total - i totally (see what i did there) see you as one of us - i am so sorry you feel like you are gate crashing. You are not, not at all
And as trills says, your name will always be synonomous (sp?) with our thread
Junior just came crashing downstairs, panicking that we had forgot wednesday was her bowling night with her youth club. I explained that i hadnt forgot, but that until she learned to obey the rules, she wouldnt be going to her club. But now i feel like a bitch - it is the only bit of social life she has
I can make allowances for her for some things, but when she keeps doing the same things over and over again - and being sneaky about it in the meantime, i am at a loss as to what else to do. Shouting, discussing, threatening, cojolling(sp?) doesnt seem to work. For example, she knows the rule on a morning is no tele/laptop/music etc until she is all dressed, hair/teeth brushed, bag ready etc. But every morning it is the same
I cant take the tele off her, as mini goes in there to watch cbeebies for half an hour during the afternoon - mainly to give me some peace
I said to junior i hate the fact that we seem to have lost our friendship, as i seem to be doing is punishing her for stupid little things And dont get me started on the attitude i get back
