How Moms Fuck Us Up

Mami: How are the girls?

Me: Good, they left with C after the party. N took all her new toys with her.

Mami: Aye pobrecitas...spending the whole summer away from their mom...

What I should have said: WTF do you want me to do? We can't afford summer camp in this pinche city!!! I just paid the nanny $800 last week to keep them with me!! WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT ME TO DO??? Should I quit my job and get on welfare so I can stay home with them? Then what will you be complaining about? UGH!!!!!

What I did say: ...

*smooches...not really emotionally well enough to deal with this shit right now*
----------
Good morning heartache
You old gloomy sight
Good morning heartache
Thought we said goodbye last night
I turned and tossed until it seemed you were gone
But here you are with the dawn

Well, I hate to play devil's advocate, but think about what's going to happen when YOUR girls grow up...It' s like I always say, people lose their minds the second they become a parent.

On the flip side, I know how you feel - but I have the kind of mom I can say what I want to. And then she fires right back, then I wonder why I was born, and then we just settle until the next fight...Is that healthy??
