All I can say is yuck! After a really long day where Social Services had to be called about one of my student's parent I came home looking to relax-yeah-I know how silly can I be? Don't I know better by now?
easy child (although right now very gfgish) starts being rude with me. When I basically let her know she wasn't going to treat me that way she started in on difficult child. She was extremely rude and I could tell things were escalating so I tried to get easy child's attention to stop what she was doing. Of course, she totally ignored me. Finally difficult child had enough and threw an empty medicine bottle at easy child. I'm sure it hurt but you would have thought she was mortally wounded.
We sent difficult child to his room. I just let easy child cry because these days when someone tries to comfort her they are likely to get screamed at. Then she starts screaming at husband and me for not seeing how she was. She is screaming about she hates us and all people-would prefer to live in the wild with wolves.
We calmly pointed out everything we have done for her lately. She changes her mind she only hates difficult child (who had come back down by now). Screams at him how she wishes he was dead and wishes he would die. Of course, at this point difficult child is smiling because he knows he has gotten to her. She screams that if he smiles at her again she is going to strangle the life out of him.
I'm talking full out screaming. We sent her to her room. I seriously thought we might need to take her to ER because she was out of control. When she heard me say it to husband she told me I was way over reacting. It was all husband and I could do not to laugh at that point-we were overreacting?
Then we get her upstairs difficult child starts acting up ends up punching me in the leg once at which point I told him if he attempted it again I would call the crisis line. He stopped and took a time out.
Later husband and I took difficult child to the club and had a workout. That usually destresses me but not tonight. We came home and easy child was still moody-screaming about things-honestly!
She finally seems to be calming down and so is difficult child.
Sorry this is so long-I had to get this out-I was so just looking forward to a quiet night. When difficult child falls asleep husband and I are going to watch a movie and enjoy our peace and quiet-at least I hope so!
