….Talk is cheap….take it with a pinch of salt!
A friend of mine needed some babysitting today so I welcomed her girl to come over to play with Tee.Tee was initially very excited asking every five minutes if she was on the way but things very soon changed when she arrived.
For the first hour of the morning, the little girl was whining and asking what she could do, what could she play and that she was bored. BORED???!!!! That sounded SO familiar and I was so glad that my girl was not the only one that whined and said she was bored.
Tee followed her suit and continued to say that she was bored too. I told them to think of what they wanted to play with and even gave them suggestions but no, they didn’t want to do anything I’d suggested and just kept complaining that they were bored.
Finally, I got them to do a collage and that kept them quiet for 25 minutes. They were actually driving me crazy. Two bitchy, whiny girls who just kept getting at each others throats. *sigh*
OK, I’m going to go entertain two whiny four year olds now.
Once upon a time, I designed buildings and interiors of corporate offices and on the rare occasion, homes. Now, I clean poop and am student of a patience management course. From the drawing board as a London Architect to the realities of Motherhood, I have certainly learned many lessons in humility. And then others.....
To succeed in the corporate world, first succeed with your kid as the happy boss. Seriously.
This blog is about me, Mamapumpkin. A crazy, demented Mom who cares full time, alone, without any help, for an even crazier preschooler AND a baby with a boob addiction problem. *sniff* Someone, please get me a chair.......
I write anything that comes out of my head, mostly without thinking first, which almost always gets me into trouble (according to my husband, also known as the love of my life.......on a good day).
My pet monkeys drive me towards challenge after challenge, 24/7.
Gotta love it.
