And here we go AGAIN!!!

This blog post is just me venting about something that's been on my mind. My mother recently got mad at me for basically disciplining my daughter. My husband and I told our daughter that if she didn't do good on her spelling test she wasn't gonna be able to do something fun we planned that weekend. My daughter is 8 years old. She knows what is an acceptable grade on a spelling test and what isn't. She usually makes 100% or just below it every week on her test because she studies daily. This week my daughter chose not to study for her spelling words and as a result she didn't make the grade. Maybe I would have looked past the grade if I thought she did her best and she studied for the test that week but she made the decision to not listen to us when we told her that her weekend depended on her getting a good grade. My mother got mad because we wouldn't let her go. I am so sick and tired of her treating my daughter like a baby and rewarding her for bad behavior and getting mad at me and my husband for sticking  to our guns. In all reality she has no business butting in. She has no right to come after me for the way I discipline my child. I mean if it was up to her my daughter would never have to do anything. Like I said before...my daughter is 8 years old and she is more than capable of cleaning her room and doing her homework. My husband and I have certain standards for our daughter's education and behavior. We crack down on her homework because we want her to do good in school and actually learn something. There is nothing wrong with that and my mother gets mad that we are strict when it comes to her school work. If it was up to my mother she would let my daughter do what ever she wants and act however she wants to act which is what she does now when she's with her....and I refuse to allow that to happen. That's exactly how a child turns into a brat. My mother allows my daughter to talk to her any type of way. She allows her to be disrespectful and I refuse to allow my daughter to be a disrespectful child.

Now on the subject of my mother and my husband.....

I have no clue what my mother's problem is with my husband. I mean he has done nothing but prove to be an amazing man. He takes care of me and he treats my daughter like his own. I mean my daughter calls him daddy for crying out loud. My husband makes sure my daughter has everything she needs. He supports us financially and never once complained about it. He loves us. And now we have another baby and he has been by my side every step of the way. He is the most caring and loving person that I have ever met. My mother should be happy that I have a man like that in my life but she's not. She's so bitter about her own relationship that she literately can't stand to see no one else happy and that's the truth. She told me a couple of times before that she's bitter about her relationship. My mother is such a hater and I hate to say that I really do. It's not my fault that she married a horrible man who only cares about himself. It's not my fault that her husband wasn't there for her when she was pregnant with us and raising us. She should want me to have better than what she has but she doesn't. All she does is try to make me feel bad about my life. I love my life. I have a wonderful husband who loves me and would never mistreat me or our children. I couldn't ask for a better man if I designed him myself. I just wish my mother would be happy for me instead of being bitter. I tried to ignore this for the longest time but I have reached my breaking point and I need to get this out.
