confessions of a worn out mom.

[Anonymous]

When I buy gum for myself, it is not community gum. If I want to give you a piece, I will. Don't take my gum.

If you don't clean your room when I ask you to and I have to clean it, don't complain when anything I deem unneccesary gets thrown away. If it was important to you, you would've picked it up.

If you change clothes 3 times a day just because you feel like it, don't complain when you run out of clothes and have "nothing to wear".

Please don't ask me what's for dinner immediately after you finish your lunch.

I hate sitting on the toilet and getting pee on me. I haven't figured out why, after being reminded repeatedly, you boys can't wipe the damn seat when you miss the large hole you stand less than a foot above. The girls and I have to hover over the toilet in our own house. I will follow you into the bathroom like you're 3 from now on.

DON'T MESS WITH MY PLAYLIST! You have your own stuff! I haven't liked Eminem since I was a stupid teenager, much like you are now. There is no mood I am ever in that warrants listening to your silly rappers.

No, I don't want to watch that lil wayne video.

No, I don't want to watch you defeat whoseewhatsitface on that game.

I love all of you, but it's crucial that I have my hour alone in the morning. I wake up early during the summer so I can have time to gather my thoughts and plan the day. If you are not sick or dying, breakfast is at 8am...like every morning.

Thanks,
Mom

Add your own so I know I'm not alone lol

I explained to hubby that part of my stress is due to lack of conversation with an adult! Lol
We only have one nine month old, so I spend most of my day speaking only in baby talk! When he gets home, I'm interested in hearing about his day, yes, but I ALSO need his ears, not just his mouth!!
Luckily I still poop in peace lol

Quoting Rylansmommy386:

My hubby used to say stuff like that. And i told him that i wish i could eat when inwas hungry and not have little fingers grabbing at everything intry to eat screaming they are hungry when they just got through eating. Pee or poop when i need to without having to get a 5 yr old and 2 yr old entertained and a 9 month entertained in a pack and play that he hates now that he is mobile. And last but not least, have an intellectual conversation that does not include farts, which animals bite and which dont, the justice league, spiderman, and any other super heroes.

Quoting Anonymous:

If you come home from work and ask "what did you do today?" & I answer "hung out with the baby," that doesn't mean we sat around doing nothing today.


A general translation is:


Changed diaper x amount of times


Did laundry, washed diapers,


Made baby wipes and/or baby food


Swept


Vacuumed


Made that dinner


Went for a walk and/or to the park or ran errands


Worked on filling orders and contacting customers.





I just didn't think you wanted a play-by-play.


So DON'T respond with "I wish I could've sat around."


Or I may harm you.

The dishwasher is not radioactive.  You can open it a put a damn dish in it without fear of serious injury.

And while we're at it, the cupboard doors close, as well as open.  Thought you'd like to know that.

Ds, I really don't care that Derek Jeter was the 51st American League baseball player to earn 4 rbi's in a non-league, July game played on a Tuesday evening, when the temperature was over 91.5 degrees.  Text it to your buds.

Dd, don't complain that you're bored.  Go get a damn job.

Remember those puppies that you had to have?  FEED THEM.

When i give you 30+ minutes notice we are leaving the house...... NO you may not decide to eat a bowl of cereal as i am ready to walk out the door..... Maybe you should have turned the TV off 5 minutes sooner!!!!!

The socks! My SO and all the kids did this. I finally threatened to shove any pair of dirty socks I found on the ground in his cpap mask when he was sleeping. He must have known I was evil enough to do it...haven't found a pair since.

Ignoring me all day and then screeching my name like you are dying the second I get on the phone will NOT get you want you want. Unless you are bleeding, a bone is broken, someone is choking, or the house is on fire do not interupt me. Oh and if you keep screeching my name I will be less likely to believe you when the above do apply...

No, dear middle DD, you do not need a cell phone so I can call to see where you are when I call you in for dinner. See, the issue is you were not where you were suppose to be which caused me to have to hunt you down, hence why you are grounded, the cell phone would not help that...

I am NOT made of money. You do not NEED 100.00 shoes...I don't own 100.00 shoes....in fact, it is summer, you NEED to wear flip flops or go barefoot....

I like to shower too. I realize there are only two showers, limited hot water, and 6 people....still, I like to shower too. And when you complain that there is no hot water when I just told you I am doing laundry and a load of dishes? That is called listening...

And lastly, dear DH, you socks DO NOT belong in the living room. They belong in the hamper. I love you, but I will not hunt down socks for you...

[clippingmom]

When you know i am in the shower and you decide to come in anyways dont act suprised or grossed out when you see me naked.....you walked in MY room....
And for gods sake close the door when you leave.......

The rule is, you eat what's made for dinner, or you eat a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. You know this.

The chap stick is not for licking, and why were you in my purse again?

Yes, that stupid ice cream truck comes by every day. That doesn't mean you actually get ice cream every day.

[wubbunny420]

I dont care if you "made" the mess, i clean up 500 messes a damn day i didnt make just freaking do it

when i say no i dont actually mean " ask me 500 more times' because the anwser will still be what it was when you asked me the first time

i dont care if your bored, find something to do because if i have to find it for you its likely to involve cleaning something

My kids are older (17 and up).  Only the e17 year old lives at home full time, 19 year old lives here in the summer, home from college.  22 year old is "mostly" on her own (long story, she's moving to NYC in two weeks).  30 year old IS on his own, and lives 1200 miles away.

If you use the last of the (fill in the blank) you better either a) tell me when I'm going to the store or b) buy some your damn self!  You have a vehicle and a debit card.  Don't be helpless.

The extra toilet paper has been kept in the garage pantry for decades.  When you have used the last of it in the bathroom, you are JUST as capable as I am of going out and getting more (and please get enough to put under the sink, not just one roll).

If you will not be here for dinner, let me know ahead of time.  I don't care - but I DO get pissed off if I've made you dinner, and you choose to go out with your friends.  And yes, I WILL act pissed off as well, because I AM.

We give you a car to drive, and a gas credit card.  If I decide to get in your car to go somewhere, I do NOT want to find it on fumes.  You have no excuse.

If you are 22 years old and have decided to move across the country then you are fully capable of calling movers to get an estimate for your furniture.  You are also capable of figuring out how to do this on your own - you're a friggin college graduate!

do not bring your friends into my bedroom and be surprised when i am naked, its my room ! And frankly i do not want your friends in my room when i'm clothed either!
