I'm not sure how this is supposed to make me feel, but my kids are always praying that I can clean the whole house, just like their friends' mom. It is a daily occurrence around here for at least one of the kids to say that in their prayers.
I digress, I am not the best housewife. I hate laundry, I hate cleaning the dinner dishes, after all, I slaved away making dinner - I'm tired when I finish eating. There always papers stacked from Hell to Breakfast, and heaven forbid if anyone put their stuff away.
I think I might start praying that the kids help a little better. That'll teach 'em.
Most nights, my kids pray that the food I prepare "tastes good" and that "it's not poisoned."
ReplyDeleteAnd I finally had it with the after-dinner kitchen mess! No one leaves the kitchen until it's clean!
I know, I'm a party pooper. Bet my kids are praying everynight that I get lost!
Let me know if the whole praying thing works for ya!
Time for a FHE where you explain that prayers are most often answered through other people, and in this case, that's them!
ReplyDeleteBTW, tell Brett to help with dishes. Explain the "return on investment" principal... :-)
Maybe you can talk to Brett Chris :)
ReplyDeleteWell, Chris, I took your advice and I told Brett that he should do the dishes after dinner...the whole "return on investment" talk.
ReplyDeleteHe said, Tell Chris that my 'return' on investment goes to bed at 9:30.
I think that means, uh, no I won't do the dishes. :)
