Alive And Well And In My Own Hell
Yet another exceptionally quiet weekend in my house. And it will be unbearably quiet tonight. And I can’t wait!!!
I am lucky enough that my nieces have once again gone to the city to spend the weekend with family and friends. And tonight my other two children will be going to spend the night with my daughters’ godmother. Talk about the ideal situation for any parent trying to do some serious relaxing. It will downright heavenly to not have to fight with my daughter about going to bed. Or to not hear the older children bicker over who’s turn it is to wash the bloody dishes.
On the upside, I think mom and dad are actually going to be able to take in a movie tonight. And don’t think my oldest child will mind a bit when we do. For once we won’t have to hear a bunch of whiny ass teenage girls moan and groan about how unfair it is. Of course everything in life is unfair to them since they feel they deserve everything for nothing.
It has been a rough week in my house. We have endured far too much whining about how unfair life is. With most of it coming from my soon to be 17 yr old niece. Her Birthday is in a few days, and she feels that we should give her everything she wants. We decided to let her get her hair done the way she wants, which is costing a whopping $180 dollars. Then she wants clothes and another gift on top of that. And she wants it NOW!! She seems to forget that we can’t rearrange our entire life to fit her every whim. And she also forgets that money is incredibly tight in this house. The best part is, that no matter how much we talk to her she fails tohave even a basic understanding of life.
Enough whining already. I am so glad that we have just over one year and they will be moving out on their own. Then we shall see how fair life is. And I truly hope that they get the best of everything that life has to offer.
