OK, well today is the last day of the Mom's that I can't stand. I'm sure that I have a lot more types of Mom's to write about, and I'm sure that I will in the near future, but I don't want to continue to bore you guys with this. So today's Mom is..........................................................
The "burnt out Mom"
Now, this is where I fall into this category. You see, I am exactly that. The burn out Mom. Not that I blame my being burnt out because of drugs or anything. It's just that I am completely and totally brain fried. So, I guess technically speaking, I can't stand myself, huh? Now, The Burnt out Mom is often the Mom that can't remember shit. She often can't remember dates of appointments, pets names, and also her kids names. Why, you ask? Because she is too damned busy to remember the important stuff. :) Now, this type of Mom likes to think that she's an awesome mom and has her shit together but in reality she really doesn't. Her life runs smoothly but that's because of all of her daily reminders. This Mom has often been referred to as the ADHD Mom. This Mom really doesn't have Attention deficit, but to shut people up and to hurry things along she has managed to adapt the yup system. The Yup system is simply saying yup, uh huh, and really, when another person is talking to her, all the while she's contemplating something completely irrelevant in her head.
My take of the burnt out Mom:
If you need to talk to her make is damned interesting because the odds are that she's not going to remember it the next day. Call her frequently for reminders, and if she starts using the yup system on you, than you know it's a bad time and to try at a different time. Don't expect or ask too much from her. It's not that she doesn't want to be there for you or yours, it's just that she can't remember. Please don't take her offensively.
So, on that note. This is the conclusion to the Mom's that I can't stand. If you guys want more, let me know, if not, than I'll continue writing my daily craziness....see ya..
