Why?? Its not just a question for 3 year olds.

This is Michael. This is the look I receive from Michael on an almost daily basis.  At first I would ask him why he looked at me this way. And after about the 4th time of him ignoring my question, I figured it out.

He looks at me this way as if to say "Why are you talking to me??" And now that I think about it, why do I bother talking to him?? He doesn't listen and even when he does listen most of the time he doesn't understand (still not completely sure about that last part).

So I'm wondering do other parents get these looks from their 3 year olds?? I never earned such looks from Connor or Gwen. Am I going to get the same looks from Ailyn?? And do I even really deserve these looks??

I think not!! In my own opinion of course. I'm the mommy. I'm here to help and SERVE. I SERVE this boy breakfast lunch and dinner,and don't forget snack time too!! And I protect him too. So I'm like his own personal police escort. Serve and protect that's what I do.

Would you look at a police officer this way?? As an adult I mean. If a cop pulled you over and was asking you the usual question they ask... "Do you know why I stopped you today??" Would this look be your response?? I think not. I think we as adults KNOW the respect the ones who are put here to serve and protect us. Correct??

Now am I aiming too high to have myself placed on the same pedestal as law enforcement?? I think not. I think that the respect we show the man should be the same respect I get from my kids. My older two seem to have it down. Where did I go wrong with this one?? Don't answer that it was a rhetorical question....
