I am not driving my kids from camp to camp. I am not filling their summer days with structured Science or Literature classes. I am not spending a lot of time in the kitchen helping them to create foods with funny faces or organic offerings.
I'm lazy-ass mom. Or, so a lovely commenter said. (Delete! Delete!)
I do feel guilty though. I feel the days of doing nothing are opportunities wasted. They could have learned something really important today! But I didn't push them.
My kids just aren't self-motivated. When we have a summer day where there isn't something scheduled, which is often, I spend most of my time suggesting things for them to do. Rather than them asking me "Can we? Can we?" I hear, "Do we have to?"
I feel like I'm failing. Or, to turn it around, I'm winning in the "Unmotivated Kids" catagory.
*heavy sigh*
