AARRRGGGHHH!!!
I am quite sure that every mom experiences moments when she wonders what in the world she is doing wrong to have her child turn into an alien being before her eyes! There are days when I swear an alien ship has come down and snatched my happy child and exchanged him for an alien being whose mission it is to find out what puts me over the edge...and just when I am about to completely loose it, the alien space ship returns and exchanges my child back. Leaving me to wonder....why did I get so upset in the first place?
My oldest son had zero interest in going to bed tonight despite being amazingly overtired. Screaming, crying, spitting, pulling, pinching, and having a dandy of a time doing it too. He put such gusto into it!! So, trying to be the nurturing mama, I offer to rub his back if he lays down. He lays down for about 2.8 seconds, jumps up, grabs my glassess and chucks them across the room! Not wanting to encourage that behavior, I leave the room. Well, I think he is convinced I took his birthday with me!
I am quite sure this routine will repeat for at least the next 18 years. I am hoping that I soon get a better grasp on how to deal with these situations...maybe I should just work on inventing Alien spray to keep them away....yes...yes I think that would be much easier.
