Since last Friday, Miss KT has had a major chip on her shoulder. She over-reacts to the littlest things, has screaming fits about nothing, and does her best to pick fights with both me and Hubby. We got our state refund Friday, bought her the camera we'd promised her, and went to Target for some other stuff. I wanted refills for our air freshener, but couldn't remember what brand it was. Miss KT kept saying it had the green light on it, I said I don't see one with a green light, we kept looking, and I finally said to forget it, I'd write the name down and come back later. Hubby picked up an air freshener and showed me, under a sticker, that it did have a green light. Miss KT blew a gasket, saying that no one ever listens to her, she was saying that all along, and she's really tired of having to compete with Hubby for everything. I wasn't aware she still saw this as a competition, and of course, she refused to talk to me about it any further.
Saturday, she went straight for screaming whenever something didn't go her exact way. Sunday, thank heavens, she was at a friend's, but she went from decent to a spitting cat Monday evening the second she saw Hubby, and it continued most of the evening, until I sent her to her room.
This is the behavior we were seeing right before she went to my mom's, and I'm not sure why it's back. She saw her father on Thursday, which is rarely a good thing, but it doesn't usually trigger blow-ups like this anymore. Things were going her way money-wise, we'd been to dinner at a place she loves, bought the camera, and she had spending money for her visit with her friend. She's on spring break, she has several different things to do, she's taking her medications...I just don't know. So many things are running around in my head...did her father say something that upset her? She has only two more months of high school...is she afraid to be a grown-up? Was the Adderall bump to 30 mg from 25 last month not good for her?
