Counting down the days until she leaves

I am literally counting the days until PPIA (princess pain in the ass) goes home to her mother. Last night was such a disaster that by 11pm I had taken a sleeping pill and passed out.

I picked SD and DD up at their respective camps and went to the grocery store. They wandered off and I could not find them - I had them paged and the bag boys were running all over the store to help me. We found them on the hair accessories aisle - DD had a handful of hair bows she wanted and SD wants a plastic ball. I lost it with both of them - they heard the page and ignored it. NO treats to say the least. Silly Brats....

Anyway, we get home and I make tacos for dinner, more bullshit ensues from SD about not liking dinner - umm, ok SD, don’t eat. We finish up and I go outside to sit by the pool and read, and of course out they come. More BS behavior starts and continues all night. I decide to take away dessert as a consequence.

Holy shit, you would think they were going to die. They both say to me that they are starving to death. This was especially funny since SD has such a gut. FDH tries to negotiate with me to let them choose losing TV or dessert and almost lost it with him.

No, I chose the worst punishment for them and they need to live with it. If they keep bitching they can lose both. I was done with him too.

Finally, they went to bed and I did too. I have so had it with kids, mine, his, thank god there are no "ours". I may run away from home this weekend if this shit continues.

The best moments with a SD is when she goes back to mom!

I always used the book called Backtalk...very simple behavioral advice...alot of what you are already doing...and BTW...good work with FDH...

Sounds like you know how to hold down the fort!

Eventually they turn 18!

I dread when she turns 18 every time I read stuff in the adult ST forums. I really forsee her acting like this in the adult version as she gets older.

Other great part is that FDH is traveling next week on business so we dont have her at all. We have a long weekend in Napa already planned. Cant wait to drink wine and eat my way through CA!
