So much for a great New Year and trying to start a new tradition with a dinner and watching the ball drop on TV... I refuse and my daughter doesn't care but son is upset. Why should I? For what? I forced myself the last two years with problems because I felt guilty if I didn't with my kids with our tradition. I am really starting to have more problems with my daughter- besides her being overly quite, and her rarely showing emotion, she flat out refuses to bathe! And when she finally gets in after me harassing her, she doesn't bathe correctly. I mean she doesn't use but a drop if any shampoo and I see no dirt coming off her skin.. the smell factor is there esp now its been soooo long. I have talked to her nicely, made deals, told her no friends, no going outside ..no electronics, let her know at her age its even more important than ever to shower! Told her how proud I am or how pretty she smells when she has..I bought scrubbies, body washes, new tub mats, towels but still nothing. Its a battle during school days too always says "in the morning, or I just got changed or" you keep bugging me about it are u gonna stop". Morning comes and full blown fight!!! I mean it is noticeable and besides people making comments of her lack of speech and emotion, the bathing comments are starting from them.. peers aren't having much to do with her. She used to love baths!!!
Shes so sensitive/nervous/intimidated that she stopped trying to learn to ride a bike, refuses math tuters even a female, I mean I just dont know! She refuses testing and said if I try that she will never speak with me again and I will have to drag in her to the doctors.. she already has nothing to do with some family for various reasons... I know Im the mom and she has no say.. but with her grades overall good, why push her to be tested? My son, well since he has been sick hes mainly been mouthy and just cussing at us demanding us to shutup and I took stuff away for him to earn back.. hahahha.
And now they wont take care of their pets unless we harp and harp.. now I know what you all are going to say... kids will be kids and most lose interest and quit so its the parents responsibility to take over. Now, I understand to a point BUT when my sis and I were kids my family instilled/ drilled it in us that if we dont care for them they pets are gone!!! We took care of them even days we felt lazy. I know my kids are wired different as u all say and I have to take that into consideration but they can spend hours on computers, laptops, playing outside, wii, sports etc.... they can sure take a few minutes out to care for the pets. Im firm on that!!! I have seen some kids with mental or physical disabilities and they still care for the pet. Will I allow the kids anymore pets ever? No! Not even a cricket!!!! So I dont want to get rid of the pets, just thinking of claiming them as mine....
