Apparently I have to go back and read in a minute after I vent.
So wonderful DH let me sleep in after I was up with my tummy still unhappy last night. I got up around noon. It is now a little after 1. I have been up for only an hour and already had 2 fights with DD11 that have resulted in crying tantrums.
1st because I asked her to do her chores she didn't do while I was asleep--put away the dishes and clean the pantry floor (they always dump cereal boxes and pb jars and things on the floor instead of putting them on the shelves). She was watching TV instead and wanted to watch a movie until 2pm. I told her I would DVR the movie and they could watch it when chores were done. All the sudden she is STARVING and how can I make her do chores before lunch. She will die. "Too bad, do your chores then you can eat."
So the chores are done and she wants to prepare a grand feast for lunch. Um, no. I still need to get in there and clean the kitchen. Just make something fast and easy. I give her the options of chicken nuggets, fish sticks or sharing a frozen mac and cheese with her sister. She asks her sister "Do you want to share a mac and cheese?" Sister says "yes!
". Big Brat then goes to the freezer that does NOT have mac and cheese in it and is rummaging around. I ask her what she is doing. She is looking for a Chicken patty to have a sandwich. Um NO! You just asked lil sis if she wanted to share mac and cheese with you. "I didn't say I was going to make it, or that I wanted it"
So she is now screaming and crying in her room and stomping on the floor to make sure I know she is mad.
I hate weekends. This child needs routine and structure. School is so good for her. She just can't handle weekends.
