The other day I walked into my kids' bathroom and KA-BOOM! Stuff was everywhere. Eye care stuff... tooth brushes... tooth paste... deodorant... Holy Cow! Most of it was from my oldest. So I lovingly, yeah right, called him to come clean up the mess. Which was promptly met with a "WHY"? I happily responded with a "Because..." but then added, "because, one day your future wife will thank me."
Huh?!
That's right. In the mist of all this parenting stuff that's what I am raising, a future husband. I think as moms we forget that's what we're doing raising future men. How do they treat others? Is that the behavior of men? I had a friend tell me, how her son doesn't do chores because he claims none of his friends have too. WHAT?! Lord, help that future wife. : )
We are still a year from our oldest being a teenager. But, if the past 12 years are an indication, it won't be long before I'm wiping tears from my eyes as "Here Comes the Bride" is being played.
