My kids have been out of school since December 20. They were supposed to go back Monday, January 6. However, Monday was a snow day and Tuesday was a holy-cow-it’s-never-been-this-cold-don’t-go-outside day.
As I loaded some laundry into the washer on Monday, it hit me. I love my kids, but they are driving me crazy right now.
And then it snowballed (ha ha, some snow day humor for you!) from there.
I love my kids, but they need to stop whining.
I love my kids, but I wish they would stop fighting so much.
I love my kids, but if one of them tells me one more time that they are bored, I’m going to lose it.
I love my kids, but I’m going to scream if they make any more fart or butt jokes.
And, yes, before you pass judgment on me, I DO love my kids. But sometimes, sometimes, they drive me nuts.
So I hope you can get real with me. How do you complete this sentence, “I love my kids, but______” ?
Looking forward to your answers!

I love my kid, but I’m sick of feeling like I’m the entertainment director on a Caribbean cruise he’s enjoying.

I love my kids, but if I have to issue one more timeout I’m going to scream.
I love my kids, but if they whine for a snack for the 100th time, I’m going to pull my hair out and lock myself in my room.
I love my kid, but if we have one more potty training accident I’m gonna throw in the towel and quit this whole stay at home mom thing (not really, but it feels like it.)
Love this post. I feel like this all the time.

I love my kids, but sometimes I tire of being their chauffeur.

Amen! I use my driver’s license more than my master’s degree it feels like.

You are so right! I love my kids but they get on my last nerves sometimes. The worst is when they need me to referee their every move!

I love my kids but (in the voice of Lina Lamont from “Singin’ in the Rain”) “I can’t stand [them]!”
I love my kids, but I want to throttle them at least a few times a week.
I love my kids, but all that whining, complaining, fussing: “Mama don’ play dat!!!”
