It has come to my attention over the years that people like your daughter become very versed in the art of not fighting fair. Isn't it interesting that they are NOT able to be thankful, humble, appreciative, or that they can remember any little kindness or seem to possess the tiniest bit of grattitude -like the world owes them a kiss on the kiester, but let them do one itsy, bitsy, little thing for you? One miniscule, microscopic thing in the scheme of life? And all of a sudden it's the pantheon of gifts? You should fall on your knees like they brought you frankenscense, gold and myrh. AND - their inability to remember to do anything FOR you is almost non-existant, but let them get into a heated argument nineteen months later and that one itsy, bitsy little thing they did do for you nineteen months ago will spring forth to the front of their tiny brains as if it were yesterday!?
I maintain - difficult child's have selective seretonin reupslap (hit forehead with palm of hand) inhibitive argumentive induced brains.
IE: I providea house, roof, windows, door, rent, electric, gas, water,cable, phone, cellphone, internet, cable,food, stove, sink, running water, fridge, kitchen, bathroom, shower, soap, washcloth, towel, your bedroom, curtains, blinds, carpet, a bed,bed frame, mattress, boxsprings, sheets, pillowcase, blanket, heat, air,
television, remote control, furniture, lightbulbs, cleaning supplies, plugins, carpetfresh, doorknobs, security, a dog, dogfood, dogbowl, washing machine, dryer, laundry detergent, fabric softener, bleach, dryer sheets, shout, plates, cups, bowls, silverware, pots, pans, utensils, diningroom table, chairs, ceiling fans, living room furniture, pictures, stereo, telephone, computer, printer, router, chair to sit in, desk to sit it on....a car, gas, insurance, wall clock, and many many other
a toilet, a tub, a shower - toilet paper - shampoo, conditioner, medicine, my company, and I ask you - to take out the garbage, and pay the propane bill once a month - and what do I get?
GRIEF......pure, unadultarated, smart mouthed, foul language, and grief coupled with "Mom, Momma, Momma, Mommy, Mom, Mamama, Mommy, Mom, Momma, Mommy will you pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeee watch my baby so I can --------------?" and then more FOUL language and then the one little itty bitty teenie tiney favor you did for me you throw up in my face......and on top of that you ungrateful, so and so - you want to call ME a liar?
WOW - thanks a bunch. Gosh, can you hang on just a second please? Because I want to go get my check book RIGHT NOW - and write you out a check for that $600.00 so that I don't owe YOU a thing! Because if that's what it takes for you to realize YOU don't get to speak to ME like that for $600.00 BUCKS? Then you should just get in your car, and trot right on over here and get it missy - then I don't want you, or your mouth to ever come within 20 miles of ever speaking to me with that level of disrespect ever again. And with that $600.00 I hope you go and enroll in a course for improving your memory because if you are that short sighted that you forget about all the things I did for you? Then I'd suggest you stay far, FAR away from here until you grow a new respect for me because I will NOT be talked to like that by you or anyone else EVER again - YOU GOT THAT. I'm not your door mat or anyone elses - and I won't have my Granddaughter be used like that either and if that means I don't get to see her? So be it - but this business of using her to get things YOU want stops now - EITHER YOU want me to see her or you don't. It's that simple, But I will see her on MY time - NOT yours and at MY convenience - NOT YOURS.
and at the end of this? she asks you when she can come get her check? Tell her she just needs to come and get it on the FIFTH Saturday of the Month - of any Month of the year - same as when you believe HER appreciation for others will grow past the size of a peanut, and her attitude toward you and everyone else in life will improve.
YUP -
