Jan. I know you won't smoke. Those were the words of a mother who has had enough. I've said them enough myself.
Ok..this is mommy and no smoking talk here.. from one mother with the generation gap in her house to another.....We have often talked of how we are too old to deal with this younger generation (even though neither of us is old) but we just have to keep doing what we know is best for them in spite of theirselves and hope and pray some of it sinks into them. When my older two were little I could take them anywhere and not worry about their behavior. Sit meant sit and no meant no. The youngest is an entirely different story. A cute, smiling, hateful, mean monster but we love him anyway. Smoking will not help a thing and you know it. I agree with Duffis - a good spanking has always helped my children, even the monster.
Being the mom, doing your best to make something special for your kids, just to have someone else come along and effortlessly do it better....ouch! Been there done that and I know that hurt. Keep giving your very best. When people are unloving and unkind, love them anyway. That is all you can do. We all know that smoking will not help. Hang in there MOM...eventually they grow up and move away :p
