As I was sitting at the computer today, my youngest daughter hugged me and said, " I'm glad you're not a mean mommy!"
My older daughter scoffed from the table, and said,"Yeah, except when she makes us do school."
My knight in shining armor, seven year Alex, came to my defense. "She's not being mean, she's just being a Mother!" To which Rachel replied, "Good point." I didn't have to say a word!
The funny thing is that my daughter is usually very compliant about getting her school done. I'm hardly ever "mean" with her. My son, the rescuer, is the one that might have a case for calling me "mean". Could it be that he's starting to see some point to my insistence that he learn to read and write? Maybe I'm not such a meanie after all.

I guess I'm not the only one whose child thinks they are mean for making them do school, lol.
I know my dd likes being able to read, but she'd rather watch cartoons all day, hehe.
