I am a planner and find that people in turn think that I have everything planned and ready to go, so no one volunteers to help to do anything for me. Mom is the same way.

With the potty thing...this won't last. Figure out some way to work around this, maybe she earns TV time/trip to the beach/other incentive for peeing by herself for a few days. Or loses a privilege if you have to go with her.

And then, by the time we really need help, we are so upset/angry that we scream at the kids or husband! The other day, I was just done. We had a fun filled day, but I was exhausted. Obviously my kids were too, because on the way home my daughter peed in her pants while sleeping in Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3100658157604879121.post-47564502815554743672010-06-01T13:17:10.251-04:002010-06-01T13:17:10.251-04:00Oh, I so get it!

I'm learning (sloly) to save the yelling for the things that really need yelling, but it is difficult. <br /><br />I'm not good about asking for help either. Mainly because the help I get is probably not how I would do it & I get even more frustrated!<br /><br />I send Theresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17607112035335993070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3100658157604879121.post-58060272401975874772010-06-01T11:48:53.749-04:002010-06-01T11:48:53.749-04:00Well, I think you are A super mom, even if you thr...Well, I think you are A super mom, even if you threaten to pee on Biscuit.

Mom called repeatedly to say the fire department evacuated her house b/c another house on another block is on fire and mom is worried about her cat. I called the fire department to be the voice of reason and calmly give them her cell phone, addressAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3100658157604879121.post-5633720237410425012010-06-01T10:16:09.398-04:002010-06-01T10:16:09.398-04:00OMG Amy!!!
