even without cancer, parenting is frustrating

to say the least. Here is what I think:
1. Helping with homework, especially math, is cruel and unusual punishment
2. "Whatever" when used as the response to a question, command, etc should be banned
3. Don't these kids know that if they keep rolling their eyes they will get stuck that way?
4. I refuse to clean my son's room, however, I will be happy to post a "toxic waste dump" sign on the door
5. why is it that as soon as my kid needs a new winter coat the stores don't have any? Same holds with school uniforms.
6. I think my son thinks that instead of "mom" my name is "mom can I" or "Mom can I have"

I am quite sure there are others, feel free to chime in ;-)
