difficult child is showing all of his difficult child-ness this morning! My kids have to empty the dishwasher in the mornings before school. Last night I forgot to run it, so I told difficult child that it didn't have to be emptied. I was not aware that husband ran it. So, I told difficult child that he did have to empty it. Holy cow!! The tantrum over this!! So now he's doing everything in slow motion, putting a dish in the cabinet, closing it, opening it, putting the next dish in, on and on this goes. I told him that if he missed the bus he had better get his walking shoes on because I was not going to drive him if this was the way he was acting. He said that he just wouldn't go to school then. I told him that if he made that choice that I would call the attendance office and tell them that this was an unexcused absence and to treat it as if he was cutting school and then he would have to deal with the consequences of his action. He did make it to the bus stop, but I think only because the bus seems to be running late this morning.
Why does he have to be this way? I know. Because I told him originally that the chore would not have to be done until after school. My fault there and I told him that. Moms make mistakes sometimes, just like you do. Of course he responds to that with "I never make mistakes. I'm perfect." Really?
