Yesterday I coined "Parenthood Trauma" to explain how I was feeling about being Mom. Don't get me wrong, I love my kids, they are good kids, but WOW are they annoying!
(Whining has got to be the single most annoying, earsplitting noise on the planet. That could just be me, but I really doubt it. My nine year old whines, my three year old whines, surprisingly, my seven year old "drama queen" whines the least, she screeches! LOL.)
Parenthood Trauma is the opposite of childhood trauma. The kids are fine and think they are doing everything right! It's the parents who are being abused, neglected, tortured (with whining and screeching), etc... I am not making light of real childhood trauma, God knows, I've had enough of my own. I am just thinking, why do kids get to claim we damaged their lives, when they make ours soooo difficult sometimes?! That doesn't seem fair.
So in a fun and (mostly) joking way, I am making fun of the kids and ourselves! Life is too short to take it seriously all the time!! Laugh at ourselves and especially our children LOL!! Claim "Parenthood Trauma" go on strike for a night and let the kids deal on their own!
Have a happy, creative and inspired day!
