So, the 17 year returned yesterday, after spending the holidays in Texas. Oh, did she bring a buttload of attitude back with her. She's been this way since Auagust, and it became considerably worse when we got here in October. It's going on a 5 month temper tantrum and mommy dearest has reached her point of no return. Abigail was soooo looking forward to her sister's return last night, only to have Miss Thang get off the plane in a very foul mood. She didn't want to open her presents, much to Abby's disappointment, for she had choosen a present especially for her big sis, she didn't even want to be home. She went to her friends instead. When she returned this morning, not any better then last night, I had had enough. I told her she needed to get herself straight or there were going to be some consequences as I was done with it. I'm done doing things for her, period. This includes, and by no means limited to, buying her acne medication, her favorite snacks, rides to the bus stop on cold blistery mornings, anything that I do that is above and beyond the call of "mommydome" I'm done with. Not only that, I'm seriously considering NOT allowing her to go to Texas this summer. She can spend her summer here, working. Here I was, planning how to decorate her new room when we move in the new house in February. Nope, I think not. She can have the same old crap and I will just decorate Abby's and Fifi's, who have been troopers through this whole ordeal. Can you tell I'm fed up?
