[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 279844, member: 6546"] Heather-- Sounds like we had a similar evening.... In the evenings, I like to sit on the sofa with a drink and read a book or watch television. Yesterday, difficult child and DS decided to sit on the sofa and play cards. After a couple of hours, I asked them to please finish up their game and move because I wanted to watch TV. Silly me, I set my drink on the table and went to clean up the kitchen while I waited for them to clear out. After about 20 minutes, DS comes slinking in to the kitchen to grab a new fluffy towel from the drawer... Yup. Spilled my drink (soda) all over the table with its in-set glass top and was planning on just soaking it up with a brand new towel. AND to top it off, difficult child was still sitting there, playing cards AROUND the spill. I grabbed the paper towels and had to lift up the glass pieces to clean the soda that had gotten all underneath, I discovered new scratches in the wood of the table (naturally, nobody knows anything about the scratches)....so of course, I'm upset and difficult child is angry at me because I interrupted her card game!!! :angry: The Mom can never win. --DaisyF [/QUOTE]
