You would think with Christmas just around the corner that my children would be sucking up more. No such luck at my house. Looks like coal for Christmas.
Mom, I'm sorry for having been a teenager.

What does CG stand for? Originally it was Construction Girl based on my fun job experience as a technical writer for a general contractor and the work I was able to do on the job sites. But now it could be a host of other things: for my new career as a yoga teacher it could be Chataranga Goals, or maybe Cosmic Gypsy, or Curious Girl, Candid Gossip, Creative Guide, Comical Goober, Cheshire Goddess, Corona Guzzler, Certain Grabber...

Did I ever tell you my theory about adolescence? If they stayed as cute as they were at age 3 you'd never want them to leave. This way, it's "don't let the door hit you on the way out."
btw, I think it directly ties into the loss of belief in Santa... they are no longer worried about being on the "nice" list.
Ah, the mothers curse. It really does work.
Your mother cursed you and you no doubt will curse your children.
You know the one I mean. Go ahead and admit it. You've thought about it. Maybe even done it already.
"I hope some day you have kids that act exactly like you are acting!"
The curse is alive and well.
Good luck dealing with teens.

PS: Merry Christmas. If you need a good source for some coal, let me know.
You've figured it out Tag.
I promise that one day you will be glad that you did not kill them.
Apology accepted.
I have called my mother with the same question. Her comment to me was that "I have always loved you, but there were a few years that I really didn't LIKE you."
I think it was around 13 and 14.
My new rule: When they turn 2, stick them in a barrel with a hole in the side and feed them through the hole. When they turn 18 plug the hole.
It's hard to teach suck up. You think they will get it on their own but it's usually one of those experienced based lessons.
Gonna have to give the coal. Or the more environmentally friendly tree switches..
Merry Christmas CG!
