I think you are far wiser than Confucius…especially since you also know that while welcomed, others’ opinions are irrelevant.

Brilliant page…really, just brilliant!

Thanks! Oh it just gets worse. I have to remind my oldest on a regular basis that we are NOT equals. And whenever I say that, I think to myself, “Great. Now I am becoming the kind of tyrannical parents that I vowed not to be…”

Oy. We tangle with this one. All.The.Time:

Don’t tell me I can’t be on the Internet because I told you to get off the Internet. I am not in school any more. You are!

Damn straight, I did my time in school and I PAID FOR THE COMPUTER! I don’t actually say that but I do scream it in my head. Nice list!

LOL. Thanks! Please go ahead. I do think cross stitching is undervalued. Every home should display the Law of the Family such! (In some Chinese families, the Law refers to that big giant stick used to whack children… Ha)

Can I beg/borrow/steal your house rules? I want to cross stich them on a piece of cloth, frame them, and hang them on my wall.

Thank you so much for reading and commenting! Don’t let them make you feel guilty. Guilt-tripping is our prerogative as mothers! You don’t go through labor pains without gaining anything.

Hopping over from Studio Thirty Plus! I can tell I am going to like your blog… I like that internet part. Feeling guilty that I’m on it right now while my little dude is watching Peter Pan, but…I am the mother, right?? I need to read your list over and over!

Love is not shown or given by standing watch at the end, it is shown and given during the quiet times, when you share the precious memories of her with your boys. When you remember her beauty and grace and the lessons she taught you and let them guide you through decisions you make in life.
I am so sorry for your loss, love. I will raise my glass to you and your Aunt tonight at exactly 10pm Eastern time. In celebration of a woman who was there for you when you needed, who helped to shape someone who is a bright spot in this world.

“Don’t tell me how difficult your brother is. Don’t you think I know that?”
HAHA. I want to get some wine and come over to your house just to hear the conversation. I also loved the exchange regarding the internet. LOL.
