Poor girl. Her life is so hard lately. I don't know why she struggles so much, she cant just do what is asked of her, it is simple really. Do what your told, don't do things you know your not suppose to. Why does it need to be a fight every single day. I remember Kase going through a stage like this but this has been her for years. Stubborn. Trouble. Defiant. Unfortunately these are traits that both Justin and I carry. I don't know if this fight will go on with her forever. We spent the morning screaming, and I sent her to school with red puffy eyes. I really don't like to be the yelling , screaming parent but lets face it...it gets the job done a whole hell of a lot quicker when I do. This time she took all of her clean clothes and hid them in her dirty clothes...strike 15. She keeps doing it, and it got to the point that when confronted she would lie through her teeth and tell me the made up day she wore these clean clothes that I just wash and folded. All summer shes been on Landry duty, washing folding and putting away all of our clothes, yet that doesn't seem to matter. SHE STILL IS DOING IT! I have been patient, laught about it, yelled about, punished you name it, and she doesn't care!! So this morning after laying all of her clean clothes out, she was asked to put them all away. 45 mins and a few little power struggles later she is screaming in her head of in her room saying "I am so stupid! Why did I do that...nononononono." It breaks my heart. She is the hardest child, we clash all the time and honestly there are days when I think I really hate her. I don't know how to raise her, how to strear her in a good productive direction. I am just crossing my fingers and hoping she doesn't get knock up in high school and somehow we figure out how her brain works.
