When she was growing up, Jennifer in New York says she always wanted a big brother. “Now that I have three children of my own,” she writes, “I thought I could live vicariously through my daughter, the middle child.” However, finding this “to-do list” on top of her eldest son’s homework has made her consider that vision. (God help this kid’s future crushes!)

well at least he shows initiative. I sure can’t plan that far in advance for most things

If he “steals her backback” on Friday, she should just steal the backbackback.

That is just superb. Totally and utterly brilliant.
And leaving it where she can find it too…
I mean Stewie Griffin?!!! Nothing on this kid!

If he’s old enough to be on Facebook (doesn’t look like it from the rest of the note, I’ll admit), he’s old enough that “Thursday” is a little creepy…

“MOnday: Talk about funny things about her on Facebook.”
Um, mom/submitter, are you aware that Facebook isn’t intended for children under 13?

….. This explains so much of my childhood.
(I assume Thursday isn’t “I’m going to see her hoohah ” but really more like giving her some snark about having to go to the bathroom. I hope.)

I always wanted a little sister to play with, but I didn’t realize they had to start as babies, so for years I hated my sister, and made her life as miserable as I could, to pay her back for not coming into the world at the age of 4. But I never made a to-do list. I just kinda flew by the seat of my pants.

The first Tuesday is just about as creepy as Thursday. I read the list before the blurb and thought it was an organised stalker boy with a crush and no AVO (Apprehended Violence Order, in Australia) yet….

Count me in on the “creeped out by Tuesday and Thursday” list. Not to mention pinching his sister’s butt is totally creepy too. Mom, have a talk with him about why this is NOT okay.

Way too orginized. My brothers (all 5) were capable of tormenting me on the fly.
And, um, pinching a girl’s bum? Really, mom? And what is he planning on doing once he sneaks under the piano while she’s practicing?

Twist: This list was actually written by the “sweet, innocent” middle daughter, and planted there to frame her big brother. (C’mon — what kid plots out his sibling-torturing in advance, much less stores the plan on top of his homework!?! This reeks of a setup.) Tuesday’s Child is an evil mastermind!

I hope Jennifer in New York is planning to have a little discush with her son. I find this whole thing creepy, not funny.

Really? There are people here who think that a kid pinching his sister’s butt is “creepy”? These children are obviously pre-teens. As any kid knows, butts are hilarious, pinching your sibling is fun, therefore pinching + butts = gold. If you think that there’s anything sexist or sexual in it than you’re waaay overthinking the motivations of a child.

Are you all kidding me? I can see how Thursday is slightly creepy, but the rest is kid’s stuff. I just thank God that my son has never been this organized in his many endeavors to torture his sisters. I think this is hilarious.

I’m in the middle with the butt thing.
1. I don’t think it’s intended to be sexual in any way
But
2. This kind of behaviour (as well as other things on the list) should be nipped in the bud. It might not be sexual, but respecting his sister’s personal space is important, and can lead to unhealthy attitudes to girls in the future if not dealt with. His sister, too, is learning about her role in the world and “someone who’s butt can be pinched without her permission” is perhaps something she shouldn’t have to learn.
Even without any element of sexuality, gender identity is still there.

It’s a giant over reactions to Tuesday and Thursday. Our mind goes straight to the “dirty” aspect of things cuz we’re older.
But as a child i would hit my siblings and cousins butts all the time. It was always to be annoying and silly. I’m a girl if don’t know if that makes a difference.
And anyone who grew up in a large family knows that as a child if you didn’t lock the door to the bathroom and someone came in its SUPER ANNOYING. When I would walk in on my sister they;d yell for me to at me to get out. Which of course I would but then to bother them, i’d open the door real quick again to get another reaction out of them and so on. One time i just left the door wide open and walked away leaving my sister terribly annoyed.
That’s just the silly stupid things you do as kids, get your minds out of the gutter.
The Facebook thing is odd and leaves me to think the sister was actually meant to find this. I doubt the child actually has a Facebook, but understands how “talking on Facebook” about his sister would irk her.

some of the replies on here are ridiculous, they’re kids, theres no “wrong intentions” in that list, theyre creepy because we’re adults and if we made that list of about a person of another gender, it would be creepy.
are you kidding me? kids are kids, theyll learn about boundaries and respecting others as time comes. do you assume your child is no going to intellectually evolve and stay stupid?
some of you parents are going to take the fun out of their life going over aboard with this crap.
yes a kid shouldnt be on Facebook so young, but their KIDS theyll get on there one way another. yes you should regulate them, but to restrict to the point of no freedom, is ridiculous, trust me that is going to affect your childs ambition.
some of you are crazy, seriously. either that or you guys are kids yourselves

“The butt is a private part that shouldn’t be touched without permission or for medical reasons. Spankings for really bad behavior aside, of course,..”
Uh, i think THAT comment is a bit creepy.
