There is something that I have been hearing that really bothers me. It is something that I truly can't comprehend, mother's that don't want to be around their children. What is wrong with our society when mothers don't want to spend time with their children? I have heard comments like, "My kids are on vacation next week, I don't know what I am going to do." "My kids are going back to school tomorrow, I can't wait. They have been driving me crazy." "I am sending my kids to my parents for 2 weeks, I have to get them out of my hair!" What has happened to our society where we can't get stand our own children? Why do we want to get rid of our children, why do we send them off for other people to care for? This saddens me so deeply. Are we so busy as mothers that we can't tend to our own children? Who do we blame when our children don't behave how we would like them to? Who do we blame when we can't stand to be around our own children? The blame lies on the parents, not the children. We need to wake up and realize what is going on and look at the reality of the situation. We are the parents, we shape our children, we are responsible. I can't imagine what our society is going to be like if this keeps up. To be honest, I am so glad that these mothers aren't my mother. Who would want to be raised in such a way? Who would really want to be "loved" in this manner?
I pray that these mothers wake up and face this very sad reality and start to change how they love and care for their children.

I couldn't agree with you more.
AMEN!!! I could NOT agree more! I have always been a payroll SHE, and its always bothered the HECK out of me that I couldn't be a SAHM.
I was just discussing this yesterday w/some friends. Children were MUCH better behaved when parents were able to raise them without so much gov't interference!! Where is that same gov't office when a child is really being mistreated or abused??? Swamped under too much paperwork!
I find that the reason many parents make those kinds of comments have not had adequate "down time" from the kids to enjoy them. I find myself "feeling" that way after being with the kids all day trying to entertain them, or having them argue too much, I get stressed. And often just need some time to destress from being around them too much. Make sense? Hope so....
I agree Jennifer! Our kids grow up fast enough on their own without us wishing them out the door. I get sad already thinking about the day when I will have no children in my house to make noise, messes and ask me a million questions a day.
