#1 A few months ago. We were at our ward party and Jake mentions to one of the Gals there that, and I quote "My mommy is the meanest mommy in the WORLD!" (this is because I told him he had to sit at the table and eat not run around while eating), he has continued to tell people this so the other night we were having dinner with Scott's family and we asked Jake if I was really the meanest mommy and he said yes, we then asked if Scott was the meanest Daddy and he said no, he if a good and fun daddy so then someone said to him, something to the effect of I'm sure you don't mean that I bet your mommy really is fun, and he says nope she's the meanest mommy. So I guess I have some major work to do!!!
(The good news is at the end of the day he still comes to me when he's hurt, or sad, and wants me to read him stories at nap time, and loves to give me hugs and kisses & he does tell me he loves me so maybe I'm not as bad as he thinks! :-)
#2 Since I'm the meanest mommy I'm going to share this one! While working out in the garage a few weeks ago Jake came running in telling us he had to go potty, after discovering that he only needed to go #1. I told him to just go in the backyard like we do camping on one of the trees, he told me no & I insisted since I didn't want to have to go inside, so he said ok. He goes out and stands about 2-3" away from one of the big pine trees in the backyard and assumes the position. Of course he doesn't think he needs to hold anything that "i"t will all be ok just hanging there, so I tell him that he has to point "i"t down when he goes potty so that he doesn't get pee everywhere. So I am watching from the garage when all of a sudden he lets go right in the middle of taking care of things. And before I can say anything "it" is pointing upwards and the pee is bouncing off of the tree and splashing Jake in the face. At this point I'm not going to jump in for fear of getting hosed myself, and being the good mom I am a stand there and try to hold my laughter in as I turn around so he can't see me, all the while Jake is sobbing. Once he was done we headed right in and got him all cleaned up. I think that is one day I will remember when he starts dating, if I don't like the girl I will share this little story and hope she doesn't come back. j/k

I'm so glad to know that I'm not the only mean mom. I'm also glad to know that I'm not the only one that won't let my kids run around while we are having a ward party or something to that effect. It drives me crazy that all the other chidren run wildly and the parents don't care!
