Ungrateful Child

Dear Three Year Old Daughter:

I made you.

I brought you into this world.

I SUFFERED for 9 FULL months of extreme nausea and taking cancer patient medication so I could keep down a glass of water and maybe a piece of bread here and there. (I had Hyperemesis Gravidarum -- not pretty)

I got stretch marks on my BOOBS.

My body is no longer recognizable to me.

I got up in the middle of the night, constantly, to breast feed you.

I went into debt for you. Kids are downright EXPENSIVE (especially when there is no such thing as true "paid maternity leave")

I gave up a room in my house for you. I gave up a neat house for you. I gave up ever sleeping in again until maybe after 2023.

You are my greatest love and my blonde fluffy little "rump roast" and I'd throw myself in front of a speeding train for you.

And you make THIS??????????

I'll remember this when you ask if you can borrow the car. MARK MY WORDS!

(oh, and your father? he's not 'all that' -- he's just the SOFTIE you have wrapped around your little cute baby girl fingers)

Cheers! Heidi

Aaaawww.... Dont' worry - you can hold that over her for the rest of her life. Every time she makes you feel bad (once she's mature and gives a crap) you can show her that.

Boy do I EVER need your help Dr. Phil!! : ) (can I add on a few other issues also??)

Oyvey! I can relate. Glad I'm not alone. Thanks for sharing.

I have two boys, 8 and 6. I know that they think that all the time, especially when they say "you're a mean mommy!!!". When I hear that I know I've had a good day LOL

I'm quite certain I made a similar picture. Probably after I broke my mom's nose. Poor woman. But we're friends now. And she's looking forward to me getting my just reward...once I have a little one of my own.

Hmmm... Wait till they're 20!
OooyVey is right!

Mom who did it alone and paying for it now.....

I laughed out loud when I saw that picture. I feel your pain. My 2 1/2 year old son is so mean to me and thinks his dad is the greatest guy in the world. "Leave, Mommy, I'm playing with Daddy."

gee, i cant wait for motherhood ;)

In the past, I have been made 2 or 3 of those pictures by my (now) 7 year old. If I were an incredibly organized person, I would file these away until the days right before her prom or wedding or some really inappropriate time. Uf da, I guess I need a session too!!!!

That's the funniest thing I've read all day ... kids.

it's amazing how cruel a toddler can be. but when they get over it and give you that big hug & kiss, well, what can you do but love them and wait for the next adventure in parenthood.

Eileen -my mom still has all my "i hate you" notes....I don't know why she keeps them....but she does!!

Sandi - thanks for sharing. I hope to get back in the 'favorite' cycle soon!!

I have tears in my eyes right now from reading this, but a smile on my face for I see I am not the only one! I am at my wits end with my 16 year old. I am trying to parent her after a car accident and head injury. which never got better. i WENT FROM A NORMAL PERSON TO SOMEONE WITH AN EXTREME DEFICIT PROBLEM AND SHORT TERM MEMORY PROBLEM. i CRY ALOT! but Im still searching for help or an answer. My faith has been shaken but its still here.Remember never give up We love them no matter what they do good or bad

OMG! That's the funniest thing! My son is an eight month old ball of orneriness! He looks just like his father and is just as stubborn. AND he, of course, favors his dad over me. But, I KNOW, there will be a day that he will be Mommy's Little Man. Then he'll go back to being a Daddy's Boy and probably stay that way... oh well. He's still pretty special.
