Sometimes they just bite.
The best ...Consequences. Sometimes they just bite.<br />The best thing about consequences is that we can determine them by our choices.<br /><br />You are a super fun mom with alot on her plate...don't beat yourself up, just put your ingenuity to work and come up with something that works for you both. <br /><br />And by the way, my 2nd grader cried when it was time to come in and do her homework last night...today she will miss recess to do it. I think natural consequences work too.Momzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01078211684662158122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-933205011038630788.post-77589983872858492842009-05-08T09:13:00.000-04:002009-05-08T09:13:00.000-04:00Oh Lord, Amy! I swear we're the same person. I a...Oh Lord, Amy! I swear we're the same person. I agree with what Liz is telling you. I'm going to add to that.<br /><br />If you are like me, then you're exhibiting signs of depression. My depression manifests itself in "I don't care". <br /><br />Make an appointment with your doctor. It can't hurt to talk to someone about it. It might even help to start taking an anti-depressant.Joaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08943128638748507880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-933205011038630788.post-42634361077494933162009-05-08T08:22:00.000-04:002009-05-08T08:22:00.000-04:00OK- I was going to try and tell you that you are a...OK- I was going to try and tell you that you are an awesome mom and all that. <br /><br />But... if it were me... I'd be feeling really shitty, too. And having people tell me how great I am wouldn't help me any. <br /><br />So here is what I would want/need to hear...<br /><br />You know what the problem is. You've identified what is lacking. And now you have the power and ability to choose to make it different. <br /><br />And it sounds like maybe Charlie could use a little one on one time. And maybe the rest of the kids could, too. Maybe you can celebrate Mother's Day by celebrating your relationships with your kids. Have a date with each child for the next few meals. Dinner, breakfast, lunch, whatever. Heck- out for ice cream in the afternoon. Just to spend some one on one time. Reconnect a little. For your sake as well as theirs.<br /><br />I said I wouldn't say it but dangit... you are a great mom and I learn a lot from you when you share your parenting stories. Keep it real here and then use that ability to see what's wrong to make different choices going forward.Eternal Lizdomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12436844959718198383noreply@blogger.com
