After a week of SD7 being here, we are finally free!

Highlights of the week... two HUGE meltdowns after dinner about having to do her homework. One started with me, ended with DW. The other was done with DW the entire time. I haven't seen her like that in a long time - she didn't want to do the work to the point where she was saying "my ears hurt" or "I'm still hungry.." Really any excuse she could fine. But DW wasn't having it, that type of behavior might fly at her BD's house, but not ours. Scream and crying, foaming at the mouth... great behavior for a 7 year old.

Then there was the NEAR CONSTANT COMPLAINING. Nothing is ever good for this child. If anyone in the house does something that doesn't revolve around her, she complains for an hour straight. We have to go grocery shopping? Bitch and moan for an hour, then bitch and moan at the store, run into things on the shelf, keeping picking things up after repeatedly being told not to...

Then there is the getting her brother in trouble. BS3 hits, we know this and we are trying to stop it. Of course SD7 eggs him on... rolls up in a ball chanting "you can't hit me" or "don't hit me" over and over again. Of course a 3 year old is going to hit when someone does that. Then she gets hit and goes running to Mommy. DW ALWAYS takes her side... never is there any punishment doled out to SD7 for instigating.

Then there was the pestering about the Bday party she wasn't allowed to go to because of her poor behavior. Nearly constant "Did I earn the party back?" OR "Can I go to the party now?" No, your behavior was so piss poor that you do not get a treat... of course then she is allowed to go play in the pool by DW, so essentially she doesn't get punished. This is INFURIATING!

Well, now that I have that off my chest, at least she is gone now.
