Talking to Myself

I narrate my life in my head a lot. I know it sounds weird and kinda crazy , but it's me. If you have ever seen the movie Stranger Than Fiction, it's kind of like that actually.  I debate every decision in my head until I am 100% certain it is the right thing to do. That isn't what I am talking about though.


Lately Sammy has been ignoring me. Nate always takes some time to process what I have asked of him. It seems like he ignores me too. Then there are the teenagers. I ask them to do something, they always respond with "Sure, mom" and then... they don't do it. I don't know which is worse. Actively ignoring or saying yes and doing nothing.

I have had enough, either way.

I need ideas on how to get them to listen, first time. Or at the very least acknowledge me when I am speaking to them.

I do the same thing! I used to say that I blogged in my head long before I had a blog. Sorry you're feeling ignored. Kids do that, I guess. I'm not looking forward to that very loooooong phase with my son. Hopefully someday they will better appreciate your wise words.

Also, in case you were curious, I posted Part 2 of my post that you commented on last week. It's about how we raise boys to be good men, and I'd love your two cents. Thanks! http://live-by-rule2.blogspot.com/2012/08/strippe...
