So if all three of my kids misbehave and I tell them they cannot have McDonald's for dinner as promised, and they cannot watch any TV today, am I punishing them or am I punishing me?
I think I'm punishing me.
Especially because when I presented them with their bowls of Cheerios for dinner, they were thrilled to eat it. Far more thrilled than if the chicken fried rice I started to cook had finished on time.

Sometimes it's just hard to win, isn't it? :)
ReplyDeleteI know! I have done this. All set for the kids to chow down on some junky takeaway while I pick me up some Indian (drool) and then I have to cook cause THEY have been little turds!
ReplyDeleteWhat is with that?
Next time make 'em eat pure bran....
Indeed it is a shame that we appear to clamp ourselves into the same old straightjacket!

It's a lose lose situation, especially for you.
