[QUOTE="Jena, post: 209258, member: 4514"] good afternoon :) I hope everyone got out there and voted today.... difficult child is staying up tonight she is soo manic ridden today due to election. For us it's not just holidays that trigger her. She's very politically minded. So, easy child that means (perfect child right) that's laughable right now. Can I come up with a new abbreviation?? please..... :) lol. So, here it goes. My easy child has been crossing the line alot lately with me. In house suspension week and a half ago. blah, blah. So, I firm up rules again, I do not engage, etc. do all the stuff. So, over weekend she was pmsing....she curses at me in the store while I am buying her a jacket. Why? Because as she put it she was crabby and pmsing said to me i was acting like a b*tch. So, this was after I purchased the coat. So, I sat her on a bench outside of food shopping that was next stop (it's indoors) and let her sit there while I bought food and got her on way out. Onto next incident. Last night we finished feeding all 5 kids. Little ones left table and boyfriend and i hung out with his eldest and mine, talking, etc. easy child started kicking up a bit with her mouth in regards to lunch money and joking how she spends it on hot choc all day and doesn't eat. I ofcourse said that's ridiculous, etc. Next thing I know she's discussing her cell phone with we;ll call his daughter A.
