The quiet mouse

That’s just what I deal with.

Today I was told by my mother in law that the reason one of my daughters has started to bite her sister is that they have no structure.

That I have created monster children by not putting them in pajamas every night and letting them fall asleep in the clothes they played in.

Sometimes this house is so chaotic that getting pajamas on them is a struggle.

I choose to pick and fight my battles.

I have a daughter that gets easily distracted and upset if you try to push her into things. Sometimes we have to do that to get going in the morning.

Kids biting each other is something that happen.

I really don’t appreciate getting put down as a mom. I told my husband what she said and he didn’t say anything or react to it.

This family really has issues.

I just got a good job. I cried tears of happiness and I get dragged down by the person I just cheered with.

How is that right?

I turned my life upside down and found something that would benefit my family.

The chaos and unknown was temporary and were back on track for structure within our family.

I don’t need to be dragged down for my choices to better my family.

I’d loved to be cheered at for doing something amazing for my family.

We’ll find a new normal. We figured it all out. Just because I was out of work for a month and I didn’t crack down on what we did to a T doesn’t mean my children will be monsters.

I’m sorry but I know the monster in the family and it is her.
