Oh Be Wise...Please

Do you ever get tired of being the 'mean' one
who is contantly ordering your children around?

Make your bed
Clean your Room
Practise the Piano
Is your homework done?
Do the dishes
Water the plants
Feed the dog
Etc.....

I tell my kids time and time again that


"It is not meet that I should command them in all things..."

They should be anxiously engaged in a good cause and

do many things of their own free will."


I know that my life would sure be easier
and maybe I wouldn't be called the
"Mean Mom!"



With the help of my daughter-in-law Aimee,
I created this for my home.

Do you think they will get the hint???

  3. OK Sabrina, you're a smart gal and I know that you know being called a mean mom is the ultimate compliment . . . even though it does get wearing after a few years, doesn't it?

    I used to tell my kids, "thank you" when they called me that, until I realized it made them madder?!?!?!

  4. Hey, let me know if the sign works! If so, I'll be wanting one for my new house. :) (And I never thought you were a "mean mom," just one with high expectations!)
