So, señorita Stroppy is in fine form this evening
No one has had dinner, and no one is going to either, because I'm on strike. It's not so much what she says as the way she says it, sound familiar?
Of course she pushes every boundary to snapping point, today's is the number of kids I can safely bring in the car. Naturally, she won't wait until I'm not otherwise engaged, like asking her to get something from the fridge while I'm putting the chicken in the pan, to start telling me what I will be doing for tomorrow's sleepover. Now, I know at this point you're thinking cancel the sleepover, but I have a cunning plan.
They have a long ish weekend, here there's only Friday as holiday for Easter, so mates over to sleep tomorrow then on Friday her boyfriend is coming over and we're all going to the movies then taking him home. Then we have the weekend, and I am not going to cook for her because of the way she screamed, and I mean full on screeching and arm waving, that I never told her to get any fucking thing. Then she'll need packed lunches next week. Then she'll expect another sleepover, and pocket money. Then she's going to have to come up with a valid reason for me to put up with her screaming at me. Because I've had enough.
I gave the half cooked chicken to the dogs, because they appreciate what I do for them.
