What's Up With The Tooth Fairy?
With child #1 she was flawless! Never forgot a payment for a tooth, including 12 year old molars. By child #8, she got so forgetful. This 8th child now has to ask us, almost with every tooth, "Can YOU please remind the tooth fairy about that tooth that has been under my pillow for 3 days?"

LOL. I only had one child and I still forgot.
ReplyDeleteThere are definitely benefits to being the first or second child! haha
ReplyDeletesame story here. but she started getting forgetful at child #3. maybe that's why I stopped?
ReplyDeleteI forgot with my first and then just started buying the teeth off the kids, I am sure teeth and vacuum cleaners don't get along. Number 5 doesn't even know what a tooth fairy is. I am ok with that...
ReplyDeleteAll of these comments are funny. Sounds like the Tooth Fairy has gotten terribly unreliable since my kids were little. I never forgot but then I only had two kids. If I had 8 I would have had the fairy disappear and tell the kids he met with a tragic accident. Yeh, I know, not the best way to handle it...we can all be thankful that I only had 2.
ReplyDeleteFrom the mouths of babes!
ReplyDeleteMaybe the Tooth Fairy is getting long in the Tooth??.
ReplyDeleteEven tooth fairies need gentle reminders from time to time...
ReplyDeleteHaha I love it!

Very funny. The 8th will be all the better for it. It's good to learn early how to ask for what you want.
ReplyDeleteI know - with that first child everything is such a big deal. By the time you get down the line a bit, it's like "Meh..." because you're TIRED. And also the tooth fairy has gotten expensive. I remember getting a nickel or a dime. My kids were getting $1-$2 per tooth. I can only imagine what they're getting now!
ReplyDeletehaha...yet another reason i have stopped at 2 kids...smiles.
ReplyDeleteI think my kids have just about given up on their parents remembering about the tooth fairy!
ReplyDeleteThat happened with ours too and we only had four.
ReplyDeleteSeriously, I got to where I was telling the boys it was because the tooth fairy was a blond....and had a drinking problem. Then she got arrested for fighting with Tinkerbell...
ReplyDeleteLeave it to me to criminalize a child icon to save my own skin.
I am LOL
DeleteWe had the same situation this week. She didn't remember to come until the 3rd night the tooth was under her pillow. By that time, my daughter forgot to look!
ReplyDeleteThank goodness it's not just me!
ReplyDeleteMy youngest hasn't lost any teeth yet, but w/my daughter I've forgotten twice...which led to the discovery that Mom's really the tooth fair, lolol. Maybe I'll have HER be the tooth fairy...nothing like delegating authority, yes? :)
Ha! I guess the Tooth Fairy is getting older just like the rest of us. ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm getting an image of a very tired, overworked tooth fairy.
ReplyDeleteThis makes me think of photos, too. You have tons of photos of the first baby, then as you have more, the photo taking gets less and less. At least it did for us. Then the youngest kid asks, why are there hardly any pictures of me? (and I can't imagine it with 8)
Can sooooooo relate to this!!
ReplyDeleteLOL! Same here, too! Tooth Fairy: "So many teeth, so little time!!
ReplyDeleteLOL! Maybe it's easier to forget since the tooth fairy has to pay so much more these days.
ReplyDeleteAs always, you make me laugh! The tooth fairy forgot my daughter's tooth one night--at least my daughter slept in the next morning so that she had time to come back for it!
ReplyDeleteLOL!!
ReplyDeleteand not to mention the cost of living raise she has gotten over the years...that's what doesn't seem quite fair to me!
ReplyDeleteWell I only have one child and after she turned 10 it was a little harder for the tooth fairy to remember and a little harder for her to get into my daughters room without fearing she would wake up.And our tooth fairy thought it would be a great idea to leave a note too!!Brilliant!

