With four kids of my own, I used to do the dental cleanings like you do. All in a row on the same day. It made me crazy, so I started them one at a time, one a week.

I know, it sounds crazy, but in the long run, it was much calmer and the other kids didn’t distract the hygienist or the kid being worked on. Now that they are teens, I am back to the one day and back to back appointments.

We are all faced with Mr. and Miss Hissies all the time and you demonstrated the best way to handle it. I’m amazed, though, by your sub-theme on how to organize six for dental visits. !!!

I like to remind people like that that they’re hired by me… and that I can take my business elsewhere. Drives them crazy.

Sounds like Miss Hissy likes to do things in haste and repent in leisure. And not listen much but talk a lot. I hope you made your next appointment for a Tuesday!
Definitely got that switched.

Please tell me that you didn’t really mean to start this dental-related post with “Here’s the drill…”

I never even saw that until you mentioned it, Green! Ha!! You are clever to catch that!

I've had some dental appointments that make me wish I'd had a bong session before heading out the door. This made me giggle and sigh with recognition. The dentist has all kinds of fraught connotations for me mostly having to do with the feeling that we are being fleeced each and every time we walk in the door. If I had four boys to unleash on them, I'd happily let the chaos roll.
Oh yeah! We unleash in there... that's for sure. I figure we've earned it.

It’s amazing to me that she couldn’t see how she treated you and then told you about her own time-management problem. (even though you weren’t late)

Some people. Sheesh.
