for my birthday... my son gives me... 15 'do it right nows'.. what this really means is.. he can't wait... he has to get up and do it right when I say so...
well... I am learning something about patience from this... probably something about mothering too... because... I don't want to use them all up and then need one... so it causes me to think about how much time to give him to do something...
like this morning I gave him a few tasks to do while I am at work and he wanted to know if this was a 'do it right now'... I say no, you have till I get home to do it...
I think too often I expect just because I am the mother that I expect them to do what I said right away... yet... do I do this myself? how often do I put something off... and think... just like them... as long as I do it... that should be good enough when I get to it... yet I expect something different of them...
I think when I have my new family... I will not expect right now all the time... I will be a little more gracious with the patience... and I am sure everyone involved will appreciate it...
I also think that I will learn myself to be a little more obedient to authority... and give some 'do it right nows' too...
