Instructions not included

All the people who create packaging for toys are on my $#!+ list.  Do none of these people have children?  

Surely they cannot.  Otherwise, I would not spend 25 minutes with an impatient child crawling all over me while I try to extricate ONE toy from it's packaging.  I almost want to throw my hands up and walk away if the toy has multiple pieces.

My 15-month-old has very little patience and a very short attention span (wonder where he got that).  We (yes, we) had a full-on melt down over an Elmo guitar yesterday because it took too long to get it out of the package (the melt down continued every, single time you tried to replace the guitar with an unopened present for him to unwrap.  Moral?  Don't skip nap time).

It seems like the devices employed to harness these toys in their cardboard boxes are becoming more and more difficult to remove.  Is it really necessary for me to need scissors and a screwdriver to get a Barbie out of a box?

Last night my father-in-law kept telling my husband to "look at the instructions" before he had even removed a toy from its package.  Michael's reply?  "Dad, they don't make instructions for how to get it out of the box."  

Well, maybe they freaking should.  Maybe they freaking should.
