Here we go again!
I am kinda ticked right now.
I made something for dinner that the kids don't normally have (cheese enchiladas). Okay, well difficult child 2 orders it when we go out, but he didn't care for the way I made it (had olives on it which turned him off). easy child took one bite begrudgingly and then made herself a bowl of clam chowder instead. Fine. difficult child 1 ate his and said it was a little spicy for him, but o.k. Then ate his tuna sandwich from this afternoon. difficult child 2 pushed his around the plate without eating any, then made himself a bowl of cereal and a tuna sandwich, but ended up only having room for the cereal. Fine. I have no problem with that.
Well two hours later, difficult child 1 sees this Carl's Jr. coupon and asks to call husband who is on his way home on his 1 hour commute after a 15-hour day, and he asks husband to buy him a burger at Carl's on the way home. And then when difficult child 2 hears this conversation, he pipes up that HE wants something, too! And husband is OBLIGING THEM!!! Is it just me or is there something very selfish and wrong about this situation?
