Just once I'd like to
~just once I'd like to ask her to take out the trash and not have her roll her eyes or forget so I or dh have to do it anyway.
~Just once I'd like to find that she's already given her rat food and water without being asked
~just once I'd like to see her take out her trash in her room and under the bathroom sink without being reminded twice
~just once I'd like to see her offer to fold her clean clothes in the dryer
~just once I'd like to have her OFFER to watch her siblings so I don't have to drag them to the store in the 100 degree heat when she's just laying on her bed talking on the phone
~Just once I'd like her to smile and say yes when I ask her to do something for me.
~Just once I wish she'd talk to her siblings like we talk to them - and to her - with love vs with annoyance
~Just once it would be really nice for her to at least consider learning to ride the bus instead of expecting us to drive her everywhere all the time.
or God forbid she should actually study for and PASS the permit test so we could teach her to drive.
~Just once this month I'd like her to acknowledge the fact that until she gets the grade from Chemistry up from an F to at least a C that she will not be
a. getting a new job
b. going to the mall or out with friends
c. joining the music teen worship group at church
and that its her own fault, not us being mean.
~Just once in a while it would be nice if she'd do something with her brother and/or sister to play with them instead of constantly sulking cuz we're so mean to her.
and honestly? Just once in a while it would be really nice for her to recognize that we have feelings too and she hurts them quite often with her attitude.
thank you for the vent. I know - she's 16.
Tomorrow might be a better day.
