It finally happened to me… I guess I always knew it was coming, I said it to my mom…and I always said to myself "my kids will say it to me."
Today (after getting in trouble) Riley said "I don't like you mommy…Tater and I want a NEW mommy!" At first it took my breath away and I could feel the tears welling up. But then I thought... " I made that little brat french toast this morning!" So I said " Come here riley…what did you say to me?" Riley replied much less confident this time, "Tater and I want a new mommy!" {Notice how he was throwing Tate under the bus with him.}
I then said:
"You mean you want a mommy that lets you throw your Captain America shield in the house?"
…Riley said "YES!"
"You want a mommy that lets you eat cookies all day long?"
Riley responded "YES!"
" You want a mommy that lets you pee in the middle of the yard and push Tater over and lets you watch movies all day long?"
Riley excitedly said "YES!!!!"
"Well too bad your stuck with me! You don't have to like me…you just have to do what your told!"
Love this! Thanks for sharing! You made me feel that in this situation us mother's are not alone!
