Mom & Kid Fighting
Kid: Your rules are just stupid. They serve no purpose!
Mom: Your opinion. Live by them in my house.
Kid: Fine, I'm leaving. (packs bag and goes to friends)
Mom: Fine, see ya. Don't expect me to do anything for you.
(kid returns after school next day)
Kid: Mom, can you let me know when you have some time.
Mom: Time? *laughs* No such thing in my life. For what?
Kid: I need you to help me with my resume.
Mom: Fine. Spell check it and then call me.
Kid walks away.
Moral: We may hate what you do to screw up your life but us Mom's are always there when you need us. Our rules help you learn to be adults. You don't have to like them or agree with them. Save us all the trouble of arguing, just do it. You will have to grow up sometime.
Oh I so agree, now if I can just get my 24 year old to stop acting like a 16 year old again lol
ReplyDeleteYour love and discipline was totally awesome. I wish more parents were like you.
ReplyDeleteGina, you know in your heart you're doing the right thing and that's what counts. It's tough being a single Mom dealing with boys, but you're giving him some very valuable life lessons. One day he'll have a brain fart and realize it too.
ReplyDeleteI think the happiest day in my Dad's life was when he heard me telling my Son a story he'd told me as a child. It was a story about what it meant to be a man. I didn't appreciate the story at the time, because it came following a right jab to my chest( I'd been mouthing off to my Mother so I deserved the punch ), but it was a story/lesson that I never forgot.
I hoping that when my Son has children( a long time from now )passes the lesson on to his son.
