I suck at being a parent. Not in the "Oops, I forgot little Tommie's sippy cup" kind of sucking, but in the "Lost my control over spilled milk" kind of sucking at being a parent.
I keep trying to turn in my retirement papers, but they keep getting rejected.
What is it that makes a good parent, anyway?
I expected parades of "Thank-yous" and "Please" as well as picture perfect clean house, with the most well-behaved children. Not to mention the loving and most enjoyable relationship with my husband. This was my idea of what being a parent/wife.
Let me tell you, today (and many days in the past) who or whatever lead me to believe this was an accurate portrayal of life as a parent and wife are, man I found out they are liars! Never believe what you see on TV!
I do believe that when they made the movies about Dennis the Menace, they were really prepping me (and the world) for Mason.
I am no June Cleaver or Mrs. Brady. Again .. more lies on the TV.
One day my Dennis and "fill in the blank from 90210 characters" dramatic daughter Kara will have children of their own! :) This is the rewards of being a parent!
