I've just sat my 12 & 14yr old dd on the stairs.

[longwaytogo]

They are driving me nuts. They can't look at each other without bitching and the final straw has just been when i gone to get ds chocolate out of fridge and it has just disappeared. No one's got it so until they can own up they can sit there.

Am I being childish? Fed up of things going missing and no one having them aghhhhhhhhh

choc would be last straw for me too. you make them sit there, if only to get a break from the bitching! Have a cup of tea, and no, you are not being childish. good luck

let them stay there.....show them your still boss, and they might sort their differences out whilst sat there..xx

thing is thier little bro just woke up had given him his lunch then told him there was chocolate, went to get it - gone. Neither have had it (what a surprise) They are now off the stairs but they were there about 45 mins and no I don't think they have sorted their differences out.

lol -

sorry they're driving you nuts - but good for you - going to make dd10 read this so she knows I am not the only mean mum around

do they get pocket money? i would make them go and buy him some more chocc...

No they don't get pocket money wish they did but always seems to be strugling to make ends meet let alone give them pocket money don't know how other people do it.

well mine are too young for it, and to be honest me and my brothers never got it...... and sending sympathy for "struggling to make ends meet" we are in the same boat.... im self employed and sometimes i get cash /cheque (which takes 3 days to clear, sometimes i dont get paid till my agent gets it.......no more wages for me this month..its so frustrating

life can be hard sometimes but you seem to be doing a great job with your kids, xx
