Guilt Cards: Mommy's Secret Weapon

[Ed. note: One word: Brilliant!]

After being exposed to the proper amount of guilt David has given me one of the best Mother's Day gifts I've ever received. David created a packet of "Guilt Cards"- each card requesting a favor with its own accompanying guilt message.

I love these cards and not just because they periodically allow me to get out of doing some household chores. They tell me that David recognizes what I do, appreciates it and is offering to give me a break.

I think my favorite is "Please Change the Kitty Litter - you'll find the litter in the garage next to your son's broken tricycle". I can't wait to see what my birthday brings!

    I would love a pack of those for myself. Granted I don't have children at this point but I will soon and they'd be great to use on my husband.
