ITS OFFICIAL I HAVE BECOME MY MOTHER!

My mother is a feeder. Any problem big or small can be fixed with food. During the past 8 years of my journey into motherhood I have discovered little clues along the way that I am turning into her...

"Dont make me come up there!"
Really? I am not going to walk that far. Much too tired and stressed out. I will only go if there is blood or someone has a 40 plus fever.

"Just wait until your dad gets home!"
Really? Right at this moment he is having after work drinks at the Baron celebrating a new investment banking deal. When he gets home he will be a friendly teddy bear. Jip the kids know it too...

"MOM!!!! I am calling you are you deaf? You are not that old..."
Yeaks sorry Armin I didn't hear you.
" Don't talk to me like that! I am your mother for Pete sake!"
"Mom can I have sushi please?"

My 7 year old is addicted to salmon rainbow rolls. 8 is not enough he always negotiates for more. I have tried to explain that sushi is an expensive treat not an everyday fish finger experience. Didn't work... Every second day I hear Mom, can I have sushi please?

I tell myself that it is a great thing.

1. He has overcome his 7 year fussy eating period
2. Sushi is much healthier than pizza or chicken pops
3. He is experimenting and discovering new tastes and cultures

Really?

Armin, lets have lasagne instead how does that sound? Is it ouma's lasagne or Woolies lasagne?
It is ouma's lasagne, I promise.

Mom I think ouma's lasagne is the best in the world!

I agree.

"Mom can I still have sushi for dessert?!"

TGIF!!!!!!!!!

Have a super weekend...
