I love my kids to pieces but days like this make me really wonder what my life is going to be like for the next 16 years or so.
Why can't they get along? Why can't they fulfill my unrealistic ideas i had when i was pregnant with the oldest? I had dreams of a TV free living room, a beautiful clutter free home, family photos on the walls where we are all smiling... instead, there isn't a moment in my day when i dont slightly depend on the tv to assist in distracting one of my kids, my house, LOL! lets not get into that one, family photos? do we count the ones i take with my webcam where everyone except me is topless? no? dang. SOL on that one too!
I realize life isn't perfect with kids, i never wanted it to be. Can i have a day without tylenol? Can I have fancy art instead of marker master pieces on my walls? *sigh*
Thankfully, I'm not alone. There are other parents out there feeling as stranded as I am. Someday i will treat them all to jager bombs and karaoke.
Will they ever share? Will I eventually retire my saying "Don't hit your sister again!!"? Will I ever not suffer with massive foot pain from stepping on a littlest pet shop in the middle of the night? There has to be hope out there, right?
It really does get better as the kids get older. I promise :)
ReplyDeleteOh, girl, it comes and it goes. It will definitely get better as they both get verbal and can tell each other/understand what they're after. My kids, you would think they hate each other, but when it comes down to it , at the end of the day they really are each others' best friend. And every now and then, they realize it. It's the moments like that that make up for the seemingly endless hours of bickering. ♥
