Dora was, first and foremost, thankful for her mami and papi. Is there anyone in your family that YOU are thankful for, reader, she asked? Nope. Not one. Daddy prompted her to say Mommy. Nope. Definitely not her. <br /><br />Nice.

By elementary school, it was a good day if everyone was dressed in clean clothes, had eaten something at sometime, and we hadn't visited the er. Middle school expectations were lowered to "beating them is illegal". They made it through high school with no police records, pregnancies, or communicable diseases. Ah-ha! Success! 3 of the older 4 are in college and our 'lil oops is a fifth grader. We've come to actually LIKE the older 4 again, so I'm going to take a break and let them raise her. They certainly aren't shy about pointing out any and ALL mistakes we may be making in her life vs theirs. I'm not sure we even qualify for type B anymore. Grandkids may be the best revenge after all.Borgstahl7https://www.blogger.com/profile/17296024298339150576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35507576.post-18726293602017156212009-07-06T15:09:40.706-05:002009-07-06T15:09:40.706-05:00Me too.

We may get slugged the first 100 times but eventually it may catch on!<br /><br />And, I sent this to Subspace, but since Maria also asked, I'll post here what I wrote:<br /><br />Their chores are pitiful, miniscule, teeny tiny easy things which is why it drives me crazy they can't remember them. (the stuff in parentheses is what I tell them almost daily)<br /><br />1. Get dressed (dirty clothes in hamper)<br />2. Brush your Teeth (preferably wipe up the spit toothpaste and put things back in the right spot)<br />3. Make your bed<br />4. Eat Breakfast<br /><br />I was paying them a dollar a week, but as a Type B mom, I not only forget to pay them, I also borrow money out of their little allowance bags all the time.
