Thinking fast

         Kids can say the oddest things when you tell them to do something. My kids tell me, "I don't have to." or "I'm just a kid. I'm not suppose to." or "I don't feel like it." What? Their father and I are no longer together so his girlfriend will tell my kids they don't have to do any of that. What? I really want to know that who told her she could tell my kids they don't have to listen to me.

          I put my kids in their rooms. If they don't want to clean up after themselves they don't have to. They get to set in their rooms until they fell like cleaning up their mess. It takes about not even a minute. They don't like to have to set in their rooms.
