Tonight we had a program at our church to go to. We took both kids (a requirement of their religious ed program). Usually the programs are very interesting. Tonight's was not, it was quite boring to listen to and that doesn't spell good things for difficult child. difficult child and husband sat in back of easy child and me (to lesson the chance of fighting). He had a difficult time and easy child didn't help by constantly turning around and staring at him.
We left early-to try and keep difficult child calm. He was touching every car in the parking lot, easy child was going nuts. I decided to put her in the front of the van and I would sit by difficult child. difficult child was furious and sat in the way back (fine by me). Of course, he was rude but I was just letting it run off my shoulders, easy child started yelling at him.
Then I had to run quickly into the grocery store. I asked easy child to come in with me while husband stayed in the car. She refused. husband said if she started in on difficult child no ice cream on the way home (ice cream was planned before we went). She handled it, we went through the McDonald's drive thru. easy child right away started in on the way difficult child was holding his ice cream cone-unbelievalbe, he, of course, was being rude back.
She got out of the van, slammed the door and is locked in her room. difficult child continued to be a pain for awhile but I think has fallen asleep. Poor husband was so upset because he tried to do something nice with the ice cream.
Just another fun night in the Wiped-Out household!
