A Run on sentence of complaints

As mothers we often take bits and pieces of really good ideas and try to make them fit where we need it. The problem is it never does fit. Well sure, it could be that we never really caught the "How to raise your children" television program from beginning to end, but that has nothing to do with it. Does it? Why do they have parenting books? If your child is old enough to read, give it to them and say, “Here… read this, I expect you to behave the way this book tells you to”. Mothers already have so many jobs. I know it may seem like I am complaining. That’s because I am. If a husband has the right to complain about work, or his bad golf game, or having to mow the lawn, and the kids can complain about how unfair moms are, why their sisters get more ice cream than they do and how “Felicia’s mom lets her do that”, then I as a mother and a wife reserve the right to complain about everything else. After all, we gave birth to the little monsters AND married their leader.
