The JOYS of Motherhood

Who ever said Motherhood was all JOY and LOVE and GOOD STUFF? Carol Brady? Mrs Cleaver? Claire Huckstable? Well, you are all phsyco Moms and it is a good thing you are living life on the TV! HA!

OK so today was the start of SPRING BREAK for my children. Should have known with the word "BREAK" in there that we'd be in for trouble! HA! Basically on day number one we had wars over helping Mom with the house. Mom says 'when do I get a spring break' the kids come back with smart ass replies and grunts and moans and Mom stomps out ticked off. Mom proceeds to clean the whole house herself all the while begrudging the evil children threatening to never fix them another meal as long as they live. War over? not yet. Mom then sulks in bedroom while kids continue to play with NO weight on thier fat little heads of any sort. Are children born with NO conscience? Geesh! So, Mom calls all children to the livingroom where she proceeds to explain how the sink gets full of dishes, the laundry pile grows and how meals show up warm on plates on the table. (oh, and how the taxi runs and so forth) THEN Mom explains how dishes get washed, clothes get folded, and meals get cooked. Kids get smart mouthed AGAIN and Mom gets mad AGAIN and so it goes. Finally as a last result Mom goes for the 'tender' side of the moment and ends up in tears and even more flustered than when she started, phone rings, Mom goes into hiding in the bedroom. KIDS SIT THERE!!! Apologies? No! Get busy? NO! ANYTHING???? ANY SIGN THAT THEY GIVE A FLYING CRAP ABOUT THIER MOTHER?? uhhhh no. Sure makes a Mom want to do anything for anyone egh?

Was finally able to draaagggg a few minutes of help from the kids. Still upset, still angry, still hurt. Cannot believe they just don't care. *sigh* Guess they will think twice next time they can't find a clean sock or need a ride somewhere? ack!
