We've been working on giving G some more freedom and responsibility now that she's 9 and in 4th grade.

H went to go get the boys from daycare. He was picking up donuts on his run so it's maybe 20 minutes? Rules are: no phone and no opening the door. Nothing difficult.

When he got home she was OUTSIDE PLAYING WITH THE NEIGHBOR. why? She was bored.

She's going to be much more bored when she's grounded and missing pumpkin picking with the Girl Scouts. Fuck that.

Oooh, busted!



Can I have her donut?

But was not going outside part of the rules?

Eta: I guess it was since she had to open the door?

Sorry that sucks.

Maybe she'll be less bored in a foster home. **calls cps**

At least she was playing with other kids and not wandering around outside alone?? <---looking for a bright side.

I am literally LOL at this. 

My 7yo can't follow direction either. He's all "but this doesn't make sense and let me tell you why," or he'll keep doing the thing I told him not to and ask questions or explain later. I guess that figuring out workarounds will serve him well later in life, but it's annoying as shit right now.

you know what sucks? as i wasn't home when this all went down i asked her about it this morning. i said "do you know why you're not supposed to go out when we're not here?" and she listed every single reason. shit that i didn't even think of.

YOU'RE SMARTER THAN THIS! MAKE BETTER CHOICES!
