I am tired. Instead of yelling at me for something I haven't done for you, ask if you can help me. Instead of complaining about what's for dinner, offer a suggestion or two BEFORE I go to the grocery store. I'm tired. Instead of having an attitude about what I didn't get while I was at the store, say thank you for all the things I did get. Instead of complaining about the ONE shirt that isn't clean, thank me for doing all the other laundry. I'm tired. Don't complain about having the same thing two nights in a row. Be thankful we have extra time to spend together since I didn't have to cook again. Please don't be sitting there watching TV while having a snack as I'm walking in the door from work and ask what's for dinner... then proceed to go on with the above mentioned items. I'm not lazy. I'm tired. Don't complain about emptying the dishwasher EVERY SINGLE TIME. Just put the things away. I'm not a personal servant, don't treat me that way. Today, I got up got ready for work, went to work for a little while, took you to the dentist, stopped so you could have a snack, took you home, went back to work. Worked. Came home, threw in a load of laundry, made dinner, took you to judo and took you to Walmart to get a few things you needed. We got home at 8:30. I went next door to catch up with my friend for a few minutes and you show up complaining that I forgot to get something at the store BOTH of us were just at. You go home only to return that the dinner I left for you earlier was not edible and what was I going to do about your dinner. When I came home I was met with when are YOU doing such and such for me? Here's your answer. I'm not. The saddest part of all of this.... you're only 10 years old. Sure a lot of people will say that I made this monster... however, I didn't. Life as you know it is changing. I'm tired.
