The Motherhood Blahs Pt. 2

Kids are con artists. I still think parenting is the hardest job ever, but these kids are lazy. My middle one is on lockdown this week because of the attitude. Disrespect of momma is not allowed in my house. My  husband, "The Enforcer", does not stand for it. We had a conversation with him about school work. He thinks school is hard. umm I remember waaaay more homework when I was in high school. He thinks homework should take 10 mins, then chill time the rest of the night. No baby, it doesn't work that way. When he applies himself he does a great job, when he doesn't it shows. It doesn't come easy for him, but defeating yourself before you try is not an option in my house. You will try and if you think it's hard, you must try harder. That's life, I'm not going to sugarcoat it for him. If I did, I would be setting him up for failure. I wouldn't be doing my job as a mother. I know that I will get the blahs sometimes, wondering if I'm doing the right thing for my kids, but then I realized I think I'm doing a pretty good job.
