not a negotiation get diabetes and hypertension on ur own time junior.*
My mom would have none of that nonsense. Eat or don't eat, our choice. Just know that mealtimes are set and there are no snacks in between. Want ice cream? Then eat what I give you. We didn't have to finish, but we did have to have some of everything. She always made sure we liked what was on the plate though. If it was something new she would tell us to try it. If we liked it fine, if we didn't like it that was fine too. We were allowed to leave what we didn't like as long as we tried it first.
"Dad, it's Roman Day." Comes from the generations of teachers convinced that small children can be relied upon to convey important information to parents on their own. My niece missed out on a field trip because no one bothered to check in on the status of a permission slip. Her backpack was like a black hole: once inside, things stayed inside.
Sooo true. My mom got so tired of me losing/forgetting permission slips that she taught me to forge her signature so I could just hand it in myself. Who thought it was a good idea to make small children important mail carriers?!?!!? I lost 10 lunch boxes in 3 years and they had food in them!!!
Hopefully the kids learn to pay closer attention and get the forms signed AND returned to teacher if they want to participate in whatever activity is coming up. The stakes are much lower for a child learning responsibility than a teen or adult who never learned to be responsable. But there is great incentive! I think the form-signing etc builds independence and responsibility. But yeah, it’s rough, and not every kid excels or “gets it” the first time. It’s difficult for me to remember to be gracious and sympathetic while my eldest continues to struggle in this area, but I know she will learn if we keep at it and don’t throw in the towel.
As a big sister I'm uncomfortable at how much I can relate to this. People with 10+ years difference between your sibling, you know what I'm talking about.
My dad literally made us learn from our mistakes! He didn’t fight about with us. He told us once and said after we declined “fine but don’t complain when you get cold”.....either 7 seconds later we did whatever he told us to do or we suffered the consequences and listened next time! 😝
My children r grey I the face from cold with white lips and when I ask them r u cold now to offer the jacket I have been holding for them they say....nope 🙅♀️
Mom of three kids - 6Y, 4Y and 20 months!! Can confirm it is all true!!!! Looking at his stand up just makes me laugh and brings smile when i do all my stuff with kids! Love it!
I laughed so hard when he spoke about 'Roman Day' because I did that to my mum, except it was Victorian costume. Remembered just after I'd been dropped off and rang from reception saying I needed a 'Victorian Costume asap', my mum rang back asking reception what asap meant and they pointed out it meant 'at the start of the day. My grandad heard the message and said they had to figure out how to do a Victorian costume because' it wouldn't be fair on me' (my mum didn't share this view but didn't want to argue) and so managed to run around different charity shops within the hour and bring it into school (mum was not best pleased with me). She probably would have been even less pleased if it was a Roman costume.
I have always maintained that side splitting humour is based in truth . This video is a perfect example of that fact . This video on the battle with kids to just get basics done is spot on and is hilariously funny because anyone who is a parent can fully and completely identify with what he so brilliantly describes . I have not had a good hearty laugh like this in a long long time . Thank you Michael McIntyre. I have many many times experienced all of these shenanigans that kids engage in . The "whose poo is this " made me spill my coffee all over myself while in fits of laughter . Great comedic skit , thank you so much , it made my day .
LMAO!! And that was the rosy and fun picture painting of having children. Truly he has only danced across the tip of the iceberg of daily dealings with children.
This is so real. Temper tantrums over the weirdest stuff, wee in front of the toilet ( I have a daughter) and I know she climbed on the kitchen counter to get the biscuits we made yesterday but couldn´t reach. So she settled for peanuts. I wondered who recycled in the wrong bin and what she meant by `I already had a peanutbutter jelly sandwich for breakfast´ cause we ran out of peanut butter
I can relate to all of this. Although I thankfully managed to fix the not flushing problem completely by accident. Did my business before a shower with the intent of flushing after said shower (old buildings, ya don't want a flush before/during a shower!) Kid came in to pee while I was mid-lather and they were rightfully disgusted. I responded "Now you know how others feel when we see yours in the toilet!" Hasn't been an issue since 😅
I remember when I was growing up, my mom always told me never to pray for patience, bc i wouldn't like how I got it....when i was grown, i asked her if her prayers for patience with me panned out...without missing a beat, she said "you're still alive,ain't you?"
I was that child that just did it on my own. I liked being clean so I enjoyed shower time and brushing teeth. I've always loves vegetables. I enjoyed going to bed and reading so i would go early and go to sleep. My parents still acted like I was so hard to raise though. But then my sister came around like a cyclone and I was so happy to see them truly suffer
The thing that gets me is when battling with kids can be a lot to handle. There are days when I have to use my military voice just so my son would just listen. I was never in the military but I grew up with a father who was and followed his principals. My son would often straighten up and finally do as I say. He knows mommy means business. Or taken by force. He knows he can't win when force is put upon him. I don't make threats, I make promises and take action. When he says no to brushing his teeth I would say "do you want mommy to do it for you?" That is when he knows that mommy means business and he will do it. He doesn't like me wrestling him holding his arm crossed and me brushing his teeth. He knows... He knows... Sometimes mommy can be scary but it gets the job done. 😁
My first two girls were difficult battle central, with me and by competing with each other, every waking minute all their lives.. but number three - she's exactly the perfect child, she totally says things like that! Haven't had to organise or motivate her once ever, she's amazing.. so there might be your solution? You need another!! 💙💙💙
LOL I realize more and more I was such an aberrant child! Taking baths and washing all the time without being asked (I love baths to this day and would often bathe to relax and clean daily), brushing my teeth without being asked, going to bed at a reasonable hour when I was tired (most nights, not all), BUT I have always been a picky eater. Still; I have always loved certain vegetables (like broccoli, green beans, Brussels sprouts, and sweet bell peppers). I would cause trouble about my food, in that I was picky about what I wanted and when and I despised soggy cereal, etc. But not all the other stuff! Also I actually would do lots of things to try to not cause my parents more trouble, and I rarely really cared what I wore. I did however dislike cleaning, and organizing my room which was a disaster area BUT I maintained I was the one who had to live in it so it's fine. Interesting to hear this as I am never having children so it's informative. I however would LOVE to tell children bedtime stories as an avid GM, and fantasy world-builder and writer! Funny comedian, overall good delivery and timing. energetic but still clear overall.
This is the best! Ive seen this soo many times. We now have a saying in our house when some springs something on you last minute its called "you just Roman dayed me" 🤣🤣🤣
