So my mom once said....

 

I can remember all those years ago when I myself was the question asking, attention seeking, totally hormonal teenager... It was then my mother would often look at me with the bewildered look she so often had (probably because I was doing another one of those bone head teenage things) and say " daughter dear, one day... Yes, one day I hope that you grow up and have a child twice as bad as you"...

Thing is, I did indeed grow up, and have kids who are at least twice as bad as I was as a kid (I swear its more like 4 times, but hey who's counting right) thing is... I didn't have 1... or 2... or even 3... Nope, I had four of those lovely little monsters. I was even one of those moms, who had a sudden brain fart, and decided that once I had the first three sleeping through the night, potty trained, and off to school. I should start all over, and have a fourth... Thus, leaving me to raise a hormonal teenager, and a temperamental toddler all at the same time (What was I thinking? I wasn't thinking) ... The nightmares joys of parenting a toddler and teenager all at the same time are certainly endless, and I must admit there is absolutely NEVER a dull moment in my neck of the woods.

but, mom... umm I am beginning to think that curse you put on me, was more of a joke on you. See, you not only paid your dues by raising two rowdy, independent, rebellious, strong willed kids of your own... Now my dear sweet mother... Now you get to help me raise mine.

So while, I have my hand in raising a least 4 of the worlds most wanted juvenile delinquents sweetest angels.. You my dear sweet mother, well you get to have you hand in raising six! Yes, your reward for raising 2 stubborn, hard headed teenagers is the ability to help raise at least four more.

and to my dear sweet monsters... For you I do not wish the torture my own mother bestowed on me... No, my little angels I hope that you have kids who are two times sweeter, and at least two times more well behaved then you yourselves are **Wink Wink** and don't you worry your little heads, cause mommy will have no problems with the babysitting.
