Why is everything my fault?
Is it just my house? Why, when something goes missing — something that I do not use or need — is it my fault that it cannot be found? If you have a child, or a husband for that matter, you know what I’m talking about.
This morning it was a Webkinz:
Diva: “Mom, where is my bunny Webkinz?!!!”
Mom: “I put it where it should be — in the Webkinz basket beside your closet?
Diva: “IT’S NOT HERE!!!”
Mom: “Well, that’s where I put it yesterday after I found it in the car.”
Diva: “I never had it in the car. I need it NOW!”
Mom: “I’m coming……”
Diva: (as I stop what I’m doing and trip over two rambunctious puppies) “Oh, never mind, I found it!”
Mom: “Where was it?”
Diva: “In the Webkinz basket beside my closet.”
Okay is it just me? Isn’t that what I said 10 frustrating minutes ago?! How is it that we as moms own everyone else’s problems? I spend lots of time teaching my little diva, I mean, daughter, to be responsible for her own actions and to honor her belongings. Yet at some point every day there will come a time when I get in trouble for what (insert child or husband’s name here — most days one is the same amount of work as the other).
Anyway… that’s my rant for today… I gotta go now… stuff to put away so it can be found later… or not……
