It's not fair.... stomps foot and walks away

I will say in all honesty that there have been moments in my kid’s lives; they are brief and fleeting but I am only human and they have crossed my mind when I’ve thought to myself shit you should have been an only child.

Case in point on the way to school this morning; all 3 in the back of course, Loghan in the middle Gabriel and Jesse each in their car seats on either side.

Loghan picked up Gabriel’s library book and Gabriel protested so I asked him to hand the book back, Loghan protested and eventually this led to him wailing loudly about how unfair I was and that Gabriel and Jesse get everything whilst he gets nothing (oh my child what a hard life you have), I calmly replied that yes his life is very unfair and he went silent.

This was one of those moments, and it made me think about all the moments I had as a child with my mother about how my brother got everything and I got nothing and life was unfair and he was the favorite, payback I suppose for those glorious moments of battiness.

I know now how my mom must have felt, I mean we are not well off but the boys have everything they need and we try to give them extras wherever we can, Loghan especially demands a lot of our time and constant attention, and the journey we have traveled with him has not been and is not easy for him or us, sometimes I feel like being a brat jumping up and down and remarking how it’s not fair…. But I don’t… because I am a parent, this path was given to me and I could not be more blessed even in these moments…

But sjoe please tell me I’m not the only one who has these moments.
