Even my easy child doesn't get it. On Monday she told me that I needed to send her college an extra $115 to cover end of year costs which included her making up one test. Then, on Friday she started whining to me on IM about how she hates her cell phone, hates the plan, can't hear anything, I should buy her a new phone and she doesn't understand why it costs $175 to disconnect. I sat stunned for a moment and said: "Well, gee, maybe if I didn't just send my LAST $115 to cover the cost of your make up test, I'd have a few dollars left over to buy you a new state of the art chocolate cell phone and plan. " DUH. She signed off but not before IM-ing me "You don't get it mom!" And she's my easy child.
difficult child crashes her 5 speed car and then 4 days later asks to test drive easy child's 5 speed car. When I said no, she said I was mean and stormed upstair. Within 5 minutes she was back down to ask if I would take her clothes shopping?? WTH?
Hugs Sharon - I'm glad he's less physically violent with you. That's a positive.
