What to expect when…

April 26, 2011 By Mrs. Mom Leave a Comment

Wow! What a day?! It was an action packed adventure. There were ups and downs. I had me a couple ins and outs. As I sat down tonight, with all of the kids asleep, I wondered if there is a seminar, book, dvd, or cd that could help us when it comes to raising our kids. I remember that book “What to expect when you’re expecting,” or even “What to expect during the first year.” Those are great books, but there should be one called “What to expect when parenting…period” Let me tell you, I need a copy! It should say something like…
Expect to be challenged
Expect ups and downs
Expect messy clothes and poopy diapers
Expect dirty faces and possible poopy hands
Expect booger eating
Most of all expect the unexpected…

Man, what is a mom to do? I just know that there should have been a class in high school that would give women a realistic view on raising children older than one. Now, I love my children, I am just tired. Honestly after a day like the one I had…I should be tired. I must say, I am learning what to expect from my children. Maybe I should write the book…What to expect when parenting…PERIOD!!!
