There are days when I feel that as a parent I am failing miserably. Today is one of those days. Chickie wanted to go home with a friend. I said no and all hell broke loose. She threw at fit in front of this friend. Said some pretty nasty things. Even posted something about me on her facebook which set me off.
I layed the law with her. She WILL respect me whether she likes it or not. I realize she was mad but that is no excuse to say and do the things she was doing. I have had it and will not live like this with her anymore. She is a perfect angel until she is told no. I have heard that Tim Russert told his son that he will always be loved but never entitled. I want to adopt this policy. I want her to see that she can disagree with, even not like what she is told but it ends there. She is not entitled to get in my face or question my decisions.
I was thrilled that Jeff backed me up. HE, not me, told her that marching band would be no more if she didnt change her attitude. Right now, she has lost her phone but has been warned that other things will go if there are not permanent changes.
