No Credit

Eric went right to the source after a little discussion we had.
It proved my point to Eric perfectly.
Eric, the dad, can do no wrong.

E: Kyler, who spends more time with you, me or mommy?
K: (without hesitation) You

Apparently,
when I help with homework,
read books, read scriptures,
teach him piano, help memorize scriptures,
help get ready for school and bed,
cook with, play board games,
play at the park, go to the library,
go on bike rides, talk with in the car,
it all amounts
to no time together whatsoever.

However,
wrestling for 5 min. with dad,
is all the time in the world.

Oh, the life of a mother.

That's funny! We are way under appreciated, until we don't cook or clean up one day then everyone notices us!

But then one day when he's 16 and gets in a car accident he'll call you, not Eric. At least that's the way it was at our house...

Haha. That is the truth! =) It is so funny how I never realized how hard being a mother is until I became one! I still have many many more years of learning exactly how hard it can be... but boy do mother's need to be appreciated more!
