I have noticed something.
It appears that my children don’t value the same things that I do.
I have made a list of these things:
- Sleep.
- Quiet.
- Bath.
- Brushed hair.
- Brushed teeth.
- Coat.
Each of these things I hold dear. Each of these things my boys fight.
They seem to value OTHER things.
I have made a list of these things:
- Staying up late.
- Screaming.
- Making a mess.
- LEGOs.
- Weapons.
- Crocs.
Do we all really share DNA?

Um…yeah, that’s my kid too. Exactly.
Oh crap. This means it doesn’t get better.
Well, even if you don’t share DNA, there’s no denying they’re DOLL BABIES!
Those are three cuties!
today i am ready to destroy all nerf guns. and legos. freaking sick of them.
Hmm… what’s Blog-Stedman like? Maybe these are Y-linked traits.
They sure are cute.
you know what, it’s sadly the curse of parenting…
Well. This is exactly how I feel about my daughters. I love them just the same though.
I’m the oldest of 4 and the only girl. I wanted a massage and a manicure for Christmas and my brother wanted a shotgun. I’m pretty sure we are related. It’s so strange how things like this work out.
Yeah, I think the DNA goes a lot of morphing at this age.
At least, I’m hoping for that.
I’d have to add shoes to the list of things my children don’t value. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve reached the end of our street to have to turn around and drive home because someone forgot their shoes.
