MY Brat DD7

Today is a bit different in that I am not discussing a step or a mentally impaired BM. I am talking about my own brat DD7.

Today is the book fair at school and I told DD7 to pick out one book that she wants to get and I would send money in for the book today it was $4.99. I was pulling money out of DH's pants pockets this am and I noticed that there was a 10 dollar bill so I decided that I would let her pick out two books. When I told her this morning that I gave her extra money for books I didn't get a thank you all I got was an attitude about not having the pants she wanted to wear today to school clean. I then asked her to let the dog outside (fenced in back yard all she has to do is open the door and wait for her to do her business) and she told me no.

I told her no book money today and that she needs to treat people better when they are doing something nice. I then leave for work with the sounds of crying echoing from her bedroom.

I got a call from DH-Why was DD7 acting like the world has ended and she is blabbering about a book. I explain to him what happened and not to give her any money. He says to me "oops, I just sent her on the bus with a 10." Needless to say DH knows he was used and is not too happy about it.

Uggh! My own kid is a manipulative little crapper.

Extra chores tonight!! My base boards need to be dusted.

Call the school and ask the teacher not to let her go to the book fair. If she already has, I'd donate the books to the school.

Book fairs are evil! Ha. BD8 had a book fair, I took her, she picked out two books, we ring them up, I pay, walk to the car, get in, nothing. The kid has not thanked me. I sit there waiting, she asks what is going on, I bring up the concept of gratitude and she get lippy with me! I confiscated both of the books she got.
