Here we go again!
Mabye it's because we are both tired: me from driving for 5 hours to and from camp to pick up difficult child 1 today and dealing with difficult child 2's instability and easy child's impatience with difficult child 2, and difficult child 1 from a busy week at camp and having lost his voice. But dang if he hadn't been home just a few hours and he was managing to tick me off right and left tonight!
He's sarcastic, he's obnoxious, his behavior is inappropriate, he's annoying his sibs -- geeeeez! Enough already! I ask him if he's brushed his teeth and he nods his head yes (I KNOW HE HASN'T). Then I tell him I know that he hasn't and he starts complaining. SO I guess this is the time I just back off and stop being a "mom/nag" and just leave him alone. He's got two cavities and getting them filled next week... if it were me I'd be a little more concerned about dental hygiene, but apparently playing his gameboy is more important to him. So maybe natural consequences are in order? AAAARRRGGG!
And of course difficult child 2 is all over the place tonight and refusing to sleep in his own bed again -- lately he prefers the couch or the floor in my room -- some kind of weird anxiety about being in his room at night now. I just don't get it.
And poor easy child is still sleeping on her mattress on the LR floor 'cuz I can't manage to get her room painted in less than a week!!!
Okay, enough venting. I think tomorrow I need to get husband more involved with the bedtime stuff, 'cuz this three-against-one is just wearing me out. No wonder I'm on short fuse...
