Every now and then I need to be reminded that I need to pick and choose my battles. Well today was one of those days. My husband and I are beefing tonight because we disagree on how to discipline our teenage nieces.

Today got off to a rocky start in my house. My two nieces made the decision to stay at home today from school. They decided since their hair wasn’t done and one of them had a tooth ache, that they could stay at home. That’s right I said their hair was not done. These two girls will find any excuse not to go to school. Well I felt that they needed to be punished for their decision. And in my house that means no TV and no computer. And my husband felt that they should be able to keep these privileges. And this my friends is where the argument comes into play.

My husband is angry because I punished the girls. And personally I don’t understand how he can basically reward them for their behavior. So, here I sit pissed as all hell with smoke coming out my ears. And it is all because he makes me feel like the bad guy for dealing out punishment. It is a double edged sword for me. Because on one hand I want to be fair to the girls, and be looked as cool, but they did need to be punished. My husband is a softee and the girls know it. They can cry to him and he gives in 99% of the time. But why make me out to be the bad guy when I did nothing wrong? I hate feeling like this too.

It’s bad enough that all my life I have felt like an outcast. And that I have never been a part of the popular crowd. But to feel like that in my own house is just wrong. I should not have to win any popularity contests to be liked. And I am not about to bend down and kiss anyone’s ass to be liked either.  So I guess the answer is just unknown right now. But I do know one thing for sure, I will continue to live my life the way I always have. And if it means that I will remain a part of the outcast crowd than so be it. Because I don’t care anymore.
