Our definition of family is very loose, Kyle (24) is my husband, Madi-Jean (1) is our baby, JP (21) is my brother and lives in our basement, Mac (19) is JPs roofing employee, he technically lives with his own family but eats most meals and sometimes sleeps at my house. It is not uncommon for me to come home and find both boys asleep on my living room floor. I am a Nanny to my Nephew and Niece, Eli (2) and Jazz (4). Our house is busy, loud and truly the most enjoyable kind of family there is.
This week my household discussed who was the head of our house. The funny thing is we all secretly thought it was us. I thoughts me because I make the most daily decisions, I pay the bills, I keep the house ect… My Husband thinks he is because he makes the money to pay the bills…, which is legit. JP thinks he is because he generally gets to do whatever he wants all the time. Madi thinks she is because everyone caters to her every whim, which has earned her the nickname THE GENERAL. Mac silently thought he was because…well he didn’t say it out loud but we all knew he was thinking it.
We all wanted to be in charge, we all wanted to be first. It made me think of the kingdom of God. The Bible says In Mathew 20:16 16"So the last will be first, and the first will be last."
After the DISCUSSION JP piped up and said “I’m probably not the head, I’m Probably the Butt of the family.”
So I guess he is the head.
haha, that's great Anita! Looking forward to reading more!
ReplyDeleteYour blogs are awesome Anita! I read one and couldn't stop lol. This one is hilarious!
ReplyDeleteIt really is Mac. After all, he actually has 2 homes who cater to him, love him, and let him get away with just about everything and he doesn't pay for room & board at either place! Now THAT is a man in charge!
ReplyDeleteToo true Kathy ha ha ha
