Bad, bad mommy
Ok internets… I am not always the well-balanced, loving, thoughtful mommy that I make myself out to be! Neither are you, right? Right?
I am excellent at fun, seriously, I will be a kid over a grownup any day, I love sidewalk chalk, paint, stickers, markers, I am usually game for anything, however, when it comes to cleaning up the mess, or the kids, I usually, kinda, umm, don’t. The mousehunter loves this aspect of me!
So, you know how my kids were sick, well, umm, I don’t always remember to give them their medication on time, and when I say “always”, I really mean “ever”! I know, I know! My husband usually has to call from work to remind me to medicate them!
I allow them to play with plastic butter knives, you know, so they can pretend they are sword fighting, or whatever else it is that they do with them, I honestly don’t know, but they do enjoy it and they ask for them every single day…they have never gotten hurt though!
You know things like, feeding the kids, and umm, giving baths, and brushing teeth, and homework, and other such, chores, yeah, well, I am not good with those, I mean, I obviously do them, but I can’t say that I excel at those things, and when I say “excel”, I really mean that I do a very “half-assed” job!
My biggest problem though, has to be my inability to fold and pack away laundry! I kid you not! I think it goes against my very nature to handle laundry!! Currently, the kids’ room is completely covered in clothing, it’s so bad that my kids learned to “dig” through the pile to find clothes for themselves!
And before I totally discount myself as a good mother, I will stop.
