Most days there are only five fundamental rules that I have in my household (and most of them I’ve even communicated to my family)…
Rule number one – only one child is allowed to bleed and then only once a day. If more than one child bleeds, the second bleeder forfeits his next turn to bleed and bleeder number one is back in line to be the next injured. Should one child DARE to bleed twice in one day, he is forced to endure extra cuddling and coddling. If it’s serious enough, I might just cry.
Rule number two – mommy does not need anything before her children, except a cup (or 6) of Green Tea. There are no exceptions, even the breaking of rule number one. Mommy will do her best to ensure rule number two is set in place before anyone else is up and awake; however, there are no real conditions to this rule. Bonus points are awarded should a family member purchase a Venti China Green Tips Tea Misto and bring it to her.
Rule number three – all toys that spill out of the designated toy room area must be returned to their home before anyone gets to sleep. Should toys remain outside the designated toy room over night – the sweeping monster will eat them.
Rule number four – I can’t remember
Rule number five – family comes first. Also known as us against them. They are brothers, and brothers are forever. They will also eventually find out that we, as parents, especially me as mommy, have no idea what I’m doing and will institute a coup, or coalition, depending on which country you live in. We must remain person and person, friend and friend and husband and wife, and then will remain a strong and united mommy and daddy.
