DRAMA

We had a crazy weekend here...Saturday i shampooed carpets and was doing much needed deep cleaning all was quiet until Saturday night.Michael and I got certificates to go eat at Petes steakhouse and Linda threw a fit a bad one beause we wanted to go out without the kids.So all in all we ended up not going.But there were consicinces for this behavior.Michael and i NEED our Once a month date night and i wont give it up.But Linda wants to go to her friends on the weekend and we have reigned to it to almost a hault.Why should she be allowed to go all the time when mom and dad cant even have a few hours a month alone.
Then came Sunday...Michael was doing honey do jobs and i was washing curtains and hanging them back up when my 16 yr old came downstairs in a horrible bad mood when asked to do his chores.So drama began again he got so mad he called his dad and his dad called me and was not nice ugghhh.We did get it resolved.ANYONE have a manual for parenting teens?Cause God didnt supply me with one when they were born haha.The little ones are like what in the world are they throwing fits for?Its sad the 15 and 16 yr old are outta line and the 13 and 8 yr old are shaking their heads like look at those babies.I am hoping for a better week and that the talks we gave them has much improved some behaviors outta the oldest 2.Oh and also for bad behaviors,,,They got extra chores.Maybe this will curve the problem.
