The sweet sweet irony!

My mom was a stay-at-home mom. When she had me, she had big dreams for me. She wanted me to have a career; be an important woman; manage an army of people and most importantly, be independent. I disappointed her on all counts.

Well, anyways, she is back from Ottawa and she is disappointed again. She couldn't understand why I didn't get the boys to help me clean up?!

This is rich...coming from a woman who didn't let her kids do any chores because she felt that they would have the rest of their lives to do chores. She wanted us to focus on our learning and we did! She wanted us to have fun and we did! My brother and I had a wonderful childhood and teenage.

Now that we are grown up, we do all the chores and more.

And I do believe the boys will do them as well. Eventually, we all become glorified maids and man servants in our own homes! However, I do understand where my mom is coming from. It is not really disappointment; it is genuine concern. And I appreciate it. Hopefully, the boys will understand where I am coming from if I ever complain about their choices in the future.

Till then, let us all live and let live.
