Parenting Hard

Lost it last nite. Kids have been staying home and I thought learning responsibilities. Guess not. Have you ever felt like you have been taken for granted? Especially by someone whom say they love you.
Parents work. That is just how it is. And you can argue the fact about working parents and the ones who stay home with their kids. Well I have been on both sides of the fence. I see both sides and one is no easier than the next. The kids are no better or worse for it. But when you are on one side, easier to see how the kids are affected. How the kids can play that situation. Easy to see how the divorce can work for them and see how they can play on the guilt of the parent who works. Well the sh#@ it the fan last nite. I will not be played. In this house, we all pull our weight. One chore a day is not asking too much. I don't care how the other side rolls. When at my house this is what we do. These are my rules and this is how I see things.
Seems pretty harsh. No I don't think so. It wasn't as bad as I write. But they did need to see that I mean what I say. And it wasn't just one day it was a series of days. So I don't need any lectures on child raising at this time. I just needed to vent. That is all. So it is done. I plan to spend some quality time with the kids today. Let them see that I can be "fun" mom. I laugh as I say that because they are going to work with me and I am cleaning their teeth. What more fun can you ask for?
