That’s . . . very odd, and perhaps uncomfortably androgynous. I’m not at all impressed. I may even be a little disturbed.

Too late brother we need to fight back lol

I always ask before I arrive if there are any elves linger in the house. but keeping track of all the animals and babies will be difficult. i always assign them north pole numbers . easy to remember

Enough with the elves! 😉

WHAT?!?!?!  NOOOOOOOOOOOO...

Haven't they made enough money already?  I guess the babies will be doing bad things, too!

Sadly, that’s a point I’d never even considered. Getting an “adult” elf on the shelf to sit or stand in inappropriate ways, with inappropriate gestures, and so forth, are shocking and really prove the point to me that some people shouldn’t have children. If an adult could think to make these “baby” elves (or even the animals) do the same sort of things, then maybe that person shouldn’t even be around children.

Well (sigh).....it could be worse.

Or maybe we could go back to belts on a shelf

In the beginning the elf was a cute idea, then they added pets and then made kits for the elves to show up for birthdays, and parents were not reading and finding out what the original concept was.  It seems the creators gave up on the original concept as well and have made it a total exploitation trying to get more dollars.  I am really not interested in this whole elf thing now. But now we have to figure out how to get around it.

I agree. Seems like now, the elves only do bad things and kids ask Santa why this is acceptable, and does this occur at the North Pole?

The real sad part about this is the parents are the ones who determine what the elves do.  In the past when children tell me the elves are acting up I have suggested that it may be because they are behaving like the children.  I don’t know anymore though about how I will handle this. It’s all improv and staying in character.  Importantantly though most of the time the elves are on their best behavior at the North Pole.

I believe this HAS come up in years past here. I have had friends ask me WHAT CAN I DO? I'm RUNNING OUT OF IDEAS & IT'S GETTING MESSY! So I have "helped" in the past by telling the parents when I get to the home; ASK ABOUT THE SHENANIGANS! ASK HOW TO MAKE IT STOP. When this happens, I ask, WELL WHO'S CLEANING IT UP?

• The children usually say: Mom, or Dad
• I then say: This is unexpectable behavior, and I'll remove him/her RIGHT NOW and take him/her HOME WITH ME & a NEW ONE WILL BE ON THE KITCHEN TABLE tomorrow morning and NO MORE MESSING AROUND!!! 
• If they say YES, I take it and get it back to Mom or Dad B/4 I leave or it's outside the house when I leave.
• If they say NO but can you warn him/her, I give the elf a stern warning and tell the elf I better hear that tomorrow kitchen table and nothing out of place, & then Monday front room & so on. Always telling the elf I WILL REPLACE YOU in a heartbeat, I NEED GOOD to GREAT examples, NOT THE MISCHIEF ELF doing what the children CAN'T EVEN DO!!!
• I've heard this has helped stop it all and the parents know where to "hide the elf" for the next few days, no more TP all over the house, OUTSIDE all over the cars and or the Christmas lights outside are now inside??????

It's crazy the stories I've heard because of this crazy elf!

Last season, as a result of all the negative/naughty escapades of the Elfs on Shelves, I told the children that I had arranged a weekly meeting of all the EONS's and any elf that had been naughty was to remain at the North Pole on reindeer poop cleaning duties.

I did receive a few messages re Elf behavior improvement

[Trever]

I do not like the whole idea of Elf on a shelf. Never have, never will.  

 

[Sundblom Santa]

To be quite frank, I abhor the little pest and absolutely refuse to engage parents on the issue. Not my circus, not my monkeys. I’ll take a hard pass, thank you very much. The characters we create are supposed to be role models for children.

Could you see that, instead of sneak peeks, Santa's caught taking down the shelves Christmas Even! Like he doesn't have enough to do because of those little critters!

Schwindy, you asked for it . . .

Santa gets his little red toolbox out and starts removing the shelves.

Little Jimmy: “What are you doing, Santa?”

Santa: “I’m removing the shelf—as if I don’t already have enough to do tonight—and taking little, uh  . . . whatever his name is . . . with me.”

Little Jimmy: “But Santa—“

Santa (gets down on one knee): “Listen, my dear little Bobby—“

Little Jimmy: “My name is Jimmy.”

Santa (stares right into the camera, exasperated, and sighs): “Whatever.”

Santa sighs once more, gets up, walks back to the chimney, slings the bag over his shoulder, and knows it’s going to be a long, rough night.

When he finally gets done—thousands of shelves down and angry elves tied up in his bag (those naughty elves will go back to working on the assembly line only after doing a stint in jail)—he turns up Twisted Sister’s Christmas album and smiles as the lights from the castle come into view.

Perhaps we can take additional elves and remodel the house for the family

At what point do we go too far, Elf's on the shelf pets and babys is much too much. Getting hader and harder to answer childrens questions, what's my Elfs name, what are it's babys names, what kind of pet does my Elf have? Maybe possible to have some fun, but I'm going to make up "Elf language" just so I can say " Oh I don't know what you call them in your words, but back up north he, she, or it's name is Hans or Elsa" or something else that sounds like a North Pole name. Good Luck and stay well.
