Is it Just MY Kids?

Can you not just LOVE your Siblings! Well I am not sure what the heck is actually going on lately in the #MartinFamdamily House Hold but slowly I am losing my Shyte! What is it with the KIDS! When we are out and in Public they like , your the best brother and you so awesome and lekker lekker fire cracker! But behind closed doors-OMG . You standing to close while I brush my teeth , can’t you sit on another chair you touching me , Don’t breathe your breath stinks , don’t talk you annoying , don’t sing it gives me a headache!! And its all blady 3 of them… School Drive is a nightmare too… just constantly moaning and moaning ! With the Renovating (which is a whole other story , or maybe its making them grumpy too!) , we are a little cramped in each others space .. so bedtime is a nightmare! Surely 2 double beds next to each other , is enough! BUT NO .. face the other way , does he really have to look at me when I sleep….for goodness sake you sleeping , you cannot see him!! AND don’t take anything form each others plate or sip the wrong juice or tea – its like they have been given the plague!

I wonder how long this will continue and will they ever actually LOVE each other. Ask one to help the other carry his bags from the car and you would think I asked him to do the laundry for the week… shrugging of shoulders and huffs and puffs. ITS YOUR BROTHER FOR GOODNESS SAKE! Please tell me I am not the only mom going through this, tell me they will one day love each other?

Its also coming to Mid-Term Exam Time and sjoe I think that most of us moms worry more then the kids! Also seen a few moms losing their shit with the kids … (Its Ok we only Human ) How many of you are studying just as hard as your kids – learning all over again the Flower Parts , Renaissance – (Don’t let them watch Marco Polo on #NETFLIX , thought I would check it out , WOW alot S-E-X , not for the kids at all!) , keep to the text books issued by the school, safer! I found this awesome site (especially for GR4-R7 kids), called www.SmartChamp.co.za run by a lady named Estelle . You will find a lot helpful notes and tests and even Exam Prep stuff. Take a look! Another good buy was on www.TakeAlot.com – English/Maths and Afrikaans Handbook and Study Guide ,I’m even learning.For the sake of our own sanity , lets help one another, you are gonna get those moms that won’t , cause they don’t want your kid to be cleverererer then theirs – but us KOOLmoms , sharing is caring! Bio-Strath #BioStrath has also been a winner in our House – table spoon after breakie and they Boys think they Geniuses

So just to let you know ,we all in the same boat it seems , keep your chins up , overdose on that caffeine ,wine or tea addiction and study!! Hope you all having a Super Month of May , Don’t let the winter blues kick in! Oh and send me some pics of yourselves watching the #RoyalWedding !! mel@cafcouch.co.za or send to my Facebook , Hope I can find my Wedding Tiara (been awhile!) Mel
