I admit to a cranky moment today with my oldest. Yeah you have all heard it. I have not had time to implement the awesome idea of charging her some amount of rent and working that out because (if you read the personal finance section) I am being sued by the 2nd mortgage in my foreclosure and being threatened with being sued by their dad, and I truly cannot pay either one of them anywhere near the amount they want to be satisfied. I am not sleeping well. Maybe a BS excuse but it is still a reason.
I got canned soup for dinner, no one likes what I cook and I have a ton of work to do after work. My oldest came upstairs, did not speak to me when I got home, had the entire day off work and did not tell me if she did something, So I told her she could pay $2 for a can of soup or do a chore. She said she had started her broken down car to check the mileage to get rid of it. I said that she still needed to do something that affected the family or pay $2, taking care of her own car was not enough. Of course she asked what her brother had done, and then said I was supposed to tell her what to do, and all that.
Okay cranky but low stress on my end and possibly made a point. I can see the empty creamer container she left out on the counter as well.
