Name-changed incase I'm flamed.
I have three children aged 10, 12 and 14. The 14 year old is extremely lazy and won't do ANYTHING that requires any effort. She's still in bed now (school closed due to snow) and will be until at least 12pm. Now and again when the youngest two are both home from school, they will go back out to shop and get themselves some sweets or something from the bakery. My 14 year old would NEVER walk down to the shop so hands them a list of what to get her. It really annoys me to be honest. There is no need for such lazyness. So yesterday my youngest two hatched up a plan to walk down to mcdonalds and buy themselves a meal deal for their lunch. My eldest catches wind of it and starts rummaging around for change to give them so they can bring hers back. God forbid SHE have to walk anywhere - especially in the snow so I told her anyone that wants a mcdonalds, can walk down to mcdonalds and buy themselves something. She immediately went off in a huff but still refused to go and went without. So the story she fed my husband when he came home was that I'd allowed the youngest two to have Mcdonalds for their lunch and not her. Husband takes her side, says I'm being petty and that it was wrong of me to allow the other two to "swan in" with mcdonalds and to have not brought her any back and apparantly its only common courtesy to ask anyone if they want anything bringing back if you're off to shop. Yes it is but I feel she is totally taking advantage. If she wants something, she should get off her arse and go and get it. She'd NEVER go out to shop and bring the other two something back.
So was I in the wrong?
