How to Talk to Moms

Chapter One

What's Up with Mom?

{ Sometimes you think your mom is mean and wants to ruin your life. }

Sometimes your mom seems like the most wonderful woman in the world.

But sometimes you think she is mean and wants to ruin your life.

Really, it is both.

You probably think your mom is wonderful when she is doing something nice for you, like:

Helping you with homework

Letting you play all day

Reading to you

Taking you out to eat

You probably think your mom is trying to ruin your life when she makes you:

Clean

Rake leaves

Go to bed early

Eat asparagus

Or if she punishes you by:

Sending you to your room

Taking away your games and toys

The mom job is hard.

If you go to the dark side and cause trouble, she has to be tough.

So moms make your life easy and hard at the same time.

That's just the way it is.
