Michelle, too funny! My daughter actually said, “okay MEAN MOMMY!” when I asked her to stop channeling Evil Kenevil last night while she was leaping from couch to couch! And we don’t have an Xbox yet, but I can only imagine what’s in store for me!

I’m a mom of 2 boys. I’m also a mom who can’t seem to figure out how to play the video games that my sons & my husband play together. They even talk about the games when they aren’t playing. Let me tell you how completely useless I am when the xbox is on! Dad therefore becomes ‘cool dad’ who can figure out how to get the extra bonus cube or make the character jump up three levels. Which leaves me, as the uncool mom that has to set the timer so they don’t play all day. I’m the mom that is forced to announce it’s homework/dinner/bath/bed time. I’m the mom that get’s “you’re mean” said to her way.too.much.
I want to be ‘cool at xbox mom’ just once!

Sarah, You MUST tell us which pool you’re hanging out at! Because I could really use that cabana boy! (So my back doesn’t get burned, of course! Get your mind out of the gutter.) =)

The bellybutton, the hair… I’m so with you! Mommies are meant to stay by the side of the pool, sipping a frosty little cocktail and signaling the cabana boy to rub a little more lotion on their shoulders, while Daddies splash down the slide. It’s the way nature intended things to be.

I have a feeling that this is how my life with children will turn out, though now, I take on the form of “daddy” to my niece. I play for hours on end with her and we always have a blast – but I can send her home with mommy and collapse & relax a bit!! I’m sure that relax time will be gone, and the energy I have for my niece will be sapped when I get to become a mom!

Thanks Patricia! And you know which pool slide I’m talkin’ about…that one at the Westin Villas. But yes, I can barely play a game of Jenga, let alone build a fort made of blankets!
