Growth Spurts and Yo-Yo Adult Children
Wednesday, May 21st, 2008
I swear I put close to half a bag of potatoes on for supper today and there still wasn’t enough. Other times I fire a few that are left over in the fridge only for them to shrivel up the next day. I suppose it’s better to put on too much but this is getting ridiculous.
Isn’t it strange how you don’t see how much your children have grown until someone else points it out? Mine don’t seem to like the attention all that much either. You know, “Oh my, how much you have grown! I remember when you were just a tiny little thing.” I must admit I have said similar to other children.
This year has had its share of changes and I had to struggle to adjust at times. The twins used to want to go everywhere with me, and now they don’t. They also don’t want to be tucked in anymore or snuggled much. The phone is ringing more and it’s actually for them.
Two of our adult children have moved back in (19 & 20) and one of them has two kids. The fact that they all eat like horses has been the biggest adjustment. I love cooking, don’t get me wrong but not all the time.
What do you think about me getting a couple of them to take turns cooking? I know I should have insisted upon it to begin with but onwards and upwards. Does anyone else have a rotating cooking schedule and if so, how is working for you?
