So, like I said yesterday, I asked the girls to clean their bedroom, but when I went to check an hour later on what they 'supposedly' had done. Only one had even attempted to clean, the other sister was on the phone with friends, as if I had never asked her to do anything. When I addressed the issue, she caught an attitude.
Oh no she didn't, you're thinking, cause I was surely thinking that. But, YES SHE DID! Speaking in my sternest voice I made her get off the phone and go clean. I went to the restroom and she still had not made a move. Lord, please help me not to strangle her. I had to confiscate the phone for the duration of the time she was cleaning the bedroom.
Today, today, today. I have been in training all week for my job and today I had my final exam. I was able to come home early and found my middle sister, who jumped up from the sofa at the sound of my entering the house, and her friend from school. WHAT!!! She's already failing in all her major subjects and she skips school. Yes, skips school facing repeating the 9th grade. What I felt was not anger...it was otherworldly. I could not shake it. I had to take a nap to rid myself of the anger.
I did address the issue with her and the other young person, who is a senior in high school. I told the young lady she should be setting the example. She's about to graduate and she skips school with my sister. Come on. And my gulllible sister. So gullible. OMG!!!
So now she's punished. She has dish duty for two weeks. And she has to define words in the dictionary every day after school for 30 days. I promised I would not 'snitch' on her because her father would KILL her, having just left here on Tuesday because of their shenanigans. (At least he shows up for that part!) But, if I catch her slipping in any wise, deal's off and the 'snitch' is on.
Needless to say...today was not a good day, neither was yesterday...maybe tomorrow will be!!