LOL... I don't know what is up with the Tooth Fairy, but she seemed to experience the same problem when our last child (10-years younger than the oldest) lost her teeth.
ReplyDeleteI'm just glad that our fairy only had to come up with 25 to 50-cents... nowadays my grands get $5... now that's inflation!!
I finally gave up on the Tooth Fairy. She was inconsistent at best. I think she actually died.
ReplyDeleteBad Mom!!
ReplyDeleteIt got to the point where if my kids lost a tooth I just handed them a buck. I mean they knew...so there was no sneaking around and my mommy forgetfulness.
ReplyDeleteI just assumed it was a Canadian problem. It is hard for her to carry all those loonies and toonies around. But if in your land of paper money she is still having trouble,then I think we need an internationasl symposium.
ReplyDeleteWow. It took yours til child #8? Ours started forgetting around child #2.
ReplyDeletedon't feel to bad...my sis has one kid and still forgets...lol
ReplyDeleteAaaaw. Poor child no. 8. Bad, bad tooth fairy. It makes a wonderful story. :)
ReplyDeleteLol! That was funny!
ReplyDeleteKids charge way too much for a tooth these days anyway! Really funny post!
ReplyDeleteLOL...been there done that....
ReplyDeleteOh how funny:) I just read it to my Daughter, we both had a big laugh! Have a blessed evening, HUGS!
ReplyDeleteFirstborns are under a lot of pressure...much more so than any child born after them. They deserve a flawless tooth fairy!
ReplyDeleteOops! However the last born get their advantages too. I'm the oldest and watched how my youngest brother was treated.
ReplyDeleteAs long as Santa doesn't forget to come.....you should be alright.
ReplyDeleteLOL!!! The tooth fairy fell asleep at our house once!! Shame on her/him!!! :)
ReplyDeleteMakes me feel so much better! The first time it happened we were so sad and felt like the worst parents ever....but so many reassured us that it happened often. Whew!
ReplyDeleteHahah! Aww! Thanks for linking up with us!
ReplyDeleteBlame it on a poor economy and cutbacks in tooth fairy land.
ReplyDeleteAww... bless their heart! :) Too cute!
ReplyDeleteI'm on child 1 and the tooth fairy has has a few "busy nights" where she wasn't able to make it! :/ Annnnnd we just lost a tooth, at 10:15PM .... UGH!
ReplyDeleteI had half the number of children as you and yes, the last one got gypped sometimes. However, being the last child has many advantages and according to her older siblings, got so much more then them. She also got away with much more because we were older and worn down.
ReplyDeleteLOL. At least the tooth fairy finally came right?
ReplyDeleteDanielle
My wife is the baby in her family and her Dad told me that by the time she came along they just gave up, that's why she is so spoiled but yet no tooth fairy money Ha Ha
ReplyDeleteOh oh, fancy forgetting to remind the tooth fairy!! :))
ReplyDeleteOhhh, I did that... By day #3 my son looked so heartbroken and I felt like the worst mother on the planet. Glad to hear I'm not the only one! Thanks for following me, I am now following you back :)
ReplyDeleteKristina
Hee Hee, know the situation well! I also saved all my kid's baby teeth and have a boxful now that I can't get rid of, but what do I do with them? Make them into a necklace! (mind you, you could have matching earrings, bracelet etc etc!) xxx
ReplyDeleteInflation isn't just limited to humans, where the tooth fairy left a small silver sixpence for my kids, she now has to leave a brand new £2 coin for the grandkids.
ReplyDeleteYou can never get away with it from kids, especially not with something that they know is really theirs!
ReplyDeletelol. As my children got older they used to say, we know it's you, can't you just give us the money...lol
ReplyDeleteI guess we have to remind that old toothe fairy.lol
ReplyDeleteLOL.....guess the replacement Toothfairy have been slacking
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of the toothfairy...she's about to have to get to work at our house because when I took Jake to the dentist yesterday, they found two of the bottom that have started to wiggle. :)
ReplyDeleteHaha, I remember my parents totally forgetting with me too. And I was only the second child . . .
ReplyDeleteOur forgetful tooth fairy has had to leave apology notes a few times....I'm glad I'm not the only one!
ReplyDeleteHilarious! I'm posting my own tooth fairy story soon - it kind of worked in reverse (Jack wanted to KEEP his tooth and asked the Tooth Fairy NOT to come).
ReplyDeleteThe tooth fairy is getting tired!
ReplyDeleteLOL the tooth fairy is getting forgetful is she
ReplyDeleteI was so much more diligent with my first kid, too. It kind of went downhill fast after him.
ReplyDeleteLOL yeah I am that way and I only have 2 that the tooth fairy visits. Following you from Mom's Point of View.
ReplyDeleteHaha! Funny how that works, isn't it? ;)
ReplyDeleteOur Tooth Fairy had rules--that changed often. She doesn't work on Tuesday, Weekends off, Columbus Day etc., etc. Kids bought it everytime. The tooth fairy is magical after all.
ReplyDeleteOh! :))
ReplyDeleteI've had to be reminded a few times!
LOL- so funny!
ReplyDeleteThe same thing happened in our house.
ReplyDeletelol. hope the fairy pays well for the delay.
ReplyDeleteHaha, I love it! :)
ReplyDeleteSounds disturbingly familiar...
ReplyDelete;)
Oh Gosh, we did this too. Forgot! Then, one year, I wrote my son a letter from the "fairy" and explained that I had been so busy lately...many teeth were lost, and I was flying all over the world, but here's an extra quarter. He loved it!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh the tooth fairy has the same problem at our house. Child one went soooo smoothly, then number two we did pretty well. Now on number three it can be days before the tooth fairy gets to his pillow. He looks patiently every morning hoping that the fairy remembered. When number four starts loosing hers I don't know what the tooth fairies going to do?
