You're So Mean

"You're so mean!"

What parent hasn't heard these words? If I had a dollar for everytime that my children responded to one of my parental diktats with that phrase I could put them through college without having to work.

But I found a cure. Everytime my kids told me, "You're so mean!" I responded with a hearty, "And proud of it, baby!"

After hearing that retort one too many times, they've stop accusing me of being mean.

I kind of miss it.

Too funny, Jannymae! Sure, you're gonna let them play with dart guns when his friend's parents say no.

I say a lot of crazy things to my kids. I get away with it because they KNOW I love them to pieces. Parenting is a tough job and I think the only way to survive it is with a little sarcasm and a lot of humor. :)
