I have personally experienced the wonderful return of the mothers dreaded curse! My wonderful, beautiful daughter who gave me a run for my money raising her, has 4 children of her own now, ranging from age 11 to a new born. When my daughter was a teenager she was quite wild and thought she could do anything she wanted and that I was the dumbest person in the world. At that time I was holding a full time job, raising 2 children on my own and was struggling to make ends meet. A typical 5ft 3 inch, brown long hair, big blue eyes teenager! UGH!
Her wonderful friends, now there were a couple of friends she had that were very nice and respectful, but the other ones..... That is another story, too long to tell. But with the trouble she was in and the fact even cleaning her room was a chore, I was ready to pull my hair out. I finally one day blew and said, some day you are going to have children, and when you do I hope you have children just like you and even a little worse... I paused and though about that for a moment. Thinking I should take it back a little, so I told her I hope she had children just as stubborn as her. There I said it; I promised myself I would not do that! My mom gave me the curse too, so here we go again. I also told her there was a very wise person who said nothing is apparent until you're a parent, and that is very true.
My daughter grew up in spite of me and has a wonderful, beautiful daughter who is 11. She has beautiful long blond hair, big blue eyes, and towers over her mother. She is my precious little girl; she has made my heart melt with the love and kindness she gives out. But when she is at home, that is another story.. She does not clean her room, just like my daughter was. So last Saturday, my daughter told the children to go clean their rooms. The oldest grandson went to his room and got it cleaned up with his 2 year old baby brother, mom went in and vacuumed the floor and was very proud of them.
In the mean time my precious little granddaughter was rebelling and sitting on the living room couch watching TV. Her step dad and her mom tried desperately getting her to get in her room and clean it. After mom was done with the boys room, she and her husband went into the living room, picked up the daughter by each arm and escorted her into the bedroom and demanded she clean it so they could vacuum. They then closed the door and went into the living room to clean.
My awesome, beautiful granddaughter decided to let out a blood curdling scream that alerted even the neighbors. My daughter went into the bedroom and told her that was getting her nowhere with that attitude. Then a knock at the door, it was the police. They were summons to respond to a child being beaten or killed.
My daughter opened the door and started laughing, she said yes officer what can I do for you. The officer said that they had some complaints that a child was in danger there. She immediately went to the bedroom that my talented granddaughter was to be cleaning and told her that there was someone there to see her. She came out to the living room and there were the officers, they asked her if she had been beaten or abused in anyway, they looked her over for any injuries, then she had to explain why she let out that scream. She looked at them and said I did not want to clean my room and my mom was making me. The officers laughed and said you better start doing what your mom and step dad want you to do. She then went to the bedroom and started cleaning.
My daughter then called me while I was very busy and told me what happened and that I need to talk to her. I was laughing so hard remembering the day I gave her that curse, and hearing those words out of her mouth. I just had to say it, there was no getting around it, it just came out... I Told you! You should have listened to me! I gave you that curse remember! I told you someday you would have children and I hope they were just like you. She paused and said ok, now talk to your granddaughter before I do something like this to her! Do you think she will give my precious, beautiful, talented granddaughter this dreaded curse! Probably so.
