My kids are driving me flipping crazy! Yeah, yeah I love them but... I am sick of sharing with them! I am sick of their laziness and in a surprising twist (seeing as how I just said I am sick of sharing with them) I am sick of their selfishness! In a nutshell, I am sick of teenagers!
I have two of the little lovely darlings (hey, I have this blog for a reason! So that I can release some steam in a healthy fashion. So, allow me to continue.) to tell the truth, they just don't seem so lovely lately. Both of them could live in a pigstye and be just fine with it. They can wait until there is not a single freaking utensil in the house and then just wash the one fork they might need. They can and do sit on their ass all day long and then have the nerve to act tired when I get home from a 12 hour day! Today I am so sick of both of them that I don't even have it in me to yell. I just sighed when I walked in the door (the loud kind of sigh that says I am disgusted). This did not deter the little angels, they just went straight for the food that I brought in, after of course they washed the one utensil they would need for it.
Everyday that I come in I have to hunt my laptop down, after a million times of saying leave it in the kitchen. I am so tempted to take it to work with me for the next month just so they can't use it. I have been sharing with these people ever since they were born. Let me count the ways...I am a germaphobe so I was never a parent that would share a drink with them when they were little, if they wanted a drink then my drink became theirs. Same goes for food. And of course like every parent I have sacrificed what I wanted or needed to make sure they got what they wanted or needed. I sacrificed time to watch the most horrible school productions you have ever lived through. I put up with people I hated because they liked them. And mind you, I have done all of this with love in my heart. But dammit today I have had my fill!
I want something that they cannot touch, something that is just mine. To this day my daughter takes my blow dryer (not that I use it much but its the principle). Clothes, computer, shampoo etc. I know it all sounds so damn petty and I suppose it is.
Maybe it wouldn't seem so bad if they would just clean the goddamn kitchen without having to be told or acting like it was a punishment worse then death!
Ok, I think I feel well enough to go yell about the kitchen now. Come to think of it, I want the floors mopped too!

They don't touch BOB right? There you go, your one thing that is yours alone. If you only weren't so tired to enjoy it. :)
ReplyDeleteI know they are frustrating at their age. But they should return to school soon and hopefully that will open up some quality time for yourself . . . which is sounds like you need.
