When kids are Jerks

It happened today. My kids were total jerks to me.🤯🤬 I also let it get the best of me in that moment too. I’ve spent a lot of time stewing over my morning and I have to say I wish I could re-do it. 

As I knew this would happen, Henry was tapping on my face at 7:02 and asking if he could go swimming. I said no, it’s too early and too chilly yet🥶. Insert first fit of the day. I was upset because A-I wanted to sleep in and B-he woke up two of his siblings. I knew I was in for it. So after I finally got him settled down I went to lay back down and not even ten minutes later the girls were asking me to go buy them breakfast. I’m suuuuuch a mean mom and said there’s food in the kitchen! Insert two more fits-one from each girl. 

By ten AM I was finally on the treadmill. 🏃🏼‍♀️Multiple times I was asked about the pool. I still continued to say no, not until after I was finished. 

We all know that didn’t happen. The boys ended up trying to be in the pool-I finally told them it was ok and I was going to take a quick shower. As in 5 minutes or less.🚿🚿

Y’all. I can’t even shower! I got out and the kids had a bike, a scooter and multiple toys INSIDE the pool!!🚲🛴 And then I lost it. When I told them to get out and that the pool was done for the day, one child got kicked in the face. And it wasn’t an accident. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Insert photo below to how loud I got! 

And I’m honestly surprised nobody came and knocked on my door!!! 

I mean why. WHY would you put a bike and scooter in there. I kept asking over and over. 

What I wish would have happened was this. A nice gentle wake up at 8 am; a good morning mommy I love you; when can we get in the pool? Followed by an, “Oh! Ok!” Acceptance answer. Yeah I know. Funny wish right. Every moms dream-that will never come true! 😉

Honest though. I wish I wouldn’t have gotten so angry, but sometimes I feel like in that moment it’s my only option. Eventually things cooled off. I literally hid in my room for an hour from the world folding laundry and watching my show. I felt better after that. I’m hoping good nights sleep for everyone helps and that tomorrow is a better day!! 

Sharing my ugly moment for the rest of you know you’re not alone when your kids can be jerks. Mine are pros at it. If they could make money, we’d be rich. 😂

Until next time!
