We have beautiful weather here! I'm sitting outside on the patio with my dogs trying to relax. SD10 comes and stand literally 3 feet from me. She starts complaining that the dogs don't want to play with her. I don't blame them. Just ignore her. She is throwing a tennis ball around by herself. And still didn't get the hint. She is 10 and totally oblivious she just stepped in a pile of dog sh!t. I point it out to her. 
 

Me: pick up your right foot, do you not smell that?

SD10: what

me: you have dog poop all over your shoes! Leave them on the porch and don't wear them back in the house. They will need to be cleaned off. 
 

sd: it's not my fault. I'm not the one pooping in the yard.

me: you need to be careful and watch where you are walking. Also, don't play in the pine straw where they go. Just leave the shoes next to your dads.

sd: they're okay now, I just scrapped them off.

me: just please your shoes on the porch please.

sd: I'm not trying to talk back, I'm just saying it's not my fault

me: okay ____
 

SO ANNOYING and GROSS! One, she didn't even realize it. Two, she really would have worn them back in the house if I didn't catch it! Her attitude is awful and downright annoying. I am disengaged, but I'll be damned if her poop shoes are coming in the house. How does anyone else deal with the back talk when you HAVE to engage?
