Growing up I can remember hearing my mother say things like "because I said so" and "don't make me come in there" and "that wasn't nice". I remember her making my eat my veggies and take baths, we also played the quiet game a lot...hmm that makes a lot of sense now. Mark likes me to play that game too...with myself..no wonder I always lose!..Anyway back to my thought...
She was on top of me about cleaning...whole lotta good that did!
She never gave up on me, even as a teenager. I was very blessed and didnt really know it. I thought I would never be like her! I was gonna be a cool mom.
Now that I am a mother and I am the one saying "because I said so" and "dont make me come in there" and "eat my ..I mean your veggies " :) I see that if I am half the mother that my mom was to me...my children will turn out ok. And just maybe they will grow up to be cool parents like me and my mom!
You guys are great!
