Image Credit - walknboston (Flickr)When I was a kid and Mom got frustrated by my failure to clean to her standards, she used to scold us by saying, "I'm not the magic maid!!!!" I really hated it at the time because (at least in my mind), I was a kid who just couldn't leave things spotless.
Now I find myself thinking the same thing! I haven't said it yet, but how far is the dishwasher from the counter by the sink? I mean really.
I'm sure I did the same thing when I was a kid so I guess it's payback time.
Still.

Oh, yes. We often (not always) get the children we deserve so we can continue the lessons we are supposed to learn in this life. I tell Luigi he is first in my heart (firstborn) and I tell Mario he is Mama's Love. Privately I call Mario the child I deserve. ;o
I'm impressed that you haven't said "I am Not the Magic Maid!" yet. I say, "because I SAID SO!!!' at least a dozen times a day.
We mothers do what we can.
I tell my kids all the time, "because parents often make decisions that seem completely irrational to you. It's our right and when you are a parent, you can do it too."
