Principles of Motherhood
1.
Motherhood
~~ If it was going to be easy, it never would have started with something called
labor!
2.
Shouting
to make your children obey is like using the horn to steer your car, and you get
about the same results.
3. To be
in your children's memories
tomorrow, you have to be in their lives today.
4. The smartest advice on raising
children is to enjoy them while they are still on your side.
5. Avenge yourself ~~~ Live long
enough to be a problem to your children.
6. The best way to keep kids at home is
to make the home a pleasant atmosphere ~~ and to let the air out of the tires.
8. Raising a teenager is like nailing
Jell-O to a tree.
16. There are three ways to
get something done:
Do it yourself, hire
someone to do it, or
forbid
your children to do it.
29. Kids really brighten a household;
they never turn off any lights.
You Know You're a Mom When ...
1. Your feet stick to the kitchen
floor.....and you don't care.
2. When the kids are fighting, you
threaten to lock them in a room together and not let them out until someone's
bleeding.

How To Know Whether Or Not You Are Ready To Be A Mother
Mess Test:
Smear peanut butter on the sofa and curtains.
Place a fish stick behind the couch and leave it there all summer.
Toy Test:
Obtain a 55 gallon drum of LEGOs (if LEGOs are not available, you may substitute roofing tacks). Have a friend spread them all over the house. Put on a blindfold, take off shoes, go barefoot. Try to walk from bedroom to kitchen then to child's rooms. Do not scream (this could wake a child at night).
Grocery Store Test:
Borrow one or two small animals (goats are best) and take them with you as you shop at the grocery store. Always keep them in sight and pay for anything they eat or damage.
Feeding Test:
Obtain a large plastic milk jug. Fill halfway with water. Suspend from the ceiling with a stout cord. Start the jug swinging. Try to insert spoonfuls of soggy cereal (such as Fruit Loops or Cheerios) into the mouth of the jug, while pretending to be an airplane. Now dump the contents of the jug on the floor.
Night Test
Prepare by obtaining a small cloth bag and fill it with 8-12
pounds of sand. Soak it thoroughly in water. At 8:00 p.m. begin to waltz and hum
with the bag until 9:00 p.m. Lay down your bag and set your alarm for 10:00 p.m. Get up, pick up your bag, and sing every song you have ever heard. Make up about
a dozen more and sing these too until 4:00 a.m. Set alarm for 5:00 a.m. Get up
and make breakfast.
Keep this up for five years. Look cheerful.
Physical Test
Obtain a large beanbag chair and attach it to the front of your
clothes.
Leave it there for 9 months. Now remove ten of the beans.
Final Assignment
Find a couple who already have a small child. Lecture them on how
they can improve their discipline, patience, tolerance, toilet training and
child's table manners. Suggest many ways they can improve. Emphasize to them
that they should never allow their children to run wild.
Enjoy this experience. It will be the last time you will have all the answers.
Happy Mother's Days to my friends and mothers.
