Dear Sugar:

Dear Sugar,

Why do you affect my children so?

Yes, they have their good days and their bad days, but when you come to visit via a birthday cake, Easter bunny, or Halloween candy, they go ballistic.

I can almost see their little heads spinning whilst under your spell.

At first, it is fun.

They laugh.

They run around.

They dance.

And then things start to get messy....

First my youngest dances into my oldest.

Then she hits him, and he falls to the ground.

Defending his little brother's honor, my middle child goes after my oldest.

She sees it coming and knocks him to the ground as well. (She is still bigger than the boys at this point, but there will come a day.....)

What follows is utter chaos until I can break them all apart. This madness leaves behind bruises, tears, and sometimes even blood.

So, Sugar, even though I get called a "Mean Mommy" for limiting your visits into our home, you can see, I really am doing it for their own good.

Sincerely,
MomOf3
