Why do these skids think we want to be around them?

Skid asked me if i can wake her up super early,  like when i wake up.  This was her exact question.  I asked her she said because she wants to make breakfast for everyone.  This seems like a sweet offer for sd to make, except for the fact that she SUUUUUUCKS at cleaning up after herself. Which means I'll have to be doing the cleaning, she suuuuuucks at cooking, which means I'll br doing most of the picking the egg shells out of the batter,  I'll be reminding her to flip the pancakes. She'll end up with a head ache, and get dizzy,  then I'll have to finish the whole thing,  instead of having a peaceful quiet morning. 

 

Besides when i wake up, it's time away from all the children, esp her. She's whiney, annoying, and can barely wipe her own butt with out assistance. Why would i want her up with me as soon as i wake up? Nobody even said anything about wanting pancakes,  she just assumes everyone wants what ever she makes them.

I had to tell SS not to get up before 9 after the summer vacation started. I must have at least half an hour. The horrible toad can't possibly go without food though so he gets up eats then has the cheek to put his lazy assed self back to bed!

He was getting up at 8 to do that so I banned him until 9. Most teenagers are in bed until midday and they don't need a breakfast break.

Show her how the alarm app works on her phone.  If she wants to do someting nice then she needs to put forth ALL the effort it takes, not just do it half ass.  Think of this as a life lesson in giving.  Explain everything she HAS to do to pull off the good feelings she wants to give everyone, including you.   Once she hears them all, she will sleep in.
