Not to be a Debbie Downer, but if you are a stay at home mom, and your tiny kids have deplorable behavior, where do think they picked that up? The local watering hole?
No.
From you.
Don't act like you didn't notice.
The waking up in the middle of the night to pee in someone else's bed.
The complete disregard for rules and authority.
The stepping on siblings.
The running out the door in the middle of winter with a shortage of pants and sans shoes.
Running up and down the aisle at Mass.
The cutting off all your hair and shoving it in your jewelry box so you can "make stuff with it." (Like a yo-yo, obviously.)
The jumping off tables and snapping your forearm.
Get it together mamacita, so your kids can have a fighting chance to be contributing members of society.
<333 ...and the other stuff too (like their super sweetness). Gotta take the bad and the good, I suppose...
ReplyDeleteyes, i'll take the blame for my girl's future behavior...but on second thought, that watering hole is looking pretty darn guilty. by the way, i nominated you for a liebster award - http://beaninloveblog.blogspot.com/2013/03/liebster-awards.html
ReplyDeleteyou really, really, really need to get to writing some more (in all your 3-kid-free-time) because i really, really, really love reading and i really, really, really need the laughs. thanks. :)
My problem with this is it doesn't account for original sin. Baptized or not, bad behavior does not have to be learned.
