I'm mad

I find that I am just mad. Mad about the mess the kids make when they are here. How can they possibly bitch about the rule to eat in the kitchen, over a plate, when they don't FOLLOW THE RULE anyway?? I found a ruined towel stuffed in the closet today and nasty food garbage all over my car. Why is it that they think the world is their garbage can and I am the garbage collector? (I do not get paid enough for that!) They never get in trouble for not following the rules. I am just so frustrated and angry. I'm a yoga instructor for pete's sake, I should feel all blissful and relaxed not like I want to shake people!!

ridiculous, mean, evil, hateful, down right rude SM in the world because I make all my kids eat in the kitchen over a plate. You wouldn't believe the amount of howling I still get from them over this. One of them is even 21 and last time she sat there and cried because we wouldn't let her eat in the living room (big history with spilling stuff everywhere there), in our BRAND NEW HOUSE!!!! This has been a battle since the day they were welcomed into my house.

I thought I was the only one!

What is the big deal, seriously?!?!?! How hard is it to not be a barnyard animal? 21? So it never ends...What are the consequenses for their actions? DH says that we can't punish them for eating in the living room if we don't actually catch them in the act as we don't really know which one did it. Frustrating...

I tried to implement the extra work concept but DH is not supportive of this. His point of view is that they are kids and that's just what they do. In my opinion they are not "kids" anymore at the ages of 12, 14 and 17. Am I way off?

ok so DH says they are just kids....well my response to that would be , well when do they get to learn? When they are allready adults...??? You know the old saying you cant teach an old dog new tricks. Its so true...children are to learn when they are YOUNG..thats why we send them to school.........Men can be idoits!
