I can relate to these things completely, and leaving my son home with wasband spending the night this weekend so I could visit my daughter in college, provided me with similar instances. I came back home to the coffee mug (used by you know who) in the sink with coffee powder spilt on the counter.....something I had to clean up everyday of my life for two decades. This is your wet sponge!

And then hear my daughter say some tongue and cheek comment about how I am scary and intimating to people I don't know. Sigh!

You are not alone on days when you feel like this. I truly question my purpose and what these parenting moments are supposed to teach me. I walk away thinking it's such a thankless job, but what do I know. Keep calm and move on!
