It was a bad week in our house and emotions were running high but the problems that we were facing don't seem like real problems. I say this on the comment from Expat Mum about needing to stop complaining about messy bedrooms. Complain.
I love those kind of problems. Messy rooms, broken pipes, cracked windscreens,exam dramas, dog chewed my homework. These really are "real" problems to the every day mom in the every day house. I like to think of myself as one of those every day moms.
When the s*it hits the fan though, I like to think I can handle it and take it in it's stride. It almost seems surreal though, drink and drugs and cries for help from one of my daughter's peers. Give me a messy bedroom any day.
An American mom living in the English countryside in an old listed property with her rooster and two chicks. The chicks are testing their teenage years on me and the rooster has a "farming" fancy now. There are three dogs, my feathered friends and a few other things wondering around the property...
I suppose I know what you mean. I've never really had to deal with a "big" teen problem, although a lot of my friends have. Not sure how I'd cope, although you just have to don't you?
ReplyDeleteYikes! I'm with you - I'd rather complain about the theromstat than deal with major issues. Mundane is divine.
ReplyDeleteThankfully just the 'normal' problems here....at least though if there is a 'cry for help' then that is a big start and a step in the right direction....
