Lowering standards….

Welcome to my the blog lamenting the need to lower my standards of how I parent and keep the house. I anticipate this to be a giant struggle for me…as I do not really know how to do this. I find standards and expectations such as “wipe your butt correctly” and “put your laundry in the laundry basket” to be reasonable. This is why it will be difficult for me. These seem like common sense to me. I have trouble when common sense doesn’t prevail. Just now I told my 12-year old “I am struggling with you throwing a carrot around the living room.” See? This is gonna be rough….. hoping for a silver lining to emerge  somewhere…   oh, by the way, the blog posts go from newest to oldest, so if you want to read from the start(ish), scroll down.
