[QUOTE="Big Bad Kitty, post: 161704, member: 3647"] You guys, I'm just ready to explode. No swimming again today; weather is not cooperating. When Tink woke up, she sweetly asked if there was something we could do if the weather did not improve. We looked online for movies and the prices & hours for the local Children's museum. I said that if we get the house picked up, we cold do both, and if she did not give me any grief, we'd invite a friend along. First she started to whine about picking up the house. I told her that I would not put up with it. She could not understand why we couldn't go RIGHT NOW. Hello? 8:30 AM? She did good as far as putting away laundry and watering her plants. Then she said "If katie can't come, I don't want to go". OK, I tell her, than what would you like to do? She yells, "YOU ONLY GAVE ME TWO CHOICES!!" (movie & museum). SO I try to get it across to her that those are 2 choices she did not have this morning. 2 is better than nothing. Nope, mom, just 2 choices is not fair. She either really does not get it, or is just that manipulative. I go online and show her pictured of kids in 3rd world countries. Bamboo shack and no running water, no oven, no food, no toys, you get the picture. She says "Stop showing me that, or I will leave, because you are just trying to make me feel like I am being mean!" I tell her that I am just trying to show her that there are kids way worse off than her. "SO? You still only gave me two choices!" Not a lick of empathy. None. And she is not on the spectrum. Her psychiatrist suggested some volunteer work might help her. She wants to know if she will get paid. I'm sounding like she is a monster. I want my little girl. [/QUOTE]
