DH is on the way home with the 2 SD's... they'll be here until Sunday. We've had them every weekend this month because mom has been 'busy'. We usually have them every other weekend, so it's been an adjustment this month. They aren't bad kids, we all get along for the most part. The issue I have is, the oldest (11) is very overbearing when it comes to me and thinks she can be the boss. She hangs all over me when we are walking in stores (like has to have her arm around me, not sure why) like she doesn't understand personal space?? and ALWAYS ask me to buy her something, no matter what store we are in. I tell her no every time and not to ask, but she still does. The youngest is 5 and she and I get along great - they have much different personalities (albeit there is a 6 year age difference but they really are different people).

Anyway, just needed to vent real quick. I'm planning on cooking for Thanksgiving tomorrow and I'm sure little miss will try to take over and tell me how to cook, which she does all of the time. I try to put her in her place in a nice way, but it doesn't seem to make a difference.

Happy Thanksgiving all...
