I'm done. SD10 is in her room, and SD6 and I are waiting on DH to get home. Not doing it anymore. SD10 for the most part has been pretty good all week, until today. DH told her last night if she got her chores done, she could go to work with him this morning. Well, DH got ready for work, and SD10 didn't have her chores done (No shock there) and DH told her "nope, you didn't do your chores, your not going" and left for work. (thanks DH :?

At this point, I am CONVINCED that the ONLY thought that runs the SD10s head is "duuuhhhhh I can play stupid and I will get out of doing my chores and no longer be in trouble for not doing them last week and I LIKE being in trouble" Serisouly? This child can take the simplest task and make it into an all out production. DH told her to get dressed and it took her 30 minuets to put on a pair of shorts and a T-shirt.

OK, SD10 is already in trouble for not "feeling" like doing her chores, now, she is sitting, doing nothing and I hear "crunch crunch crunch" so, i ask her what shes chewing on. "My nails." UGH! This child will put ANYTHING in her mouth! beads, paper, paperclips, change and chew on it. DRIVES ME INSANE! SHe has been warned by her dentist, her dad and me to STOP doing it and she wont! She does not care that she is screwing up her teeth, let alone if she swallows the beads, money, or whatever. But the nail biting, oh HELL no.

HA! Okay, today started out decent, the SDs weren't fighting like they usually do on the weekends, we all went with DH to run a few errands, yadda yadda yadda. Well........ we get home, and lo and behold! SD10 had told us that her chores were done. I had to call Bullsh*t on THAT one. so, I asked her WHY the dishes hadn't been done in 4 (Yes 4) days. her response? " I didn't FEEL like it." REALLY? I don't really give a damn what you FEEL like doing. (I told her to get them done, at 10:20 at night mind you. More on that in a minuet).
