I DONT FEEL LIKE IT!!!!!!

I have  heard from both of my boys on different occasions the words" I don't feel like it." Now me being the mother I am understoods the context of the phrase but my reaction may have not expressed my  understanding.

Let start with mom's precious baby boy, some of you have seen me refer to him as my Pooder Doo and he will always be that to me, but when my male child said to his single parenting mother "I don't feel like it" Pooder became #@$%$#@$#^%$&%&^(^*&(*&(*_)(*()*+)_( please what did you say!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?????????????????????????????. ( I didn't swear but that would have fit the moment. LOL.
I said you don't feel like it, well I don't feel like paying the mortgage , gas bill, phone bill, grocery shop what else you got?!!  I told him get out of your feelings don't no body give a " FLYING FIG NEWTON " about your feeling. I m glad you have them and I have always expressed its OK to show them, but you cant live by them. Your going to be a man one day and your feelings can't determine your destiny. Unfortunately I have seen to many men and I'm sorry if you feel offended but , as a woman I have seen to many men not so much say I don't feel like it, but live the phrase out. I don't feel like opening the door  for you, I don't feel like fixing this , I don't feel like going to work, I dont feel like moving out of my mama's house (oops did I say that?) the only ones offended are the ones that it apply to so either say ouch or amen hahahahahahah.

Getting back to the topic as I raise boys to men, "I don't feel like it" does not translate to mandom!!!!!!!

Now my other child  Doopsey doo another precious miracle I've been blessed with, he is working on finishing his associates to move over to his Bachelors I'm so proud, but he said  the phrase " I don't feel like it" to me.  My head spun around and almost detached from  my neck.  I told him because he is a little older " DON'T NO BODY CARE !!!!!!!!" about your feeling, your in mandom and get out of your feelings they don't apply when it comes to business!!!!!!! I realized I had over reacted and went back and asked him to come and sit with me on the couch.  See he was dragging his feet on getting his application in to a 4 year university so I spoke to him in his language( his pockets)

I told him that if he isn't in school in the fall he will have to have 1 full time job or 2 part-time jobs which ever one he prefers he will have to do 40hrs, theN pay me $350 in rent, the light bill, his own groceries and toiletries plus his cell bill. Or he could be in school full time working part time and he just have to pay the light bill (I don't believe in any man living rent free in your home if your a single mom). Well needless to say he spoke with the university person. He found out he has to stay where he is one more semester take 3 more classes before he will be accepted into the program he wants. He said "I don't feel like... staying there one more semester ,but  he is proceeding forward and he isn't  in his feelings!!!!!!! A mothers love never dies.
