Why does everyday involve an argument with a teenager?
DS2 my h.s. senior- Are you making enough food for all of us? No? And why do I have to clean your dishes and pots and pans and wipe off counters, and sweep up your mess??
Ds3 my h.s. sophomore - Are you really telling me you’d rather not study for your 2 tests tomorrow or finish up your merit badge work so you can play that new video game you’re excited about for the rest of the night?
Dd3 also h.s. Sophomore-at some point are you going to ask for help with that huge pile of laundry on your floor that is growing by the day? Or do you really insist on doing that yourself in addition to your full coarseload, internship and ballet role?? Just let me help you with your flipping laundry!!!
Seriously like 5 minutes ago they were fun, respectful, loving elementary school kids who thought I was the smartest person in the world. Where did those kids go??? I want them back.
