I’m ashamed to say I go behind my kids and clean up their messes, physically and literally, more than I should. And this has nothing to do with trying to baby them, or because I feel bad about what lies ahead when Dad gets home. He’s going to be harder on them than I would. It is honestly because there are times I just don’t have the energy or sanity to jump on the crazy train. I just cannot listen to my husband come to the same revelation he’s already come to 100 times before. The SAME revelation that I came to when I first started teaching 25 years ago.
JAA-mE!!! Southern Louisiana dialect. If you know Jersey Shore, then you know it.
JAA-mE!!! has to yell it 2 times or it loses its effectiveness. 😏
Can you believe this???
Believe what, babe?
OUR KIDS!!! He’s a big guy, so he needs all caps. 😉
What do you mean? Obviously, I KNOW what he means.
THEY. DON’T. LISTEN!!!
Oh… I KNOW… they DON’T, do they? They NEVER have.
I MEAN… WHY CANT THEY JUST DO WHAT WE ASK THEM TO THE FIRST TIME? ONE TIME… WE SHOULD ONLY HAVE TO TELL THEM ONCE!!! 😡 He’s not the teacher in the family, for obvious reason. I just have to laugh when he expects them to listen the first time. Nooo kid listens the first time! I mean, there might be some? 🤷♀️ And if there are, I’m willing to trade at least for a long weekend!
You’re right. You’re sooo right. It’s ridiculous! Please be over, please be over, please-🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
JAA-mE!!! Are you listening to me?
Of course not! I’m listening! I agree! Hell no I’m not listening! I don’t need to listen. I have it memorized! It’s like Groundhog Day. 🤦♀️
Then, blah, blah, blah, swear, swear, swear, and before you know it, they’ve lost their electronics until the next Ice Age.
I love the man, but he doesn’t always use logical reasoning, especially if he’s hot under the collar.
Electronics, bikes, tv, the car, friends, their bedroom, are gone…indefinitely… and now I’M a middle-aged prisoner in my own home! I’m a MAP… not to be confused with a MILF! I’m just a fucking MAP! 🤦♀️
JAA-mE!!! Last time for affect. ☺️ What are YOU going to do about THIS???
What am I going to do about this? Hmmm… let me think? 🧐 This is what I’m going to do about this…NOTHING! There will be nothing to do about this because there won’t be a “this” to do anything about! Because I’m going to clean it up before YOU get home!
I’m not always going to go behind them and clean everything up, but sometimes I need to for the sake of sanity! There is no way in hell I’m letting my son’s PlayStation be taken away when he’s only two days in after a three month loss! Not happening! I choose sanity-
You will put up with them until they move out and.,…….Then you will try working on Roy 😩. Don’t be believing this will work😩😩😩 it is just the way it works 🤗😘🤗. Love you💕❤️💕
I absolutely agree !!
Thank you! This makes my heart happy! ☺️
