Why, on days you can sleep in, do the children wake up at least 30 minutes earlier than you normally would on a busy day? Why is it that when you are in a great mood they listen and behave perfectly, yet when you are having a horrible day and need them to behave, they act like they were raised by a pack of wolves? Because they are psychic...or they are secretly plotting against you!
Being a person with a chronic illness makes the above scenario even more frustrating. I have to admit...I admire, and send my deepest sympathies, to all those working parents out there! When my daughter was born I was lucky enough to work from home, because of the MS. When I was pregnant with my son I was laid-off. Yes, the company laid me off when I was 6 months pregnant so they could give my job to the General Manager's son who could not find a job in the failing economy...but that's a story for another day. Back to my point - I have a hard time taking care of all the household duties as well as the kids and their schedules without working a full-time job. To me it is unimaginable, even physically impossible, how working parents manage to get everything done in a 24 hour period AND manage to get at least 1 hour of sleep per night, even when having to deal with "psychic" episodes! And come to think of it, I swore one time when I woke in the middle of the night I heard the two of them talking in Mayhem's room...maybe it's time to buy that video Barbie...
