Boy oh Boy!! It's actually snowing outside, yes they all said it was going to, heard about it all day yesterday. But did I believe it?? Absolutely not!!
So, my son was having a Halloween Party at his Dads's so he needed me to drive him there. It was snowing badly all morning, and pretty windy. As we left around 3:00, we did not realize there were large tree branches, all over the streets driving to our destiny. We had to stop at Shop Rite, again. As I sat there, I realized the streets were too bad, not even a plow in sight, branches everywhere, roads detoured off, etc. that I was going to go back home, too nasty out and unsafe to take the trip. Especially since the electric wasn't working, I doubt the party would still happen. When my son returned to the car, I expressed this and he was a little upset. No problem, I could understand being upset, he did shopping, etc and was really looking forward to it. But, it's not my fault the weather is like this, and the streets are terrible, no one even plowed or picked up random branches all over the streets. But still, he yelled at me because I was discussing how I listen to my children too much. True, it is, and I am so tired of it, they actually seem to have less respect for you if you ask their opinion, your suppose to be the mother anyway!!!
We arrived home, I came inside and went upstairs, and he seemed to get over it. But, he bought some chocolate when he ran into Shop Rite, I asked for a piece and guess what his answer was?? NO! I was appauled! Hello, where have you been my son? What have I just done for you today?? And your telling me you are not going to give me a piece?? Okay, so we know the answer to that, cut him off. Do not do him any favors by driving him and his friends all over!! Imagine? How selfish?? I just got my butt in the car, in the freezing, damp cold and SNOW to take you to Shop Rite again (we went last nite, he forgot something) in this weather! And he wanted me to drive further to his Dad's!! What is wrong with children these days?? He never use to be this way, he was always kind, giving, and loving. He would share everything with you, and now look, at sixteen years old, grown up, and he becomes selfish. But, this is the way children behave now. It does not make it right, and it must be changed. He needs to realize how selfish that was, do I do favors every day for him?? Yes, does he help around the home every day?? No. Okay, I have to cut him off and not do so much until he becomes kinder, more caring and sharing.
I was always a giver, a lessen well learned from my mother, God rest her soul!! She had seven children, and always taught us to be kind, giving, and loving to each of our siblings, their wives, and children. To never start drama, and never say bad things about one another, and to always help giving. And boy, how my parents were right. What else do we have in the world if we can not be kind and giving to others?? They are each a reflection of ourself, each of us needing love and support, and kindness from one another.
