So my 15 year old niece is living with us until Friday. That'll have been 2 weeks. Ugh.
My sister asked me to take her so my sister could have a break from her daughter. I of course said yes and thought that it was really my niece who needed a break from her crazy mom.
Boy was I wrong.
I have afforded her all sorts of freedoms, liberties and trust. And all she really wants to do is crap all over me.
Like last night. I gave her permission to hang with her friends at Amy's house. When I called Amy to reach Niece, I was told that she wasn't there and that niece was with another friend. This is 10:30 p.m. I was furious that she lied about where she was going to be.
And to top it off, she didn't even have the consideration to apologize to me for lying. In fact she wouldn't even speak in the car when I picked her up. I drove 20 blocks before I told her that I expected an apology.
Friday can't come soon enough.

We have three teens and we often wonder what keeps us from turning into those people who slay their family and then themselves! LOL They don't even think of it as telling a lie...they just went somewhere else and why are you getting your undies in a bunch over it.
Have fun when your two get just a bit older! :)
Ouch.
The thing that gets me about sullen teenagers is that our trust and best intentions are taken advantage of.

Come on Friday, come on Friday, come on Friday.
You've been tagged, hon.
