My son is back to school today, so far so good.
Now that I have that child under control,
my daughter is annoyed at me, and I , at her.
My one sided view of the situation
would have each you commenting,
all pro me,
as I'm sure her recollections
will have her friends saying,
my mom drives me nuts too.
The crux of the matter is
I feel unappreciated and disrespected,
and she feels, well , in truth , I don't know how she feels.
I apparently annoy her, at the moment.
My husband will grin when I lament my woes this evening.
You do know, you are exactly the same, he will say.
And I will begin to object, but I don't have a leg to stand on.
In my next life, I'm gonna re think this kid thing.

I find myself doing more and more things that my mom did, and that annoys me to no end. Perhaps your daughter is feeling that way as well? It's not necessarily a bad thing...
Mothers and daughters are a unique entity. Just when we think we have it all figured out, one of us does something to ruin it all, for the time being anyways.
If anyone told me I sounded/acted/reminded them of my mother, I'd have to curl up in a ball and cry.
Hang in there, Hope! I'm glad your son went back to school. How is he going to take his notes?
I feel your pain. Sometimes when I open my mouth and am speaking to my boys, I hear exactly the same words my parents said to me....scary, down right frightening.
but that cant be all bad....myself nor my brother and sisters have ever ended up as drug addicts or in jail, we all seem to okay with only a small level of family dysfunction.
I find myself saying things my mother said also, but I loved everything my mother ever said about life.
Oh I hear you. And my Daughter is still a Teenager and I annoy her by just being me.
My condolenses...but this too shall pass.
I would re think the kids thing too but I would have nothing to worry aobut then and I would be RICH. What fun is there in that?
yes we would definately rethink the whole kid thing ourselves and with five i think we wouldnt need to rethink very much at all
And think...you were in a hurry to get home. Heh..
What it really is about is that those we love more than life itself will always have the power to frustrate us to no end.
And unfortunately understanding the frustration and ourselves in that moment..rarely prevents us from feeling it all anyway. Good luck.
Very understandable Hope....and I agree with Oshee...those we love seem to have that ability to frustrate us to no end. And yep, mothers and daughters...well, there just isn't that much you can do about it. I hope its all better by now...
