Sassy Kids Take Over The World (my world)!

My house:

Me: Can you please hang your towel?

My Son (10yrs): Uggghhh Sigh Sigh Sigh Uggghhhh, WHY?

Me: So it will be dry the next time you need it!

My Son: Why?

Me: (I have now lost my cool) what do you mean why?

My Son: What?

Me: (In my head thinking seriously, this kid doesn't even remember the conversation) JUST PICK UP THE TOWEL!

Yes, at some point over the last year I have lost my children to an infestation of Sassy Alien Monsters (S.A.M.’s)! These new children have forgotten every household rule ever created, and instead have filled their brains with the more important facts of Mine craft creation, or the newest club at school! My kids have become defense attorneys! Always arguing their case, always defending their actions, always believing they are right and I am wrong!

My house:

Me: Sweetie could you please let the dog in?

My daughter: (silence)

Me: Honey, I asked you to let the dog in!

My daughter: I heard you, but I gotta finish this level!

Me: How long is the level?

My daughter: When I beat it!

Me: How long is that?

My daughter: I have never beaten it!

Me: (REALLY) Abby, let the dog in!

My daughter: (Explosion of fake tears) THIS IS SO UNFAIR! (Lets the dog in slams the door)!

 

My house has become more chaotic, because the children simply do not hear me and do not fear me! Even as I type this there is a fight happening, and as I try to assist someone (my daughter) is yelling over me the injustice! I am simply no help, because the S.A.M.'s have all the answers!

My house:

Making Eggs

Me: Can I help you?

Child: No, I know what I am doing.

Me: Are you sure?

Child: (Sassy, eye rolling) Yes

Me: (I go sit down)

Child: MOM, where are you? Ugh sigh! I can't crack the eggs!

 

Yes, at some point these S.A.M.'s have taken over! At some point I have lost control! At some point I have to accept that they are the spitting image of ME! Yikes! I guess it’s time to brush up on my parenting skills and prepare for quite a long invasion!
