K is for Kids
I love my kids . . .I do. Honest. Except two of mine are now teenagers which makes them a little hard to bear most days of the week. See, they suffer from a chronic illness that I find inflicts a lot of kids their age: I-hate-you-now-give-me-money-for-the-mall syndrome. My husband says the cure (for me) is wine; some days I think it is boarding school.
However today, as I curse Uncle Sam for talking MY hard earned money, I have found the silver lining and it's name is DEDUCTION!
I'm amazed at the kids I see treating their parents like crap and then having the nerve to ask for something. Hello? Two way street, heard of it? I'm glad I was so perfect (not).
ReplyDeleteI know, I was totally perfect to, Marcy!
DeleteThey have to be good for something, right? I have two teenagers too, but so far I've had it pretty easy, so I can't complain!!!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the easy while you can!
DeleteI'm glad there is a name for the I-hate-you-now-give-me-money
ReplyDeleteYes LOL I find it run rampant for a few years then subsides (or so they tell me)
DeleteMy oldest is 12 and he's just entering the I-hate-you stage, but luckily it doesn't involve money yet! The worst thing is, once he's 18, his brother will be 12 and I get to start all over!

Mine is like Erica- I get the 'I-hate-you' but not the money request, although, he does ask us to buy him lots of things (games, hockey equipment, lacrosse stuff). Hmm, maybe it's just the money in disguise.
