Evil Mom?

By Marisa | March 8, 2008

Can someone explain children to me? I know, I have six of these creatures and really ought to have it all figured out by now. But I don’t and I doubt I ever will.

About an hour ago, Levi moaned his way into my office to let me know that he is starving. He’s not hungry; he’s starving. Granted, Levi is a slender child but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t eat. He does. He’s eaten twice today. Yet, when he was told that it would be at least 30 minutes until the chicken is done, he just about fell apart before my eyes.

And then, somehow, he mustered the energy (in his starving state) to drag himself up to his bedroom to play his playstation 3. And we haven’t seen him since.

I’ve called to him several times. He answered once. I told him supper is ready. He said he’d be down “in a minute.” Naturally, my concern is that the poor child is so malnourished that he can’t lift his weight the distance from the PS3 to the stairs so he can propel himself to the bottom of the steps and have someone spoon his food into his lifeless body.

And now the real question: Do I march up the stairs and insist that he come down right this minute or do I simply divvy up his portion between those waiting to eat? Evil mom or stern mom? What do you think?

   Melodrama is a wonderful thing, don’t you think?

   I would make my life easier and say now or never, eat with us or do without.

   I would allow him to eat as long as he came down before dinner was cleaned up. He knows that it’s dinner time. If he doesn’t make it down, then I guess he wasn’t as “starving” as he proclaimed to be.

   I’d say go for evil mom. Your son sounds just like my twelve year old brother!
