I'm just so sick of having to deal with my drama queen #2 daughter. For years it feels like the family has revolved to her needs, her wants, and her "issues". And I'm sick and tired and weary to the bone of the whole situation. Don't have favourites, they tell you that again and again. But I do, #1, 3rd year at university, takes up about 1% of the mental energy of #2. When #1 phones I'm pleased and I LIKE to hear her news. When #2 phones. 1st year at a different uni, I sit there just waiting for the latest crisis. Nothing is ever simple, straightforward or according to what was agreed before. She thinks that her dad and I have nothing better to do with our lives than sort out her mess. Sometimes I just want to scream down the phone at her to shut up and go away. Sort out your own problems.
