I Thought This Was A Free Country!

This came out of my daughter's mouth tonight. Summertime is moving slowly these days and my daughter and I seem to push each other's buttons on a regular basis. I had to sit her down and explain that life in our family is NOT a democracy...it's a dictatorship...and she is NOT in charge.

I'm not sure I'm ready for the teenage years.

As long as you pay your rent and insurance, it CAN be a free country. Just not for free.

Long live parental dictatorships!!

Glad to see you back, Mary. I've missed your multiple-personality comments!

About Me
I'm a wife, a mom, an educator and a normal (okay, relative term here) person who makes frequent mistakes. I have a lot to say, hence the blog. My kids were adopted as babies (one through an agency and one through the foster care system). I love to talk about adoption. My daughter has sensory issues as well as ADHD. I like to vent about parenting. I am occasionally rosy, usually blunt and sometimes I am simply downright rude. Don't read if it offends you. I may sometimes write about my school experiences so let me cover my bases. I don't live in your town, I don't work at your school, I am not talking about your child, you don't know me. If you think you've figured out who I am...ask me, I will lie and say you don't know me. email me at chocolatecoffeesleep@hotmail.com
