Your difficult child gives you lessons in detachment.
Aubrey's birthday has created another situation in transportation. Katie expects us to transport them up to dayton. Not going to happen for the same reasons as the reception. We're taking one car and easy child will not transport them due to how they didn't behave in her car during xmas. So I'm going to have to tell her it's either the two older kids or no one. That's all I can fit.
Nichole says to me, Mom why didn't you make HER ask easy child? hmmmm
Then katie contacts me this morning and says someone answered her freecycle ad for a bed and dresser and could we pick it up for her after 2pm. I will say this one irks the hades outta me to begin with. husband and I don't own a truck and there is no way on earth those would fit in the back of his kia The only one who owns a truck is easy child's husband
I happened to be chatting with Nichole when this message came in. So I relayed it to her.
Mom, she says, make her ask easy child. You can't transport it. And it's no fair you're getting caught in the middle of this transportation crud.
And I thought well crud, she's right. Then she pointed out that I've been caught in the middle of katie needing/wanting things from sibs.......asking me which puts me in the middle cuz that means I have to ask them for her. Enough of that crud. She can ask them herself.
So I mailed her back that her dad and I can't do it, that she'd have to ask easy child but her husband goes to work at that time.
I haven't told her about the birthday party, that will be this afternoon. I'm not eager to hear the whining and her trying to make me feel guilty over it. Not that I will, but I also am not eager to hear it either.
Pretty good though when my difficult child is pointing out when I need to step back and detach. lol
