sorry about Chase, Cristina. Maybe w/ Josh home and in the house on a regular basis now he will bring a firmer hand. I am no sure what the story is w/ Char but I know a lot of single parents indulge alittle too much, I know I do. I know my Hawaii man did .....omg! When I was there the 1st time we snuck off by ourselves for a itty bitty bit and his son kept calling us (on his own cell phone and he was 9 at the time) Hawaii Man wouldn't answer his phone after the 3rd time (son was calling w/ a request for a new fishing pole and he already had several) the son called my cell next and I didn't answer but son left a message saying "answer, you dummies".....I was so shocked and even more so because Hawaii Man didn't make the son apologize and the grandmother ended up buying the kid a fishing pole the next day.
I hope that makes sense, I have several stories on that spolied child. lol
anyway - being a single parent doesn't excuse rude children.
Taking a rest, almost all packed. I can't do much more or I will be digging back in the boxes looking for stuff...like clothes and kitchenware, so I will pack that stuff on Saturday. Gab has helped packing her toys but I dug Bob the Builder back out and tossed it and some others that she hasn't played w/ for years.
anyway, just feel a little depressed about the whole thing, maybe I am just getting tired??
k-
hope you all are having a good day!
She does try to discipline but she is always sending them mixed messages and I talked with Josh about that. She will put them in time out for something so stupid because she is having a bad day and when they do something bad she does nothing. She also will tell Cambrie to beat up Chase and then when she gets hurt she gets onto Chase. He is too old to be rough housing with a 4-year-old and that is another thing...he hits on her all the time and makes her cry and on and on. It's just all messed up but again, I am hoping with Josh there things will change. If they want to bring him over here it better. I think the kid is the spawn of satan 
The funny thing is I don't necessarily have any rules, lol. I think it's just basically common sense stuff...you go to someone's house you respect it and them. He will just push the envelope about anything and this wasn't the first time but it sure was the last. Anyway...aaahhhh, don't get depressed 
Honestly, I thought I would have given in and got something by now, lol. I was so close to doing so this morning. I was running late and only had a banana and some water before leaving so I was starving! I needed a diet coke too! I went straight home though, and had a salisbury steak and mac & cheese froz dinner...the WW ones, can't remember what they are called. They are pretty good, and enough food for me so... I was wanting some meat of some kind and this did it for me. I'll have a snack of cheese & wheat thins and an apple a little later since I missed breakfast. Okay, blah, blah, blah
