Finally a Good Mom
My son congratulated me on finally being a good mom for the day.
How crazy is that?
To my knowledge, I was a good mom just about everyday.
I mean, I had my moments like all parents do but I'm a good mom.
That's a fact I could bet my life on.
So what the hell was he talking about?
FINALLY. BEING. A. GOOD. MOM. FOR. THE. DAY

To give a little context;
I didn't want to watch him play Minecraft for the millionth time.
So when he asked...
I said 'later' as in 'when I get done working'.
But instead of there being a later, I kept myself busy with my work all day.
Outside of meal times - I stayed in the room.
Between the two of us:
That was one of the most productive work days I've had in a long time!
When I joined him in the living room he said it.
"Congratulations...You're finally being a good mom for the day!"
Shocked is an understatement.
He said it so intentionally.
It's like he'd been wanting to say something all day.
I felt like I was under attack by my own child in my home.
