The other post was getting too long….here’s more stories from some of My Favorite Moms.

“When my child grows up and has a house of their own…..”

(From Joy)

I will wait until breakfast/lunch/dinner is served, she sits down, and then I’ll ask for something vital to the meal that I could have gotten in the few moments prior to her sitting down to eat yet another less than warm meal, but she really needs to get it for me.

I will ignore all of her warnings on a school night to make sure my backpack is all ready to go in the morning so that I can freak out as we’re walking out the door to get to school looking for that paper I printed out that’s due first period - it’s really still in the printer tray, but that would be too easy of a place to start looking so I’ll start under my bed and work out from there.

I will spend hours in front of the mirror perfecting the “your very existence annoys me” eye roll so I can sport that look whenever I choose.

I will also practice saying “Daughter” in the exact same whiney tone she says “Moooom…”.

I will practice my flounce so that when she asks me to clean up my bathroom, room, or any other part of the house, I can show off my backside with the same amount of disdain she currently uses. (guess who is upstairs unhappily cleaning her bathroom…)

As soon as I am in the car, buckled into my carseat, I will proceed to whine at the highest decible level “I have to go potty!!!” even though she asked me right before we left home if I had to go and I insisted that I did not. Alternatively, if the potty thing isn’t working, I will then whine in the same ear-splitting manner that I am starving - even though, once again, she made sure to ask me if I was hungry before we left home.

It is my goal in life to see her head spinning…
