This weekend we went to a wedding in Michigan. My niece was married and it was beautiful. The reception went really well for difficult child. We let him take his medications late so he could enjoy the evening (otherwise he would have been asleep by 7:00).
On the way home easy child/difficult child started an argument with difficult child. First she started arguing about the temperature in the car. She didn't want the windows down or the ac on (it was very warm but she wasn't). Next she started arguing about the volume of the music. If we put it up front we need to put it a little louder so he can hear and if it's in the back she claims it's too loud (she is back by the speaker). The whole point of this is she was definitely trying to get a rise out of difficult child. Finally difficult child started yelling back at her. Then she started kicking him and he was trying to hit her (can't say I blame him at that point). So here is me, in my dress, crawling into the back seat of the van (husband was driving) so that I could get between them.
She seemed to be doing so much maturing recently. Sigh.... at 18 she is way too old for this. On our next trip to Michigan she is staying home-has to work-thank goodness!
