DADDY

My husband recently returned from a three week business trip and now both of the girls are all about daddy! It's almost as if I don't even exist when he is home and when he is at work they are so upset about him being gone that they still don't care that I am there lol. I know they love me but for the time being they just love him more! Yesterday morning Sam woke up screaming for daddy, who was at work so I went to get her out of bed and she was furious! She grabbed her pillow and backed into the corner so that I could not get her out and she just yelled GO! GO! over and over again, taking breaks from time to time to yell out for daddy. I just stood there and waited for her to calm down after five or so minutes of being swatted by a pillow every time i reached for her I told her dad would be back that night and could I please get her out of bed? She sat down crossed her arms and told me NO! Ten minutes later she asked to get out so that she could go potty. It was hilarious and sad at the same time!

Respect 101

I was walking through the store when I overheard this little conversation: CHILD "Mommyyyy Say please." MOTHER "I DON'T HAVE TO SAY PLEASE OR THANK YOU TO YOU!"
Wow what to say about this...hmm. Your child is just that, a child, NOT an object that you own but a human being that you are raising. Every person deserves to be treated with respect, yes even the young ones. I don't understand how one can expect their children to treat them or anyone else with respect if they never receive any themselves.
