granted

taken for it. permission to take it. living with it.

i'd like to think that i've taught my squirts a thing or two about this. about doing the right thing with "granted".

however, the lesson is lost when it's you trying to teach them not to take you for granted.

get it?

{sigh}

mommy take the beatings, and then, huggings.
mommy gets the tongue lashings when the kidlets are getting to the end of the rope, and then gets the kisses with 'i love you, mom'.
mommy hears the pushing and the requests, then gets the 'thank you' unpromted at just the right moment.

so, when the instruction manual goes for publishing on raising of children, be sure to proofread this chapter - extra well.

granted.

given.

happy Wednesday!

I think mommy gets the worst because it's a safe place to let it out. Still makes it frustrating to deal with, but I get it. Good thing mommy gets the best too. ;)
