My Single Mom Life

The boys came home from school today and did all their chores without having to be told.
Then they asked if I needed help with the dishes.
I said yes of course, I'm not gonna look a gift horse in the mouth.
They both took turns doing all the dishes, took out the trash and recycles, picked up all their stuff.

Now they are playing video games and within an hour, I'll be ready to kill.
Within minutes of starting to play, something chemically changes with kids playing games.
They start getting aggressive with each other, with the other players, their voices raise, and they just get over all annoying.
I hate it.
I'll be ready to shut it off in a few hours.
It's the loudness that makes me crazy.
The yelling and screaming at each other and other players, it makes me crazy.
Can't stand it.
But ya know, as bad as this is going to sound, I'd rather have them in the house playing video games than out on the streets running around with other teens causing trouble.
