Are you listening?

 Are you listening?

Really?

I see myself talking a lot these days but its true that I am repeating whatever I say as nobody is acting accordingly! This nobody I mean, is hubby and kids!

Like, gargle properly after you brush needs to be said a minimum of 4 times before that message goes in! Put your dress in the laundry basket, eat properly and keep your books the previous night all fall on deaf ears! There is no action so I think they haven't even listened!

It becomes worse when they are in front of the TV. I am like an idiot talking to them but they are the ones in front of the idiot box! Whatever I say, I get silence!!

Even hubby is that way! But when they call me, they expect me in 2 minutes and make sure that I do whatever they ask me for!

A first time well executed instruction is almost an impossible phenomenon! And they say women talk a lot! No, women REPEAT!

There's a saying, even walls have ears! May be, its true in a mom's life because at least the walls will listen to me and reply one day!

An exhausted mom!
