Dear Family,
Greetings, my beloved ones! It’s your ever-dedicated mom — the one who finds lost items, pairs up socks, and tirelessly cleans up after the various muddy footprints you leave behind without a second thought. Just the other night, I witnessed one of you munching on a peanut M&M that had been residing on the floor of our car since Halloween. Yet, somehow, my lovingly prepared semi-homemade dinner is met with disdain, drenched in ranch dressing while I sit right beside you.
So, here’s a thought: tonight, while I enjoy this delightful glass of wine, I’m feeling quite inspired to let you whip up your own dinner. How about a simple PB&J? Go wild with the jam! Just remember to tidy up afterwards, alright?
In this household, the rule is clear: if you create a mess, you’re responsible for cleaning it. It seems, however, that this fundamental principle slips your minds more often than not. Yet, I know you can recall it, especially considering you remember every detail of your birthday five years ago when I couldn’t find that Lego set you were dying for, despite my extensive search.
I do all this because I adore you, and that’s what love entails — making the people you care about happy. So, please, do me a favor and locate your own shoes.
If I’m in the bathroom with the door shut, or in the bedroom chatting with your father, it’s not the ideal moment to inquire about the whereabouts of chips. A quick peek in the pantry would solve that query easily.
I’m starting to think you enjoy hearing me raise my voice. You seem to invite it by ignoring requests until I’m practically shouting. I’ve noticed the eye rolls when I reach my limit, and phrases like “OK, calm down, Mom” might not be necessary if you could just complete basic tasks, like putting on your pants so we can get to school on time. Why do I need to give step-by-step instructions for that?
And please, don’t ask me where your sweatshirt is. I’m juggling thoughts about how to get you all from basketball practice to the dentist with only minutes to spare. If it’s not on you, it should be in your drawer or the laundry hamper. I bet it’s crumpled under your bed or buried in the back of the car, which is no place for it.
Let’s be real: if the trash can is overflowing with coffee grounds and banana peels, it would be a nice gesture to take it out instead of grimacing about how it makes you feel nauseous every time you toss something in.
So, pitch in! Find your own socks, stop peering into the fridge and asking if we have blueberry yogurt when it’s practically staring you in the face. I’m about to reach my limit here, kids.
You are capable, you are able, and you are strong enough to handle things independently. Before you ask me about something, take a moment to see if you can figure it out on your own. You’ll be amazed at how much smoother things will go. Trust me, it’ll be a magical transformation for everyone involved.
With love,
Your devoted mother
