Today's live....
Welcome to parenthood Val!!!! You, actually with help from your husband, who we know you are with..and only " divorced" on paper for IRS purposes...will actually see what being a grown up parent with responsibilities is all about.
I..and millions of mothers do this every day!!! Day in day out... We get up with our adult child, make breakfast, shower, go run errands together! Then go to our volunteer job or ABA therapy, or shopping, or we go to any appointments we have, go to the park..meet with our friends for visits, shopping, play dates, attend speech therapy, visit family, make dinner, sit and practice a new life skill, keeping in mind ,throughout the entire day we are gently teaching, practicing, reminding our child about manners, proper behaviours and correcting poor behaviour, redirecting etc...Lots to do and we ALL do it without paying 2 other people to help!
If you require THREE adults and a floater ( Campbell) to help you every day......uhm... There's a problem.
I don't know any other mothers who make their other children move back home, leave their jobs to bathe their siblings and take over my role as a mother!
To hear you on the live today, acting like your taking on something.....unique!? Some hardship? It's simply being a mom Val... Which means ( in case you aren't aware...) That YOU actually have to put the needs of your child BEFORE your needs. It's not rocket science. That's why parents like ME use respite, for 4 hrs, once maybe twice bi-one weekly for our own Dr. Appointments or a much needed group discussion, or massage, etc... See..WE really work 24/7 and are real caregivers to our children.
You are fortunate Jessica doesn't elope, or eat the dog food, or play with knives, matches, eat the plants and sleep walk, cut or pull her hair out, ....etc...
You also have Campbell...whose generosity extends past you mooching a rent free place, which both you and Jessica mock online in whispers every chance you get, he still helps!
He cleans, he grills, he helps you with the camper, your garden, walking your dogs, babysitting YOUR dogs, and Jessica! You should be juuuuuuuust fine with Hannah and her girlfriend off away in their love shack by the beach for a week.
( Hopefully this will shine a light for those two and that freedom will get them away from YOU and doing YOUR job as a parent!) Fingers crossed.
Remember Val, you left your job to be a stay home full time caregiver and mother...so here you go!
Bless your heart...being all brave on today's live, promising your " viewers" you won't stress...as you glare over at Campbell.
We now know why All this week's videos are so behind obviously Val made sure Hannah has a stockpile ready for Val.
KARMA Val.
