I like being a mom, and I am glad I am a stay-at-home-mom. I love my children and I am grateful for the things they teach me. I do have one, huge, major complaint about my children, however. They ignore me. I will ask them to do something, and they will look at me like I am speaking Tagalog, or Finnish, or some other foreign language, and walk away, completely ignoring me. It makes me insane. INSANE!!!! I want to rush up to them, grab them, and shake them. I don't, but I sure want to.
I have tried to employ the same tactic with them, completely ignoring them when they ignore me, but they are impervious. Brandt must have asked me 26 times the other day if he could have a mint. He was relentless. He just kept asking and asking and asking. He was even pretty nice about it, but he just went on and on and on. So I finally gave him one just to get him to shut up. Children require iron will, and I fear, in this regard, I am weak.
