Good lord, I couldn’t even get through that Hannah Montana song once… I’m so sorry for you!

I agree with you 100%. I hate these things too and I have given birth to two daughters who look nothing like me but act exactly like me.
I have created two disasters in waiting.

Picking up….everything. Husband’s socks, toys, art projects, dirty clothes, shoes (good god – do we really have that many shoes??), wrappers, bags, blankets, food bits, backpacks….just everything. Then when you think, that’s finally looking a little better someone just takes something from somewhere and drops in on the floor- RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU, after they just had to move their feet so you could get the other thing up off the floor.
Buying more clothes. I swear I just bought pajamas, underwear, socks, whatever but now they don’t fit? Argh. I’ve had to resurrect the sewing machine just so that I can get an extra month of wear out of this stuff.
But the thing I most hate about being a mom, hearing words come out of my pie hole that sound just way too much like my mom!
I’m thinking ear plugs and white wine go nicely….

Your post reminds me in a guilty way of all that my mother had to put up with with my sister and I. True we didn’t argue much as we are six years difference in age and when we became old enough we took over duties such as ironing (which my mother hated), washing up (I always had to put away). But I do think of all the meals she cooked day after day(and we just scoffed in a blink of an eye or groused if it was something like salad or liver)all the dishes she washed, the beds she made, the clothes she folded, nappies she changed (pre-disposable)ect ect. Wow mom’s are amazing.

I always worry if I was a mother I wouldn’t be patient enough. My mother was wonderful she always made me feel she had time for me, even though I am sure was I was a royal pain in the bottom at times.I’m sure your a great mom too and you are making great memories with your children.

There are ways in which Annalie is JUST like my little brother was as a kid. When she pushes those buttons (which she doesn’t do on purpose, at least not yet) I lose all semblance of patience and revert to being an annoyed 9-year-old big sister. I hate that.

I hate having to repeat things over and over and over and over again before they sink into Annalie’s brain. I want to be able to tell her once or twice, “When you take off a dress that you’ve only been wearing for an hour, hang it back up,” and have her remember it and do it most of the time from then on. *sigh* I will keep telling her over and over and over, and making her hang them up, till she learns to do it herself, I guess!
