Does anyone else have a difficult child that blames everything on YOU? Do you get tired of it? How do you teach them that the consequences are caused by THEIR actions?
Today, difficult child 1 took a break between subjects (remember they do school from home). difficult child 2 starts right away when he gets up and works straight through until he's done. When difficult child 2 is done for the day, he gets to go do things. difficult child 1 complained today that difficult child 2 always gets to do things. I reminded him that difficult child 2 starts right away and doesn't stop and that he (difficult child 1) takes frequent breaks so he's not going to get done as soon as difficult child 2 does. His response was, "well, if you'd make me keep going". Ummm.....Yea....like I haven't tried that a million times.
Tonight, he ate his supper in the living room so he could catch the end of the show he was watching. Not a problem. When the show was over, he comes traipsing into the kitchen. I asked him if he'd brought his bowl with him. His response was "now I have to go aaaaallllll the way back in there because of you". UGH
I get so tired of hearing that. I can't win no matter what I do (or don't do).
