Just wanted to take a few minutes to remember why I became a mom. Oh, yes. Because I wanted a sweet, intelligent, beautiful child to share my life with. Well, I got the sweet, intelligent and beautiful but they didn't tell me that I would also have to put up with stubborn, whiney and spoiled. Not to mention greedy. Actually, at six years old the whiney is winding down. The stubborn is about the same, (spoiled is grandma's problem) but the greedy is driving me crazy! My son wants EVERYTHING he sees on TV, every toy at the store, everything that his friends have. In fact, he will even take the dog's toy if it looks interesting enough. I had one child (for several reasons) but one of the main one's was because I did not want to be a referee. Well, that didn't work since I now have to protect the dog.
