Additional features

So it seems my children are born with a few extra features thrown in.

DS has:
- Altitude sensor. When parent goes from standing to sitting, baby will go from calm and almost asleep to cranky pants
- Housework motivation sensor. Whenever Mum feels that the house must be tidied and she actually has the will and energy to do it, baby will demand cluster feeding
- Not Mum's Bed/Arms sensor. Baby will seem close to snoring in parents bed or arms, but put anywhere else will be wide awake in seconds

DD has:
- Inappropriate Toilet Time sensor. If Mum is cooking a complex meal that can't be left, dealing with a poosplosion or upset feeding baby, toddler will need the toilet RIGHT NOW MUMMY!
- Baby Has Just Gone To Sleep After Fussing For Far Too Long sensor. When the baby is finally asleep, and actually stayed asleep when put in a bed, this is obviously the best time to play the noises game the toddler knows or demand food very very loudly

What additional extras have your kids got?

All three of mine came standard with the Phone Sensor. I think lots of kids have this one. Kids will be playing happily, quietly, watching tv, eating nicely... Soon as the phone rings, or I start to dial, someone does something resulting in screaming and tantrums and crying.

yep, mine has the Phone Sensor... to think some people pay extra for features ;)

Yep mine have the phone sensor, today they were outside playing as soon as I picked up the phone all three came in front of me and went nuts I had to lock myself out the front!

They also come with a lets annoy mum on the loo option.

Mine have an annoying voice pitch module. It activates automatically in small spaces (like the loungeroom).

DD1 got the growth of a thousand children feature lol. There must be lots of tiny kids out there that missed out.
DS and DD2 got the ultra-magnetic dirt feature. I see messy kids out and about, but mine, no matter how clean they might have been thirty seconds ago, can be guaranteed to be filthy...it's embarrassing sometimes.
The gir;s also got the super human ability to eat - like teenage boys I swear....

Yes to the phone sensor!

Mine have a shower sensor too: as soon as I step in someone needs a bum wiped or smashes something.

Both have come with must-eat-constantly features too!

Mine has a Hot Tea Sensor and alert system. He's been protecting me from possibly burning my tongue.

my oldest comes with "bladder synchronization" = the second I go to use the toilet, she needs it, and then will faff around till I give up and go to the other toilet, which results in a tantrum cos now SHE needs that toilet too!

My DS was born with the no fear plugin. This feature comes with the early wandering feature. And the scale tall structures feature.

All these features come with the "grey hair" mod for the user. It is automatically applied

Here we have hollow legs syndrome, he eats as much as me now, how will I afford to keep him fed as a teenager.

Also dinner cuddles feature, must have cuddles while mummy is cooking or tantrums ensue

Mine has built in mouth spa, bubbles turn on towards the end of a meal resulting in mum dad or anyone or anything with a 1 metre radius being sprayed with food filled bubbles.

Mine come with the long sleep/short sleep alternator. Long sleeps when we have plans and need to be somewhere, short sleeps when we are home all day.

DD (and DS as a little baby) also come with the MumsHeadTouchedHerPillowSensor and will wake as soon as I lie in bed, no matter if I'm having an early or late night. I swear a freaking alarm goes off.....

My DD has the disrupt favourite music feature- guarantee that she can be sitting next to me quietly but as soon as a song comes on that I really like & want to listen too that is when she decides she wants to tell me all the important stuff from her day. Also works when listening to important news broadcasts.

DS 2 has the whine plugin. Automatically activated whenever something important for mum happens. Or right when we need to go somewhere.

It also automatically activated the wine sensor - ie mum gets wine for the whine :)

Ah, my brothers both came with similar features - the Mum'sButtTouchedTheCouch and Mum'sHandTouchedHerFork Sensors.

DD seems to have been installed with Mum'sNotWatching - as soon as my eyes are off her she's up to something that soon requires help. She's also recently acquired the LetsRipThePaperOffAllTheCrayons add-on, which seems to be uninstallable...

DD2 comes preprogrammed with MumCantMoveOutOfMySight sensors.

This esp includes when she is asleep and I cannot move. Just like last night i had the runs and had to run to the toilet. As soon as i got out of bed (even though dd2 is in deep sleep) her alarm goes off.

Sorry dd2 but mummy had to go otherwise the bed would have been messy!!!
