Mama in New England

This is us, as I navigate motherhood and enjoy the amazing adventure.

We are a family of four, a cat and a dog, living outside Boston, Massachusetts. I started this blog as a way to update friends and family who are afar, but it seems to have become somewhat therapeutic & helps me laugh when I need to.

Bribes

I was trying to get everyone out the door the other day for soccer and asked them to use the bathrrom before we left.  Vivian was flat out refusing.  Since it was Sam's game, he had a vested interest in going.  The conversation went something like:

Me:  "Vivian, please use the bathroom so we can go."
Vivi: "no"
Me: "we need to leave and there's no bathrooms at the soccer field. Go now."
Vivi: "nope"
Sam interjects: "Viv, just go, I'll give you a quarter."
Me: "don't bribe her, she needs to follow the direction."
Sam out of the side of his mouth and whispering: "it's okay mom, I'm really giving her a penny and telling her it's a quarter."
