[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 356360, member: 6705"] $6 a gallon for milk? WOW. I consider $1.49 a gallon expensive. I love my kids. Some days, I do not like them at all... But I do love them. And yeah, been there done that. It hoovers. But - she is old enough to take charge of herself. So you won't do her laundry unless she has nothing to wear? Hmmmmm... Just have her do her own. Jett is learning that if he doesn't bring his clothes down on Friday night, I don't do it. He complained today he didn't have enough pants to wear to school. Well, between the fact that TUESDAY EVENING he was asked to put away his laundry from the week before, (so that's TWO DAYS) and he keeps wearing 3-4 changes of clothes a day... Told him Tuesday when I showed him his basket, versus mine and husband's - two adults had less than half the clothes of one child - that I was only washing one outfit per day from now on. (Not to mention him wearing good school clothes to BM's and coming home in short shorts, cutoff sweats, etc... He's old enough to know better. If he can remember his Nintendo DS... he can remember clothes.) Buy her her own bottle/box of laundry detergent and tell her - here you go. This should last you X months. Then don't do her laundry. Quit with the semi-vegetarian organic fancy stuff - you're not rich!!!!! I like the idea of giving her a budget. It's easy to get healthy food without going bonkers over organic. in my opinion - and according to many studies (not all of course) - it's not all that much better than the normal stuff. PLUS - you're the parent. YOU get to decide what she eats. If she throws a fit about it? Let her go hungry. She'll figure it out. She is not an infant who cannot fend for herself. [/QUOTE]
