DAUGHTER FOR SALE
Any Takers?? She's 11. She's pushing me over the edge. We argue about something almost every day. We need to break this habit. I raise my voice because I'm trying to talk over her. She's yelling talking over my raised voice. I try to lay down the law. She says I don't listen. FUCK! We need to break this pattern. I'm creating a mini-me Bitch. And I just don't like it. I want her to be nice. I don't want her to be like me! hahahaa She flat out told me the other day she wants to be NOTHING like her mother. Boy have I got news for her! hahahaha
Here is where I digress...My other problem with her lately is that she doesn't want to change her clothes. If I didn't say a word, she'd wear the same pants, shirt & sweatshirt to school, to bed and to school the next day. It's so GROSS. This girl is not as fresh as a daisy, if you know what I mean. This is what we argued about this morning. She wore a sweatshirt she got out of the dirty laundry yesterday. When she got in the car, I almost puked from the stench. I have given up caring about her fashion style. We have different tastes and I let her choose her own style. But I have to draw a line when it comes to wearing things that smell like the inside of an armpit. She says she doesn't smell anything. And no one else around her smells it either. I told her that's because the entire 5th grade STINKS.
When do you draw the line? When do you let things go? How do keep a balance? How do you stop fighting with your kid? There needs to be some boundaries. I just don't know where to put them. Maybe I should just put them outside my bedroom door, lock it and get in bed. I'll have a talk with her first. Lay it down. Then I'm going to bed!
