The shoving-the-paper-in-my-face thing drives me nuts! Papers, hands, pawing, mauling...I feel so claustrophobic by the end of the day. We're more involved as parents than our own parents were (at least I am, which is something my mom and I have talked about a lot), trying to do the right things, but we get kind of kidded out in the process. Maybe if we were involved less--gave them a little more space--we'd be less inclined toward the freaking out. Ugh. Impossible to do it all right, isn't it?Bobbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01846665855246867179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-419451516926715648.post-55445790031022706862011-02-07T12:54:19.948-06:002011-02-07T12:54:19.948-06:00I cannot function until the kitchen is clean.

My son told me the other night that he didn't want us to talk like the people "in that commercial." I don't know which one he is talking about, but he said a teenager was talking with his mom and they were both being very mean and rude. Then he said, "Mom, I never want us to talk like that." I appreciate that he notices these things. Though what is up with my kids thinking that anything the show me has to me an inch away from my face? I cannot believe I still have both eyes. <br /><br />And because we always need an article to reference, here's <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/22/fashion/22yell.html" rel="nofollow"> one</a> from last year.AngryBakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17353130759155569342noreply@blogger.com
