We love our children. Of course we do. But that doesn’t mean that they are perfect angels and behave appropriately 24/7. And whether we liked to admit it or not, there are times when our children thoroughly annoy us. Well, maybe not our children specifically, but their actions, or inactions, on a daily basis.
As we approach the holidays, full speed ahead, our children (well at least mine) tend to notice our stress and exhaustion levels increase. And for some reason, it seems like their inability to behave and act rationally decreases during this time!
So, let’s keep our wits about us and commiserate together and enjoy my Twelve Days of Christmas – Mom Style!! Happy Holidays from my unhinged house to yours!!
