No. Seriously.
You don't own one? It's like the Easy button. . . only better. And I've found it comes in especially handy when dealing with college-aged daughters.
Listen.

Trigger: Mom!
Me: What?
Trigger: Are you really coming to visit me next week?
Me: Yes.
Trigger: When are you coming?
Me: Thursday. And leaving on Friday.
Trigger: Great! Just in time. I need you to bring me a long white dress for my induction into the sorority on Saturday night. It has to be very conservative . . . nothing strapless or see-through. . . .you know. . . very lady like. I don't care what else you do, you have to go to The Mall and find a dress for me and bring it with you.
Me:
or how about this one. . .
Trigger: Mom!
Me: Yes?
Trigger: Didn't you put more flex dollars on my student card?
Me: No. I told you last time you asked. The money I put on your card at the beginning of the school year was IT for the semester. If you need more flex dollars, you can transfer them from your own bank account.
Trigger: But Mom! You know I don't even know how to do stuff like that. You're the one who's supposed to do it for me. Every one else's parents do!
Me:
Now, THAT was easy!

Hi friend, peace...
Your blog very interesting.
If you willing visit my blog, and read my article at http://sosiologidakwah.blogspot.com
And... if you love books, read The Holy Qur'an please...
hahaha! love that ignore button! I have one of those and hit it often!
I definitely need one of those!
I love the "everyone else's parents do..." comments.
Now my own mother is telling me how "everyone else's grown children," visit more, send gifts, and are just all around better grown children. *sigh* At this age, we get it from all sides, no?
So, can I get 2 "Ignore buttons/"
PLEASE?
Now that would have come in real handy when the daughter calls for the credit card number for Taylor Swift concert tickets, cuz "she's coming to town and it's like only like 5 minutes from campus"
Yep, I need me one of those!
I feel your pain. My blood pressure went up just reading that. Takes me back to all the frenzied running around that I've done for my kids - and the oldest is just 13!
Figure out a way to market that button in real life and you will never have to worry about money again!!!!!
YES! I'd love an ignore button....and I'm happy to see you using one too!
Can I have one of those?
And I'm not even gonna tell you how old my kid is.
HA! Sounds like you have the parenting thing down.
Where do I get an ignore button?!
I'll trade you my easy button, a ten-year-old boy and two teenage daughters for one ignore button.
Deal?
You could make an awful lot of money making one of those buttons...just in time for Christmas break!
My mother definitely had one of those buttons. She'd just tape the thing down during football season.
Where did you say I could buy this button????
Exactly why I turn off my cell phone for hours a time. Let them figure things out for themselves...
LOL ... I need an ignore button too. It does work on husbands too, correct?
Trigger, if you can wear a thong, you can handle your own flex account. I LOVE the 'ignore' picture you chose. Donna Reed?
Oh! Can I get a 'don't care' button?
Aahahaha. That's awesome.
My daughter is only nine but I think I can start putting in a little practice for her teenage years now!

Oh yes, my favorite "ignore" button. How would we survive motherhood without it?
I actually just found your blog recently and wanted to say that I enjoy your writing and love your blog name and the statement underneathe it...it really does take a special woman to launder her daughter's thong!
Oh, I LIKE that approach!
I don't think she'd have such a pained look on her face, though....possibly considerably happier!!
Good idea. Raising kids is a tough job and it never ends. Come visit me and read my blog about God's Cruel Joke...you will enjoy it.
