I have had them both in therapy for months now, in fact since the first time gfgd started her junk with the family. Thought it was best the girls had a sounding board outside the family where they could say what they had to without a mom reaction....horror, gasping...all that stuff you know
It's only been since xmas that it's ramped up around here....I even asked easy child#1 why she felt it was okay to call me names and not her dad and she said she wouldn't even think of calling him that because he would explode and all I do is take away the computer!! :rolleyes:
I sat both of them down and told them being treated this way isn't right and will stop....I said they need to earn any privleges they want...computer, tv, time out with friends, extra $...I also told them they will get a base allowance of $5 a week but anything more than that is earned....but will deduct each time they are rude and ignorant to me...especially being called a liar and told I am useless.
They've both been told the trip will be cancelled and I will stop allowances until the money I lose is paid back if they treat me the way they did this week....just the thought of losing that money makes me sick :ill:
Late last night I heard some pretty nasty muttering between the two of them in their room so maybe they realize they've just pushed mom too far this time.
I don't want to be a heavy but I also don't want to be their friend...I am their mom and due respect and decent treatment for that alone...

ps as for the laundry, I have to do it because the washer timer is shot and the machine keeps filling up unless someone watches it closely...need to fix it but it's too much money right now.. :slap:
