Not My Child!

Not Me Monday

n

Welcome to Not My Child! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama. You can head over to her blog to read what her children have not been doing.

My child does not wet the bed. If my child would wet the bed, and I was out of clean sheets, I most certainly not just let my child sleep on the plastic mattress cover…for a few nights. All of my children always make their bed, and their room always looks like it came out of a Pottery Barn catalog.

My children do not ask every 5 seconds during our church service if it is done yet. My children sit quietly, sitting up straight, with their legs crossed at the ankles, paying attention to the sermon and cross referencing in their Bibles. They most certainly have never been taken from the sanctuary screaming.

My children don’t ask for food ALL DAY LONG! They eat during mealtimes or snack times, and don’t harass me for food every waking minute, and refuse to eat during mealtimes even though I haven’t given into them all day. My children always eat everything on their plate, and never complain about what is served. They are so excited to try new things.

My children do not start loud arguments with each other for fun. I have never heard them “cue” one another when one is not cooperating in the fight, just to move things along. (e.g. David will not say “Silje, you’re supposed to say: ‘No! You can’t take my doll!'” and then Silje doesn’t follow suit and scream that at the top of her lungs.) That would be very annoying.
