And we enter a new phase...


My son rebelled last night. He's only 8 1/2...just seems too young. He wrote this letter after he felt "over-worked and under-appreciated", while he feels his sister doesn't have to do much of anything, chore-wise. He's right, of course. Alex does far more chores than Jami, but she's the baby after all.

So Alex came up with a new chore plan (that gma put in his head) where he gets paid per chore instead of a flat weekly rate. What a load of paperwork, I tell you! Oh, and he decided how much every chore is worth. Right now he's getting breakfast for all of us, so that's 75 cents. I guess that's reasonable.

Oh, the drama of being a mama...

BTW, can you believe the nerve of him, addressing me as "Missy" in the letter?!!
My favorite part: "I know I'm gonna be in trouble for this, so sorry."

Another BTW: I've never had a Brazilian bikini wax, just regular bikini wax. Wanted to set the record straight. I love the conversation that flowed because of that post! Funny.

  4. This is hilarious! He called you "missy"...ohmygoodness. Sounds to me like he's a man on a mission and definitely knows what he wants. Those aren't bad qualities when channeled in the right direction. :)

    Too cute, thanks for sharing!

  10. Oh, Missy, I hope you gave him a raise? What nerve it takes to not only ask for one, but threaten to call THE DAD just in case! Smart cookie.
