Anyone else's fingers bleeding from untieing all of those metal twisties

on the kids gifts. With two under four I think I undid about 1000. I hate those things!

1. Every damn year.

I hate them with a passion.

2. Next it will be removing super-glue

I don't understand why they need so many ties, strings, plastic attachments and tape on each item!! Even ones that are thoroughly boxed in from the outside! It's so frustrating.

3. parent proofing

I am convinced that those that design the packaging are determined to see how much a parent can take before the lose their mind.

4. Twist ties

What you said.

[Sabriel]

5. Break out the needle-nosed pliers and snip those suckers

I haven't untwisted for two years. I'm twist-free!

Happy New Year (let's hope....)
