Guilty Pleasures

I must admit that I have a huge guilty pleasure. shhhhhhhhhhhhh. It's watching SuperNanny. shhhhhhhhhhhh... Don't tell anyone.

Being a stay at home mom I sometimes get a little blind to how good my kids really are. I start seeing only the misbehavior, and not the goodness that they do. Whenever I watch SuperNanny though..... I thank my lucky stars. My boys are (all-in-all) really good boys. They don't have any major behavior disorders. My older one is a little bit picky, and likes structure. Which can drive me crazy, because I'm more of a let's go do this all of a sudden type person. Superboy also doesn't like change too much. He acts out a little bit if too much change happens at once. But, in all honesty, I do believe that's all kids at his age.

However, I have learned that I must hide the fact that I watch this show. I let Superboy watch one time with me. Big mistake. The kids in the show were jumping on their beds. Superboy had never done this before. Now, I can't get him to stop. I have even threatened to remove his bed from his room and make him sleep on his floor. He'll stop for three or four minutes, and then he's right back at it. ( And, yes, I do count my lucky stars that that is his only major bad habit so far)

I confessed this guilty pleasure to the Cowboy last night. He laughed. and laughed, and laughed.

With us being in the military the last SuperNanny I got to watch made me cry big time though. A woman had lost her husband, and was trying to raise their kids on her own. My biggest nightmare. I've had bad dreams ever since. So, I've forgone my guilty pleasure for a week or so. Maybe, I'll watch the next show... I don't know. But until then have a wonderful Fourth of July everyone!!!
