Lena gift wrapped this idea for me last night.
This week, I'm an unreasonable mom because of the following reasons:
1. I asked her to put away her clean laundry. I collected it up from around the house (in between couch cushions), washed it, and folded it. How could I not just take that final step and put it away? I'm so unreasonable!
2. I insisted that she shower. "Mom, I showered a two days ago!" I must have ruined some science experiment she was conducting under her arms or something, because requiring her to shower every other day is met with venomous looks like I've just asked her to go clean the litter box with her hands. I'm so unreasonable!
3. I expect her to get ready for school in the morning. I know that the kitties are soft. I know that your dragons may just starve to death on their island if you don't get to check them on the Kindle when you should be brushing you teeth. However, I also know that you have to catch the bus and I have to get to work so I can do things like, oh I dunno, feed you, keep a roof over your head, and pay for the wifi so your dragons don't die. I'm so unreasonable!
4. I expected that she eat her dinner... That I made. Yes, I'm certain that you believe Fruit Loops is actually part of the food pyramid, however, I'm pretty certain they would be listed under the "sugar" section. I'm so unreasonable!
Last, but certainly not least...
5. I would not allow her to spend the night at her friend's house last night. It's a school night. There was no parent home, just an older sibling. Yes, the older sibling gets the younger sibling off to school most mornings because the other mom travels for work and is sometimes gone for days at a time. Shame on me for not trusting one child to get my extremely easily distracted child ready for school in the morning (see reason #3). I'm so unreasonable!
If you're unreasonable too, please leave me a comment and tell me why. I would love to hear stories of the other mean unreasonable parents like myself.
