Work work work is all you ever asked me to do.
I'm not your maid I'm your daughter.
For once in my life I want to be treated nicly by anybody in this world?
I never in my life have been fed or treated like a normal girl would be treated.
For once in my life I want to be treated like a normal girl?
Your making me mad inside my head but I never express it.
You know you have other kids why can't they help me.
I think you will make me blow.
Work work work is all you ever made me do.
I never even get a break.
I think at least I should sleep on something other than a straw mattress with sheets?
Work work work WORK!

After Glen and I started researching child therapists, reevaluated our chore plan, and wondered what made her think her mattress was made out of straw I noticed this inscription on the other side....

For about half a second, we thought that perhaps you had stumbled onto some of your old diary pages from your childhood.
ReplyDeleteAs the oldest child, we sure expected a lot of you-as you became our built-in babysitter, maid, dishwasher, chauffeur, etc.
We are almost certain that all the on the job training we gave you as a young teenager helped make you the Super Mom that you have become.
;-) Dad-Mom
lol! I'm with your Dad. That could have been something I would have written about my own life...good to know she's just an aspiring lyricist and not a disgruntled daughter.
ReplyDeleteSo funny! Which of your girls is the budding lyricist?
ReplyDeleteI was a little concerned for a minute there. I thought, that sure doesn't seem like one of Lara's daughters. :-)
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear it's just a songbook and that you're not a mean mommy.
That is hilarious. I am so glad you found that and wrote it all down for posterity sake. She's got quite the imagination. :)
ReplyDeleteCan I assume Cami wrote the lovely song? It's awesome!
ReplyDeleteI promised not to divulge the name of the creative song-writer, but if you look at the labels you might see a name there.
ReplyDeleteThat's funny. I was talking to Cami today and she said, "I sure don't remember writing that song, but I might have when I was younger." Apparently, it wasn't her. (o:
ReplyDeleteThat is too funny!
ReplyDeleteLove that song! I can just picture your shock at reading all that pent-up resentment. When Alyssa was about 4 I asked her to clean up her room and she told me, "You treat me the way the wicked stepmother treats Cinderella!" Ouch! But now I'm quite comfortable with my mean mother persona.
