There goes my mother of the year award: Example 352
Marco walks Annabella to school on Wednesdays, so as they were getting ready to go today I reminded him that Annabella's friend Chloe would be coming home with her from school for a playdate and if Chloe's mom said something about it then he should act like he knew what she was talking about so she wouldn't be worried.
For some reason I felt I needed to elaborate on this and give examples of what not to say. I can't think I'm the only wife who feels she needs to micromanage her husband's behavior in public.
"So," I added, "When she says 'Chloe's going to your house after school today,' don't say 'What, you mean our crack den?'"
And for some reason the phrase "crack den" seemed especially funny to all three of our children and then they began repeating and then singing it over and over again for nearly five minutes. Thankfully, after a few rounds it somehow morphed into "kitty cat den."
As a DH myself I'm somewhat disturbed by this post and a little amused at the same time. I resent the fact that I'm "micromanaged" but on the other hand I feel like I deserve it since I would need similar guidelines set out for me.

Sad. And you will be one of those mothers that blames everyone else when their children start using profanity in general public decrying that it must be someone else that taught your children filth like that.
