Today is the last day of school for Trevor, Mac and Brennah. I have mixed emotions about this... Alyssa is going to babysit for us this summer so the kids will all be home - which I'm sure at times will drive me nuts. The up side is that Alyssa will be available to drive the kids to their camps and different activities and I won't have to mess with that. Also - I would rather pay her than someone else. The trick will be getting Mac and Brennah to go to her instead of me when they want something or are having a problem. It will also be difficult to get them to pick up after themselves and not leave the house in a mess.
I have no idea how I managed to raise such messy kids... they have always been told (and we have made them do it) to pick up after themselves and take care of their belongings.... but should we have to tell them every day to pick up their stuff and pick up their rooms? For some reason I don't think that other people have these problems. I really think the kids (all 4 of them) would be happy to just play - watch TV and lay around all day long - with Rodney and I working 24 hours a day to make money (working at our jobs), clean house, cook, do laundry. I thought that Alyssa would be different after living on her own for 9 months, but it does not appear that she has changed. I guess I just don't understand how they can be so lazy and ungrateful for the things that are done for them and the things they have. How to I change this????
