Ok I feel better now.... for about five minutes. This lady needs another kid in the cart, a shovel in her hand, and a teenager harassing her every step. "Can I have a cookie." "I'm hungry." "WHY can't I go all the way across the country and stay with someone who's a total stranger to you???" "Woof." "I got mud on my shoe." "HI!... mom she didn't say hi back to me..." "Look a deer!!!!" "HE HIT ME!!!" "But I need to be at practice NOW!" *interspersed with random screaming at the top of lungs* "A BEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!"
First off.... yes you have a job, mr dad. Yes you get up slightly earlier than me to go to it. But noone is yelling at you to feed them, water them or kiss a boo boo (he stubbed his dang toe on a LEGO!!!) while you are doing said job. Also, while I know I volunteered to help with the yard work so you could rest your hurt elbow, asking me what I did today when you walk in the door isn't helping. When you get home everyone wants dinner.... help with homework... another boo boo kissed (MY GOD, you are 5, how can it hurt THAT bad!?!?!?). There are also fights to break up (have considered just giving them baseball bats and let Darwin take the wheel)... dogs to feed and water again (quit barking at EVERY chipmunk, there are like 20 of them out there, get used to it already!!!) floors to clean (yes I saw the damn poop... I'll get to it, *CRASH* OH HELL what NOW!?).
Idea: When you get home, and something needs doing that will hurt you to do (nice scrape on the already hurting elbow... damn, did a shark attack your shop???) maybe you could actually play a game or two with the children while I do that task. It's what I do when YOU are cutting grass, digging trenches, weed eating and tilling the ruts so you don't get thrown off the riding mower(stupid ten ton gravel truck!) We both know I am capable but quite frankly, ain't nothing much getting done as fast as you want it done if no one gives me time to do it. OH, and can you make dinner while I am out there? I am gonna be dirty tired and hungry when I'm done......
