Saturday morning and here we go, again. Instead of having a nice family day out at the Festival Japonais, we are now faced with the choice of dragging our pre-teen with us (where she will be miserable for the rest of day) or leaving her at home (where we won't have to deal with her misery but she will think she's won whatever quirky little battle of wills she's engaged in).
Sometimes I just don't know what to do or how to respond. Do we ignore or do we engage?
So now, we are all in our respective corners trying not to engage so we don't make things worse... In the meantime, she's still dressed like Nanuk of the North when it is 30 degrees outside. I get that it is a control issue, but sometimes I just wish she'd understand that we are not trying to run her life. Sometimes we actually know what we are talking about!!!
Til next time.
