I’ve often said that every day is Groundhog day when you’re a mom. One thing, in particular, that remains an ever present constant in my house is the struggle for my son to put on his shoes. Every single morning, we do the same thing. Wake up, get dressed, comb hair, eat breakfast, brush teeth, and the last thing is to put shoes on before we leave the house. Yet, EVERY.SINGLE.DAY, it goes something like this….
The fabulous Deva from MyLifeSuckers let me collaborate on this one which was inspired by this meme:
Apparently, it’s not just my kids. Do your kids do the same thing? Are we being punked? Is it Groundhog day? (Of course it is. We’re parents.)
An amazing thing was that my Mom could yell without actually raising her voice. It is still one of the unsolved mysteries of my life. It worked, as does this fun piece.

The mom guilt is the worst. But I wonder f they feel bad for being little distracted maniacs in the morning.

You hit it on the head. Today at the museum my husband asked our son how many times he needs to tell him to stop touching the glass… I replied, “about a million”.
