When did I become my parents

OK, this summer has started out with a trend. Most of my friends that read this have children younger than mine, but some around the same age. Mine are 16, 11, and 7. (Mom, I don't mean this as a bad thing) I have become my parents. This is a typical day for me with my kids: (me telling them) don't eat food in the living room or your bedroom, pick up your dirty socks and underwear from yesterday and put them in the hamper, (the boys) NO ONE WANTS TO SEE THAT, put your dirty dishes in the sink or dishwasher, not all over the kitchen, only use one to two glasses a day, not eight, clean up any mess that you make in the kitchen, (you guys are driving me crazy), short drive Sean says, Chris and Hanna, stop bugging the crap out of each other, don't touch or look at each other, don't even breath near each other, close that door, you don't have to pay the electric bill, no you can't have that, again, no you can't have that, money doesn't grow on trees, put the cats down, when they growl at you that means they aren't happy, flush the potty, again, NO ONE WANTS TO SEE THAT OR SMELL IT, wipe off the counter in the bathroom, there is water every where, wash the toothpaste down the drain, Derek, the trash is overflowing, take it out, Chris, take a bath and fix your hair, it looks like someone got the hand mixer stuck in your hair, Hanna, not so much perfume, when you guys carry things around the house try not to hit the walls again, put up your bikes, scooters, etc., feed the cats, that's why they keep running into the kitchen every time you get up, try to keep bathwater in the bathtub, hang your towels up, and so on. They aren't that bad everyday, but sometimes it feels like it. They really are good kids, and I love them to death, and do what I ask of them, most of the time, they are just in a lazy mode like I am since its summer and don't want to have to do a lot.
