You know those days. When your kids are on repeat. Mommy, mommy, mommy, mommy. Get me milk, get me milk, get me milk, get me milk. I heard you the first time!!!!!!!!! Just wait!!!!!!!!! AGGGGHHHHHH! And why has my husband stopped changing my son's diaper all of a sudden? I secretly whisper in Taven's ear "go tell daddy to change your diaper." Sometime it works....And if my kids do not stop following me around in order to jump on everything I sit on! I'm (sorry interruption, Eaden is yelling mommy watch, mommy watch, mommy watch." okay I just watched. a perfect cartwheel. oh no "please mommy watch, mommy watch! now shes hiottin g my arm, mommy watch!" i cant type fast enough. whining momy youre not wACHING!) OK BACK TO WHAT I WAS SAYING. I'm quite pregnant and every time they get on the bed or couch I want to vomit. All that moving! Stop following me! I'm really a good mother, I promise, but why don't they follow their dad like that? Why is he able to go into the bedroom and peacefully watch soccer for hours? Or why does he get to take long uninterrupted naps? Okay, let me get Naia some milk...Her dad is downstairs near the milk yet she asks me! I'm going to leave all of those typos in there from when Eaden was bugging me. Why do I go to the kitchen and get food, drinks, whatever for Eaden or Taven, Naia does not ask for anything. Then as soon as I sit down she starts whining for milk or a snack. This is my life. I like it....no I love it. But damn! Come on people.
And yes it's okay to complain sometimes, or admit that parenting is hard. It's okay to call your kids annoying. It doesn't mean you love them any less. It's just the truth. We can't be all spiritual ladada mothering is so magical all the time (a little throw up in my mouth). Well maybe ya'll can. I just need a drink. AND when bloggers tell it like it is, other bloggers or readers feel better about themselves! Now don't we all want to be a part in making others feel better about themselves? By the way, if your "tell it like it is" really is all Buddhism for Mothers like, then make up a few stories here and there. Readers will love it! This reader will anyway.

| I wonder if I bugged my parents.....no way. |
i so know your pain. My other half has noticed too and has made comments about why they come to me for everything when he is right there. I have said that it is the tone he uses with them. He makes it clear he does not want to be spoken too or bugged for anything, so they always come to me, even if he is right there. but nothing changes lol! They are my shadow! and even the dog has joined in. i get up and move and he comes following right behind me!! ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
ReplyDeleteYay! Turn into Grumpy Mum like me, and suddenly Dad becomes flavour of the month!!! I'm due any day now and the weekends: Daddy rules! I adore my girls, but yeah, I completely understand the irritation of that constant demanding... ESPECIALLY when you're pregnant!! I've had whole days when I've felt like all I've done is bark at them in irritation, when I've been feeling so tired and vomity and shit, and they're still saying everything 500 times and needing everything NOW... you just do the best you can and look forward to the easy sunny days :)
ReplyDeleteI'm right there with you. My kids have been spending a lot of time outside - away from the evil pregnant woman.
ReplyDeleteI hear you. My husband doesn't think it is OK for me to call the kids annoying... (even though they, like all children, ARE annoying sometimes), yet HE is not the one dealing with their annoying-ness all of the time!
ReplyDeleteUsually, when I am at my limit with the kids, then they turn around and do something so fantastically cute that I forget how annoyed I am. At least for a minute or so...
ps- you were a cute little munchkin!
Love my kids but yeah you can call them annoying. Maybe he'd change his tune if you take off on a mini-vacation to somewhere and leave him in charge of everything and everyone (with no help) for a week or two. ;)

Yes we all love to hear that there are other mums out there that have THOSE days, it makes you much more of an endearing blogger because we can all relate, anyone who can't is just lying!!
ReplyDeleteso true....i feel your pain too! Ive had to stop reading quite a few blogs lately cos they were too fluffy and nice all the time and made me feel like a crappy mum cos I'm just not as nice as them...or seemingly anyway! and my kids are pretty damn annoying too...much as love em, they really know how to drive me to a new level of crazy!
ReplyDeleteAhhh that sounds a lot like how I felt Friday night - they just all wanted to be on my lap, or attached to my body, non stop!!!! When I tried to go have some time to myself (aka hiding in the bedroom), Emma decided she was coming too, and followed me to the bedroom...and started jumping on the bed. Then Eli pounded on the door and hollered. They NEVER do this to their dad. EVER. I'm not pregnant, and I only have two, but it can make me feel nuts too.
ReplyDeleteOh but don't I know everything you are talking about. Every mom does. The child always follows the mom. There is a reason why my three year old goes around using the word "harass". I could be down the street and dad in the house and I think my kids would leave the house, find me to ask me to get some milk. ;)
ReplyDeleteMaybe I told you (can't remember); I saw a pinterest pin of some an embroidered piece someone did. It said: "Ya'll gon' make me lose my min-up in here, up in here." Four people are yelling and playing really loudly as I type this. I think I'll have a beer.
xoxo,
Ang
PS: You were the cutest little kid.
You annoyed me......Love, your mother
