I told them if they didn't send an officer the next call may be CPS. We have a great police force in town. DS is friends all them now. They use to warn me when he was doing wrong and it always made him mad when I would say "hey I hear you and so and so did such and such". He say how do you know? Gotta love those kids

I need to move to a town like that. As a divorced single mom of two teenaged daughters, it would make me feel better to have a little help watching over them.

I'm lucky, though. I do have good kids - so far. *knocking on wood and crossing fingers*

DS was (is) a good kid. Never really got in trouble. The police would let me know when he was running with some one that was in trouble or had a way of getting others in trouble. I really do love where we live

Apparently I'm selfish and not a good mother because I chose to have my babies in a safe environment with no doctors yanking on them and cutting us up.

And it's also apparently dangerous to sleep with your children, so that makes me a bad mother too. Lol.


Actually I think the worst thing I've done where I actually felt bad is that I forgot to put sunscreen on the girls when we were camping, and they got a mild sunburn. And lots of bug bites. Other than that, I'm really bad about getting up in the morning to change their diapers, so we have plenty of pee-soaked shirts in the laundry...and they fall on their heads a lot. Oops.

Well does it make me a bad Mom because I am missing the kids since they went back to school, MOSTLY BECAUSE I AM DOING ALL THE CHORES BY MYSELF.

^ Hahahahaha!

I cried the first (and so far the last) night my babies spent the night somewhere else. It was terrible. X3

 

[feather and mountain man]

Well I messed up again

We had 7 roosters up until Sunday all running loose and they were getting a bit agressive. Youngest boy was out with me working in the yard. When a roo decides to challenge him. He is 8yrs old and totally flipped out.

First I said in a calm but loud voice "don't run, charge him."

Son takes off running, trips once but kept going screaming the whole way.

"SON'S NAME" very loudly and somewhat angrivated "stop running." The roo still behind him

son jumps the ditch looses a shoe but keeps running. Ticked off cause he wont listen I yell "get your a$$ back hear right now."

son falls to the ground and is crying the roo has lost interest by now and gone away

I yell "get up and quit crying like a lil girl." Only to realize that my only daughter is now standing on the porch and goes stopping into the house.

Son gets up still crying and I say "come here right now."

He yells "I am going in the house

Me "Oh no your not, it's time to man up and face your fears"

realizing at this point I sound like my parents

He comes over pouting and acting afraid. I make him stay by me until a roo attacks and make him chase it. Then he gets the hang of it and starts chasing roos all over the yard.


Knowing that I totally lost my cool and went off the deep end Later I felt horrible for how mean I was to him and told him I was sorry and then appologized to my daughter and I don't think she is over it yet.


So there ya go and yes I know I will never be nominated for mother of the year.

I made both my kids go away after they turned 18, and they had to support themselves. They are both succeeding in life, and I am happy if I can visit with them like adults now.



Whispers.......
But I don't miss living with them. I had lot of fun with them as teenagers, and never had any problems with them. But my job was done.

I will never be nominated for Mother of the year

My kids let me know all the time that I am mean. They have to do chores, they have very limited tech time (video games, computer, ect) , they have to eat what I cook them, they are expected to be polite and get good grades, and they have to learn that actions have consequences. If they do something they know they are not supposed to do they get a spanking. When my twins see a kid throwing a tantrum they assume that the kid autistic, like their older brother, because normal people just don't act like that.

Sounds like a GOOD mom to me! Mine are the same way-not one of them has ever tried to throw a temper tantrum-because it was dealt with from the time they were little, and they know the consequences for behavior like that. They get on my nerves at times, and they can be naughty, but they are usually pretty well behaved.
