Soooo don't understand why talking to your parents can be so aggravating... I mean these are the people that are supposed to love and support you. Yet, somehow they make me feel like a total idiot... amazing. I know they mean well, but seriously. My hope is that when my children grow up I will respect the fact that they actually survive outside of my care, and in turn, respect their chosen life choices. In the mean time, I make sure they understand that I'm here for them and they can tell me anything and won't freak out...
The lesson in the car on the way to school this morning was sarcasm, and not fighting/aggravating with your sister or brother. I'm sure my kids are like "OMG mom won't shut up again... Ugh". Oh well, I look forward to the time in the car so as to better educate my kids on why I said so... I realize I don't have to explain or rationalize. But I like to, partly because if people tell me something, I want to know why, and because I like to lecture, hehehe... I know that eventually some small part of what I say sinks in, but I also like to talk so its win-win either way...
Yep you like to talk ;-)
