What the hell are we doing wrong?

That's what I asked Mr. Sasha tonight during dinner. This is one of those days where I just feel like I am doing a terrible job raising my kids.

P was freaking out claiming he needed to leave the room because the smell of WC's clementine was "gagging" him. (And really, I think it was. What's that all about?)

WC was standing up in her booster, with her t shirt up around her hair like a turban, busy disobeying my instructions to sit down.

You need instructions on mommy-ing from the Bestest Mama in the Unoberse.

Lesson #1: give the children mac and cheese in front of the tv. No complaints.

Lesson #2: drink. lots.

Hey Sasha,

Sorry to hear that the wild child is acting, well, wild.

Anyways, I hope you don't get offended, but as a school psychologist, I deal with this behavior all of the time (unlike what some people may think, school psychs are not just for the kids with major problems, we can help your regular run of the mill kid as well).

Anyways, I highly, highly recommend this book. Dr. Thomas W. Phelan's 1-2-3 Magic: Effective Discipline for Children 2-12

and like someone else mentioned. Many, many drinks.

Watch Bill Cosby. He always makes me feel better. ;)

I had one of those days, too. Bummer thing is that it carried over to today. February is just not fun...at all.

Here's to a good tomorrow. :)

Hmm...maybe this malaise is catching! I seem to be feeling the same way lately. What about trading? I'll take the Politician and WC for a week, and you can have SS#1 and the Manimal. Heck, I'd take both of yours and you can just have the Manimal! :)

I can so relate! I'm hoping it's a phase... that they grow out of... before college!

PS I LMAO at this:

I"m going to print it and put it on my fridge!
