[QUOTE="Andy, post: 234899, member: 5096"] Must be sibling rivalry day today. I took both difficult child and non-easy child diva to a birthday party a friend was having for her 1 year old. We got there about 1:00 (I told her I would be there at 12:30 so my anxiety was up for being late - we were unable to get hold of her to let her know we were still coming). difficult child is in an ornery mood today. They both did very well at the party but non-easy child diva asked at 3:00 if I would take her home because she didn't know I was planning on staying through clean up (party over at 4:00). On the way home, difficult child started complaining because he did not want to go back with me to help with clean up. (He doesn't mind the cleaning up part - just boring until the jobs are ready to do) I told him he could not be home alone without a way of calling me (husband had the cell phone). Non-easy child diva said she would stay home with him if I stopped by the grocery store to get ingredients for a jello recipe. On the way through the check out, difficult child was being difficult and non-easy child diva said, "Fine, you can take him with you." Oh no you don't, you are NOT getting out of this. So I dropped them off at home and headed back to the party. I was so sure they would do each other in and put me out of my misery. But no, I arrived home to absolutely no bloodshed and no complaining. Work is a wonderful stress reliever. So cool to get paid for lowering your stress. [/QUOTE]
