Nicole Johnson... yawn. Lady, your kids don't need to build a shrine for you, because you are building one for yourself. Motherhood martyrdom is so boring. You're hoping your adult children will want to come home for Thanksgiving to eat your fabulous, self-sacrificing food and wipe it from their mouths with an ironed napkin? I'm hoping my grown-up kids will want to come home for the holidays because we will all sit by the fire, laugh, play cards and tell stories. I guarantee you that they will want to come home because there is more love in my home than there are people to give it to...not because I lost all sense of self the second I became a mother. And if your husband ignores you at a party, it's likely because you have been ignoring his requests for some adult conversation and fun ever since your kids came into this world. You teach people how to treat you. And you teach your kids the way they expect to be treated when they become parents. Well done. Having to choose between being a mother and being a respected and wholly fulfilled human being is completely baffling to me.
Love,
Tiffany
PS I haven't showered today, and I am wearing 3-day-old yoga pants, flip flops and my husband's 8th grade football t-shirt. But I also know it's a choice. Just like when you choose to have your hair smell like peanut butter. You're such a drag.
Ok just read it. When my kids ignore me I just threaten them. They are scared enough of me to acknowledge my presence 65% of the time and I say success.

A little frightening is way better than invisible! This clown managed to convince her 5-year-old (the age in which most kids think their Moms are beautiful, all-knowing princesses) that she is completely irrelevant. Maybe she was too busy ironing sheets to notice.

Noods,
ReplyDeleteIf you thought this grossed you out...I'm gagging. What a loser. There are no "cathedrals" being built if no one near you has a drop of respect for you. Take a shower. She has probably had sex exactly the amount of times she spat out one of those ungrateful monsters. Thus, her husband ignores her. Pretty sure she is the least sexy person on the face o the planet.
Love,
Katie
