Today, at my four-year-old daughter's insistence, I looked for - and found - a radio station that plays "Santa music" all year round. She's ecstatic and I can't turn it off without upsetting her. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my neighbor installed a large radio that loudly plays Christmas music 24/7. When I called in a complaint to the police department they told me to, "get in the Christmas spirit." FML
Today, my little brother found the singing Santa Claus from last year, and it still works. I'm now going to be hearing nothing but "We WISH you a MERRY CHRISTMAS!" for the next 20 days. FML
Today, I saw my 4 year-old daughter singing and dancing, so I decided to sing along. As soon as I started singing she said, without blinking her eyes and super calmly, "Could you please stop doing that?" FML
Today, my 8-year-old daughter was throwing a tantrum, and I said "Keep this up and I'll tell Santa to take your presents back." She told me I don't even know Santa, at which point I accidentally blurted that I'm "Santa". FML
Today, my mom found her CD of cats and dogs singing Christmas songs. That is what I'll be listening to until Christmas. FML
Today, I came home to find my parents wearing Santa hats and blasting Christmas music at full volume. So begins three months of hell. FML
Today, I dressed up as Santa Claus for my employees' children. After seeing all the others, my daughter's turn arrived. She sat on my lap, put her lips to my ear, and whispered softly: "I want a new dad." FML
Today, my annoying and disrespectful roommate discovered Pandora. She also discovered that she can play Christmas music on Pandora. Only 23 more days until Christmas. FML
Today, I was on the phone with my friend, when my four year old nephew came in, asking who I was talking to. I told him it was Santa Claus, so he insisted on talking to him. I handed over the phone and I hear, "Santa is fake. Grow up." I spent the next two hours with a screaming child proving Santa exists. FML
Today, I took my daughter to see Santa at the mall. When I went to pick her up from Santa's lap, my watch snagged on his beard, pulling it off in front of my daughter and about twenty kids in line. My daughter still isn't speaking to me. FML

Don't let your kids become your boss, show your kid who's in charge. Or learn to love Santa music

That's when you throw the radio away and tell her you don't know what happened to it.

That might work, unless their radio happens to also be their computer...

That's true, I was also thinking about a car radio too. I guess it all has to go!

TSay someone robbed you, felt bad and was about to leave, noticed your radio playing Christmas music and realized you deserved it.

Or turn it off, no need to throw it out or lie about it. She'll forget about it soon enough.

Yes! She will get over it if you say no.

I don't think she will forget about it so easily. Four year olds can be stubborn. But, you shouldn't lie to her either. The best thing to do would be to tell her the truth - that kind of music makes you want to take all her toys back to the store and give all her future toys to charity. It always worked for me.

That's what I did when my niece would listen to her new Lady Gaga CD on repeat all day! Apparently, the thief in my neighborhood likes only radios and Lady Gaga CDs! lol

Or only let her listen for a certain amount of time and only if she behaves. Ask her to help put her toys away and put it on for 30 minutes. You are the parent here, a child whining shouldn't dictate what you decide to do.

Younger kids always have these obsessions phases. I remember my younger brother watched the Jimmy Neutron movie every day for about a month when he was five. She'll get tired of it soon. In the meantime, have fun.

Wait for the Christmas excitement to wear off and she really wont care anymore.

Yeah just like my little cousin, she's obsessed with despicable me and every time I go over to baby sit we watch it at least 3 times until my aunt comes home -.-

Tell her your the boss. It's that simple.

That didn't work so well with my mom.

Say you lost it again. Maybe switch to AM or something if she knows the station number.

I'd say chances are she'll grow out of it, that it's just a phase. But at the age of 4, you'll just have to wait for something else to catch her attention.

It's going to be a very long year.

Normally, I'd say you need to lighten up, but it's pass Chirstmas time. Why are radio stations still playing that kind of music?

Maybe she's using other radio services such as Internet radios. (one example is Pandora)
