You just hit the nail on the head. ALL OF THOSE THINGS are why I am NOT a SAHM anymore. I just don't have the patience, but deeply respect all of you who do. Your blog is awesome, by the way.

After I laugh really hard he says, "do i even want to know how dumb that question was?" ohh dear..

Adults with eyes glossed over, texting, chewing their pen, etc. But, at least they are pretending to care about what you say. Now, try conducting some potty training seminars. Ha! There is no "training" in potty training! Whoever coined that phrase should be burried in pee soaked toddler clothes and topped off with poop. Ever conducted a training class?

I'm not listening to you! (I shake with fear when I think I am going to have 2 16 yr olds at the same time... 2 new drivers, telling me to take a hike and rolling eyes at me.) This is definitely why we get such cute, precious babies and toddlers. If you didn't fall in love with them then, how could you handle the teen years, right? (I can't wait to have grandkids!) la-la-la-la … I'm not listening to you!

Wait until they think they know more than you and try to argue about every little thing. Now I know what I put my parents through. Oh yeah and mine are only 6 and 8. I'm definately not looking forward to the teenage years when they can just tell me to fuck off and drive away in their car. No wonder my Mom drank "wine with dinner" EVERY night.

Like 8 or 9 a day, not 24. Some things seem to get more frustrating, too. Right now, you talk at them and they babble at you. You know that you are somewhat talking over their heads, but you keep doing it because that is how they will learn. Then, they become 3 or 4, and now you say many of the same things "to" them, not "at" them. You have higher expectations. They should know better. At least that is what is running through your head. But, they still don't comply and it irks your cookies beyond belief. It's a good thing they are so cute!! Don't forget, a "real" "job" is generally set hours. Like 8 or 9 a day, not 24.
