I have ruined it for the man who winds up wanting to marry my daughter. By loving her and wanting to share his life with her, he will bind himself to a life of servitude. Wait a second. Isn’t that how it should be anyways? <--- I see some hate mail coming for that one. hehe
About three weeks ago she asked me to rub her feet while we were in bed at bed time. So it started out where I would rub or scratch them (she especially loves that) to relax her. Then, I'd sing a song and she'd nod off. At some point she figured out that if she lays belly down on the opposite end of the bed her feet fall into the perfect position which happens to be right next to my hand. Imagine her delight about this.
This is how our nights are now. Every night she lays next to me. We chit chat a minute. She does some super-flexy move that bends herself in half to where she winds up on the other end of the bed sticking her feet in my face, asking me in that sleepy sweet voice, "Scratch my feet please." How does a mother resist that? A mother can't. Not this mother. She now falls asleep in less than half the time, all for a foot rub or scratch. Again, I ask, how does a mother resist that? Oh, how this mother can’t.
It has now been like this for about 3 weeks. I was just thinking today, what will she make her poor husband do for her? If her personality is anything later on what it is like now, my guess is that he’ll be rubbing her feet every single night. My guess also is that if her personality is anything later on what it is like now, she’ll be the kind of woman that deserves a foot rub every night.


Why is it they like the food rub?? I have a daughter that loves a foot tickle to relax her (I’d be all over the place if someone did that to me). My thoughts on boyfriend, no one will ever be good enough ‘he doesn’t rub my feet, he doesn’t wait on me hand and foot,) there will be trail of broken hearts in her wake.
LOL - My parents make the same joke. My sister, who is 12, sleeps on the floor of my mom and dad’s room every night instead of her own room, and she never sleeps in her room. So my parents joke that when she gets married, her and her boyfriend will spend their honeymoon on the floor of my parents room LOL. So just a brief connection there
Great blog Mominator
Elle ~ Oh I am SOOOO not looking foward to the boy stages of life to come. My husband just wants to never let her leave the house….highly unlikely.
Sam ~ Thanks for the compliment! Most nights she comes into our room and I’ll just wake up randomly in the middle of the night with an elbow in my side. If she’s 12 and still doing that I’m sending her to the floor too!!! LOL
