Moms and Dads

I cannot stand to be touched while eating. If I have to hold a baby, I will not eat myself. I will wait until they are done and I can put them down. I have to sit in a certain seat every night with Chet next to me so that my chances of being malled are lower. Strange little fettish I have. I also hate to have to get up from my plate once I sit down. I make sure EVERYTHING is ready for dinner before I sit down (There must have been too many plates made and gone cold before I got to sit and actually eat). This morning at breakfast I made all the waffles and sat down before Cael had gotten his. I got up to get it and said, "Ah, I hate getting up while my breakfast sits there getting cold!" Caden says, "That's part of being a Mom. You have to get us breakfast. Too bad you are not a Dad!" Then Carson says, "nu-uh Caden. Moms tell Dads what to do." It made me laugh to see the perception of the kids. Caden felt he was entitled to my help since I was his mom, and as a Dad he didn't have to do it (which is SOOOOOOO contrary to what Chet's example really is!) and Carson thinks that Moms just boss Dads around. Carson might (wink, wink) be a little closer on his perception than Caden!
