Today they are fine..
Posted by ivy | Under Kids Friday Mar 31, 2006Tomorrow they aren’t..
While I’ve given up on the situation with my parents. I can’t just walk away. But I can ignore them and stay out of it.. At this point I think they both need a week in the loony bin if not way way way longer. It really is a wonder they’ve made it 26 years. Its been almost 27.. I said 25 the other day and my mother was quick to correct me.. And while my parents were good parents.. And always there for us and all that jazz.. This is still the cycle we lived with for as long as I can remember. Granted no one moved out until I was a teenager and moved out myself. (17/18 years old). But the love/hate relationship is something I’m very familiar with and it doesn’t hurt as bad as it once did. Now it’s become something you get familiarized with but something you can’t understand. How can two people do that to themselves and not just walk away.. It seems to me walking away would be easier than the constant bullshit.
Not much else has been going on in my neck of the woods. It’s been mainly dealing with my parents crud.. And the emotional stress they throw out from it.. By dealing with it I mean trying to avoid it. I’m not alone in that because my sister is trying as well..
My youngest(3years) is now obsessed with the idea of a new baby.. She wants to know when its coming. She walked up to me the other morning and said for me to come on lets go. I asked where to she said the Dr. I told her i didn’t need to go to the Dr she said,”Yeah huh” I asked why and she said,”So he can pull the baby out”
My son (5years) was quick to inform her it doesn’t work that way. He told her that I have to go into the hospital and I’ll have to stay there a few days and sugar just wasn’t happy about that! She said,”Me go wit you”
Sugar has also become a very funny Lil thing lately..This is a conversation we had the other day:
Sugar,”Mommy where the baby at? It still in your stomach?”
Me: “yes baby its still in my stomach”
Sugar,: “When it comin out?”
Me: “Not for awhile”
Sugar, “why”
Then we had this conversation:
“Mommy, can me be a mermaid?”
I said huh?
She said,”Can me be a mermaid, Like in thu waterrrrrrrrrrrr”
See 3 year olds can be a lot of fun.. When they aren’t throwing tantrums and yelling and screaming and trying to get their way in the middle of a packed grocery store to where every person in there thinks you are just the meanest person in the world because you wont shut that screaming kid up by buying her some candy..
I pray this problem with your parents eases for you!
That youngin of yours is gonna be a great sister! She wants that playmate now! lol She does not seem to be harboring any anger over not being the baby anymore and that is a good thing!
Sorry to hear your troubles aren’t stopping any time soon. Maybe your parents can soon realize they should leave you out of it.
cherish the time when they’re young. the older they get, the more difficult they become. heehee. well, in my experience anyway.
oh, the wisecracks they can throw at ya!;)
Every time I visit your blog I’m amazed at how level headed you are. Then I have to remind myself that I think this every time I read your blog.
It’s so nice to read about how much you enjoy your kids. I think you’re remarkable.
