Somedays I feel like handing my kids one of these

Dear Kiddos,


Effective immediately I quit. I can no longer help you because you are not nice to me and it hurts my feelings. You continually ask others for what you want when I say no. This is no okay and hurts my feelings. I do not like it when you spit, yell, growl, scream, whine, cry, or throw stuff at me. I feel bad when you behave this way towards me.

I love taking care of you, but I cannot do it any longer because you do not allow me to be Nice Mom. In order for me to get you to do anything I have to be Mean Mom. I do not like Mean Mom. If you need anything feel free to go to anyone else. I do not know how else to teach you appreciation.

I will no longer be performing these duties

• Taking you to school

• Paying for your fun activities

• Taking you to fun activities

• Picking you up from school

• Taking you to the park

• Making you meals

• Getting you drinks

• Washing your clothes

• Helping you pick up

• Teaching you fun new things

• Playing puzzles

• Making your beds

• Dusting/vacuuming your room

• Reading to you (including this letter)



When you feel like apologizing and putting your best effort into being kind to me feel free to let me know. I accept payment in the form of Thank Yous, Smiles, Hugs, and Kisses.

Love,

Your Former Mommy
