It is official. I am the meanest mom. I know there are several of you out there who have, erroneously, thought the title belonged to you. And maybe it has. Until now. Until today. I have decidedly trumped all contenders by one simple act. An act so vile and reproachable I feel somewhat reluctant to mention it...but the first step to recovery is admission, right? So here goes.
I made chicken and rice for dinner. (GASP!) I know, I know...how could I? I mean, it hasn't gone over very well on past occasions (see here) so I should have known better. I never learn.
I should look for a 12-step program to deal with this particular shortcoming.
"Hi, my name is Amy and I'm a mean mom."
Until then I will most likely continue to offer somewhat healthy meals to my children and be rewarded with all kinds of seething resentment.
And I will most likely continue to try and capture that resentment in all of its' glory with the camera lens. My gleeful snapping of surly faces will, of course, increase my "meanness". Alas.

You are so funny. And oh so mean! Love the picture, it really does capture the sentiment.
Glory in your title because I'm quite sure it won't be yours for long. There are a lot of "mean" moms out there.
such a cute face though, it was worth being so mean making one of my favorites, to capture that face on camera!
Just tell those grumpy little faces - "You think this is mean...you ain't seen nothin' yet"! Then, just start serving homemade oatmeal or cracked wheat for every meal (w/o sugar or honey). They'll be asking for chicken and rice in just a few days. You're an awesome mean mom!!!
Hee Hee. You are funny. Chicken and rice is the end of the world at my house too. I get running into their room screaming and refusing to eat with us reactions though. I would take the surliness. :) I agree with Amy. You are an awesome mean mom.
Dude, Graham HATES rice with chicken. I'm loving that your catching all Lindy's grumpy faces. I'm sure she'll thank you for it later. :)
You are one mean mom! How dare you even think of such unkindness... love the face!
