The Won't Versus Want List

The males in my life are once again conspiring to drive me to the loony bin. Most of our current struggles can be broken down into won't versus want. Such as:

• Elliott won't go in the potty. I want him to.
• Elliott won't sleep in his bed. I want him to.
• Elliott won't listen. I want him to.
• Elliott won't mind. I want him to.
• Carl Wheezer won't leave Priss alone. I want him to.
• Carl Wheezer won't stop annoying us in our sleep. I want him to.
• Doug won't stop drinking out of the tea pitcher. I want him to.
• Doug won't close the blankety-blank kitchen cabinet. I want him to.

Believe me, I could go on and on and on. They are driving me nutso-nutso. And I was already halfway there all by myself.
