Have you ever felt like you've exasperated all options? Like you have nothing left to give? Well, that's me everyday. Everyday a kid or two will constantly ask for something. Now, this isn't your ordinary something. This is your $300.00 something. They will drive you crazy and talk about it all day and all night long until they drive you crazy enough to get it (that's their plan). Even though they're completely spoiled and eventually get what they want. They still want more. They will try every initiative to get what they want. "My friend has one". "My friends Mom got that for him". "I need it because it'll make me do better". After all of the annoying begging and pleading , soon enough it's something else. IT JUST NEVER STOPS. They try guilting you, making you think you're a bad parent, every possible tactic known to man. What they don't know, is that I know all of the tactics. HA HA HA.
Now, here's my theory on the whole thing. I don't care. That's it. I just don't care. I believe in an earning system and nothing is ever free. You have things to do (chores) and if you're old enough, a job. I don't know why they think they're so damned slick, but the day I listen to a kid and allow them to guilt me into anything, now that'll be the day ( their father maybe).
Aww, my poor baby birds want some more..
