1. Kids should be seen and not heard.

2. Anyone who hates kids and dogs can’t be all bad.

My mom’s been living with me for the last six months – I have nothing to complain about

Kids are notoriously self absorbed. They probably don’t notice you are in a bad mood because they think you should be doing things for them all day anyway. Your mood is irrelevant. At least, that’s how my kids think.

Because I knew my grandma and my mom so well, I used to push their buttons every day on purpose and drove them nuts. It tickled me.

Been there too many times!

Next time you’re feeling like that, call me. Chances are really good I’ll be feeling that way too, and we can go out together and drown our miseries in a double martini.

That was me on Saturday. Everyone knows their chores yet they sit there like duh all day playing video games. I know words come out of my mouth to remind them because I hear myself say them. And they know those words get louder and louder when they don’t listen, but they still can’t pry their arses off the couch.

They don’t get when I specifically use “their” name and tell them they need to do xyz now it means that I mean THEM. I don’t care if the other kid normally does it, if I tell YOU, I mean YOU. They don’t get that.

Anastasia had a chat with both of them yesterday because I was having meltdowns all day. And yes, I was a bit more fragile yesterday being what day it was, but did they care? Nope. Today they started out with their arses on the couch again and I told them flat out they will not leave the house and I will not cook any meals until ALL the chores I assigned Saturday were done. For the most part it got done, except for 1 lone pot in the kitchen. I guess that’s their little way of showing me!

Yeah, why is it easier to train dogs and cats than kids? Our dog would jump over backwards just to hear a “good boy” and get a pat on the head. Kids think their parents are there to cook, clean, nd drive them around, sigh…

This may make your mood worse, but I gave you the Marie Antoinette award on my blog (did I hear a groan?). You may be having a foul day, but at least you’re not going to lose your head, LOL.

No apologies! We all go through this!

I think once the kids become parents themselves, they learn to appreciate us more. I’ve seen this happen with my oldest DD26, now that she has her own children!
