Joslyn being MOM

Well it is 11:00 AM and I am already a little stressed. I thought having Joslyn act as though she was mom for the day would be relaxing for me but I have to say it has been a lot of work. The boys are also being really bad today for some reason, So i have had to really get on them and had to take that from Joslyn and not let her tell them what to do. All she was doing was telling them to clean there rooms and I told them that is what they need to do but it is not happening.

At 9:30 Joslyn started off by cleaning the kitchen, she thought that was a lot of fun. She unloaded the dishes, loaded the dishes, cleaned the counters, scrubbed pots and swept the floor. She wanted to mop but I told her she had to wait on that and start on the dinning room. She wasn't very happy with that.

10:05 Started on the Dinning room. She is getting a little up set because it has shoes and toys all over the floor. I am thinking this might be working but we will see. I told her she had to get all the stuff picked up off the floor then wipe the table off, and Sweep the floor. (well she got mad with that and went to go tell the boys to clean there room and that didn't go over very well. I had to intervene and take over in that area)

She got the dinning room done kinda and moved to the living room and she thought all she had to do was pick up the floor. WRONG!!! I had her pick up all the tables and make sure it was organized.

SHE IS GETTING ALL UPSET!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

She is wanting to quit!!!!!!!!!!! Maybe this is really working

It is now 11:45 she is now done with the Living Room and Dinning room and I let her take a little Break. It took her an Hour and 40 min. to do the Living room and Dinning room because she kept wanting to stop and be done.

I am praying through this thing she is seeing that being the Parent isn't very fun. I just asked her if she likes being MOM and she just said yes. IS THIS REALLY WORKING??????????? I so hope so. She has to make lunch now and we will see how that goes.

2:10 pm
Well this afternoon has been interesting. She really liked making lunch. Then she cleaned up after lunch and didn't like it real well. She Put dishes in the dishwasher and cleaned the table and counters.

Bathroom and hallway were next. She hated cleaning bathroom she said it was nasty :) "Clean up boys pee isn't always fun, But that is what mom's have to do" I told her. She didn't like it much :) Then I looked in there when she said she was done and there was still stuff all over the floor and I made her clean it all up and she was mad. She said "I want to be done being Mom" I said "Mom's just can't stop being mom's when they don't want to be mom any more."

I had her rest for a little bit and now she is folding laundry, and she really wants to be playing with David, she is not very happy about this.

We will see how the rest of the day goes. We are going out to my sister's tonight for pizza, swimming, and fireworks. I am going to make her act as though she is me and have her fix plates and lotion everyone up for swimming and she will have to be the last one to eat and the last one to swim. I am hoping all this works. I may take her into being Mom for a couple of days if today is doesn't get my point across. She is having more fun then not.

Stay tuned for more Later!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
