Me too!!! Her kids are amazing!! Lol

This is how it for us when my mom comes too.

Same. 😭

Me too I left a message about her rearranging my kitchen when she visited. I be happy if she was around to do that now. I don’t think we will ever not miss our mothers

I have a 1 year old and my mom is ALWAYS telling my house is junky.... Like hello my kid loves to explore his environment and take things apart. It's normal. It will be okay if my house isn't perfection every single day

You can't say something like that without giving instructions for how to do it myself! Preheat? What temp? how many at once? I need details!

@@cruztastrophe right????? DEEEETAILS please!

Wait! What? That sounds amazing! Must have details please...

Wait....no way!!! Details plz.

Pre-heat to 425 degrees. Line your sheet Pan/jelly roll pan with foil or parchment paper and lightly grease it. You can use any store bought or homemade pancake mix that you’d like from what I can tell. I’m sorry, I don’t have exact measurements, I kind of just eyeball it! Bake for 5-8 minutes. They are done cooking when springy and a toothpick in the center comes out clean. Pull them out and brush them with melted butter, and put them under the broiler for 1-2 minutes. DO NOT WALK AWAY AT THIS POINT, THEY BURN FAST! Take them out, slice however you’d like while still warm, and serve! You could probably add any mix ins you’d like. Once they cook, they freeze nicely too, but I’d recommend wrapping the individual servings in parchment paper in the freezer bag to prevent sticking (:

Kelli Harrison, u r not alone!! I was thinking the same thing. That must feel really good. I know that whatever relationship we do hv with our kids (teens especially) they will love us even when they (think) that they hate us- they really do love us! Some of us (when we were teens) hv great relationships from birth and some of us do not appreciate our parents until we r adults!! Or parents ourselves. The later was definitely me. Which is a HUGE REGRET, for me. I hv accidentally projected my own teenage BS onto my 14yr old daughter. Because, well, she says that she hates me and I'm waaaaay too/more strict. A lot more than her friends parents! That's ok with me; I think that means that I'm doing my job. It's what works for me and my ethics/values, etc. However, my husband and I have started therapy for our marriage, family and personally too. Bcuz my 14yr old is extremely defiant to basically, JUST ME!! She's had a little bit of trouble and fortunately her consequences were not very stiff bcuz she was under the age of 13. Otherwise, she could hv had a permanent record! She has had mandatory therapy when these kinds of things have come up. But she never participates and therefore she doesn't benefit. Not once hv I ever had bad reports from any friends parents'. They ALWAYS compliment her; how well-mannered, helpful, respectful, gracious and kind.🤯🤯🥸 But here at home, not a chance. She has brought up so much from my own childhood that I had regretted. I was just like her!! Unfortunately for me that stubbornness/defiance eventually got me using substances to mask or deal with those things. In which my mom tried to get me to therapy but I refused. Just like my baby girl. I don't mean to project or spew onto you gals or my daughter🤪🤫🤐. But, I'm at a loss on how to parent this kid. NOT TO MENTION HOW SUCKY IT HAS TO BE FOR THESE POOR KIDS!! (During virus shut down)😬😬She's behind in school, only wants a phone without sticking to the 3 simple (well,to me) expectations that we hv for her : 1. School is #1 priority, period. 2. Attitude & behavior is consistent- to me(parents) and sibling). 3. Chore is done by the time we (family) collectively decided. She can NOT...ACTUALLY SHE WILL NOT be consistent for more than a week!! And, a week is being very generous. But, she wants a phone! I call the cell phone a privilege. She doesn't see it that way. She has had 3 of my old phones to use but all hv been overwhelmed and broke... her grandpa gv us his old iPhone to use and that died too! This turned into my very own therapy/venting session, didn't it? I sorry... I'm struggling with her. I don't want her making the same mistakes that I made. Consequences can be life changing and not in a good way. I just love her so much and she has her whole life ahead of her. That can all change with the top of felonies. And karma that would be devastating. I just wanted to reassure you that no matter what they still love you and your doing it right either way because you care. Thanks for letting me go off… lol LMBO SMH!! Any advice help opinions ideas would be very much appreciated if anyone gets for her enough through this post and read that all hopefully made some sort of sense Any advice help opinions ideas would be very much appreciated if anyone gets for her enough through this post and read that all hopefully made some sort of sense!! Thanks @FrugalFitMom ALWAYS admire ur energy, thought for detail (but in reality) not some "perfect" stepford wives world! 😜😜🥸 ALL MOMS NEED SUPPORT, MOMS SUPPORTING MOMS, UNASHAMED, TEACHABLE AT 43!! GOD IS GOOD🙏💜 NEVER GIVE UP!, HOPE

@@gmonkey12776 hi Gina, I would recommend that all the things you told us(your regret, your fears for her and feelings) you need to tell her. Sometimes we forget to tell our kids all this... for fear of showing our insecurities, but they need to hear this. They need to know that we love them always and that we are imperfect aswell.

@@gmonkey12776 working on yourself is important and her seeing that you are going to therapy too is hopefully giving her an example to be after. (Not just our bad behavior)

She seriously is such a good example of a mother (from what I see, obviously I dont know her). It seems like she's found that perfect overlapping circle between fun and regimented. That's a difficult balance! Kudos to her :))

@GinaKohl my boys told me they hated me. I surprised them with” YES! That’s means I’m doing my job right!” They we’re so shocked their mouths were hanging open. They thought it would hurt me! I have a good relationship with them because I always followed through with discipline and I was not afraid to say I was sorry. Apologizing meant so much for them! I had a son break his phone to get a better one. He was told that was the last phone I was paying for if it “broke”. Magically his phones don’t break at all!!

You're from minn....odds are increased. 😉🤣🤣

Thank you? Maybe I am missing something? Lol....my brain is a mess today! I mean we went from 70° and sunny to 25° and snow within 24 hours. It really messes with a person 😉

I'm in Iowa and thats happening to us tomorrow/tonight. 😭😭 I just meant Minnesota nice 😉🤣🤣. I think its more dependent if either of you got the "i hope you get a child just like you" curse tho. 🤷‍♀️🤣

Which way is right and which way is left?

@@traciwhiting2545 stand at the foot of your bed and it’s your right

That doesn't always work. My latest two sets they are on the wrong corner. And since the color is similar to others we already owned I ever know which they are. Sadness. I always tell myself to note it with a sharpie but that would be too easy. 🤣

@@julias7920 oh wow I haven’t run into any that don’t do that. That would be too easy 😂

Funniest thing is when “older people “ complain about sheets having markers what side is which. “We never had that when I grow up.” Like dude, sorry we have it sooooo easy nowadays?

Oh, the stories I could tell you...we would be in cahoots girl.

I love this. I'd do a button or snap though so it can't come undone and poke you.

#truth

I have a full box i hasn't tried yet. Making them tomorrow

@@nicolewaring8207 they are absolutely delicious. I prefer to make my own...but Ghirardelli is best boxed brownies by far.

My mom is the same way and I just let her go! And no one can clean our stainless steel fridge like her. 😂

Now this I would welcome. Anybody can feel free to walk in and clean whatever their heart desires!

You have to just accept help when it’s offered!

My thoughts exactly. They should feel lucky to be invited.

Her microwave is dead-dead 😬

@@HannahMattox true ... could boil water on the stove.

@@lindaburnside3832 right! Double boiler method!

my god this would drive me batty.

Also if it bothers her that much I really think she should clean it herself. It sounds like she complains about it, which is pretty rude as she's a guest in your home.
