So now I'm just frustrated at the world, which means I'm spilling out on the other skids and my DW. This is not good at all. I have to find a way to get the frustration out because the others don't deserve it. Unfortunately, not much I can do about the brat (15SD), no matter what tone you take with her it's the same answer, rudeness on top of disrespect.

At least the girls went out with their friend to the movies today, lucky them, they got out of the house. The 15SD is such a pest that we can't even go out as a family, because she's so rude at home, you think we want to risk that in public? Who knows what she'll say or do.

Don't trust her to leave her at home alone, so what do we do? We stay in, all of us punished because she doesn't have any manners. And then on top of it all she complains that we never do anything, that it's boring here. We explain to her that it's because of her attitude, that if she's so rude with us at home, how can we expect her to be polite in public? Of course, she swears it will be different (as she always does), but in the same rude way as she always does, and accuses us of never trusting her.

Yeah, like we should trust her. Five days now she's been here and four major fights. No way I'm taking the hellion out in public.

Argh. Gotta stop taking it out on the others. Right now, even little things that I could handle super well before are driving me nuts.

Hope everyone else is surviving their holidays.
