This week I found 2 reasons to run as fast as I can to a Dr who can tie my tubes--hell, I'm gonna ask the Dr to take them out just to be sure.
Sure they may look sweet and innocent, but a day with them tops a day in the deepest, darkest, hottest layer of hell. They're textbook divorce kids. They live with mom and see dad periodically. I can't speak for how they are with mom or how mom is with them, but all the fury of hell breaks loose when they're with dad. He found out he was going to get them for the week last minute, and because he just took time off work, he decided to have me watch them while he's at work instead of missing the opportunity to see them. But because he doesn't see them much he feels the need to let them do whatever they want whenever they want. He buys them toys nearly daily to fill the hole in his heart, and he never NEVER says no.
And then I arrive.
I am pretty easy going with kids and typically let them get away with a bit more than their parents do (or at least should) within reason. But everytime I'm there its apparent that they've never been forced to do anything they didn't want to do. Example: This morning little Miss Lucifer herself didn't want to brush her teeth. Both her and her brother informed me that dad doesn't make them brush their teeth in the morning, but while dad is perfectly ok with letting them have stinky breath and letting their teeth rot, I am not. So I inform her that whether she wants to or not she has to brush her teeth. This sends her into her first of many raging tantrums for the day. She screams, she bangs the floor, she throws anything near her, she punches me and spits on me, and this is all typical Miss Lucifer. So, kicking and screaming, I held her down and brushed her teeth. When I later informed her father of the incident, he told me not to bother with anything if she was going to get upset about it. He said that I can let things like teeth slide. WHAT?!? So if she grows older and murders a friend who took her toy and in the discipline process she screams its ok? Because thats the message you're sending her. He silently tells her and her equally obnoxious brother daily that if they throw a screaming fit they will get their way. PS- He took her to the toy store later on in the day despite reports of near constant tantrums.
Goodness gracious I can't stand crappy parents. I mean really, this child is only 2. Her insane actions aren't because she is inherently bad. She has learned these behaviors through shitty parenting. Too bad.
Well you've been warned. If you see these kids out and about, RUN.
