Yes, I am a Mean Mom.
I won't let you drive to work when it's snowing outside and the
town we live in forgets to send out the salt trucks.
I will pick you up at 11:30 at night because
the snow that fell earlier is now turning to ice and
the town we live in STILL didn't send out the salt trucks.
I won't let you drive to school when the roads are
still icy and it's only 11 degrees outside.
I will make you ride the bus so I know you'll be safe.
I will make you go to school when you say you're too tired from working.
I will make you do your homework and clean your room and
clean the bathrooms.
Everyone needs to know how to clean a toilet.
Everyone.
I will make you make your bed.
Even if you're just going to get back in it at night.
I will make you eat a good dinner and not have a bowl of popcorn instead.
I will make you go to church when you want to stay home and play on the computer.
I will make you study your math even if you
will never use it again.
One day you'll look back and see that I did all
this because I love you more than my own life
and you'll think maybe I wasn't so mean after all.

Hi Sweet Lois,
Good to hear from you hon!! I read all your posts but for some reason they have not been coming up on my dashboard.
Good for you that you are a mean MOM!! So was I!! Kids need a MOM not a friend, they have plenty of those...
and we have plenty of time later on to be their friend!!
Keep on being a mean MOM for like you said ONE DAY they will understand and ONE Day they will probably be a mean MOM or DAD!! lol
My adult children are at the point where they can appreciate the mean MOM they had.........Finally!!
I thought I was gonna have to die first!! lol
Well, not much longer till January.
When exactly is the big day of Phil's arrival or do you know yet??? I have been praying that he
would make it for Christmas. I know that would be the best Christmas present your whole family could get!!
Love and Blessings to you Sweetie
and May you have a Joyous Christmas Season being a Mean Mom!! lol
God is proud of you!!

I bet some of O's friends wish their parents were as 'mean' as you!! She and M are blessed to have a 'mean mom' who loves them so much; and I agree: she knows you LOVE her!!
Keep on keeping on, Lois, let the Lord be your strength; the Colonel will be home soon and you can step into the back-up role!!
Big hugs
