So I've heard parents say that when you're kid tells you they hate you, you must be doing something right, right? Well, it sure doesn't feel good when it happens. Let's travel back 45 minutes...I put my kids to bed, read them a story and turn on their music. My daughter is asleep after maybe 10 minutes, my son...yeah, right! He gets up and I make him go back to bed. I usually use the Supernanny technique where you don't talk to them you just lead them back to bed. Well, it's now 30 minutes later and I have gotten up at least 20 times to take him back to bed. During the times he has gotten out of bed, I have had 2 pillows thrown at me and 2 books thrown at me. He has slammed the door on me at least twice, told me he didn't love me and stuck his tongue out at me. To put a cherry on top, he yelled "I hate you!"
Now, almost 45 minutes and he just came in and apologized to me for throwing books at me, "dicking" (he can't say his "s's") his tongue out at me, shutting the door and being mean to me. At the beginning of this post I was crying because I felt like my son didn't love me, and I wasn't doing anything right. Now, I am crying because he knows he did something wrong, and he knows he should apologize for it. When it comes down to it, maybe I am doing something right.

How cute! I'm sure the first part wasn't fun, the the apology had to make it worth it. Don't feel bad...Ryan "dicks" his tongue out at me too and Madison frequently tells me that I can't be her mom anymore. When I agree to that plan, she says, "Weeell, I guess you can still be my mom, but you're just mean." Nice, huh?
Well, of course after I posted this, Josh decided that since he had apologized, he could do what he wanted and watch a movie in the living room. He actually came in and told me that's what he was doing. Then it started over again. Josh went through a stage a few months ago where he wanted "Miss Summer" (an aid at his school) to be his mommy. That felt good too.
I really don't like this post. Delete it please. This really isn't fair since he had a two hour nap at three.
Just Joking. Do not delete this is is actually funny!!! HAHAHAHA
