It's all so wicked!

The spouse was not impressed that I took the Tweeny to Toronto to see a play. Wicked! It WAS Wicked. Went with friends. We are now planning another foray for the late winter, early spring. Phantom returns. Tweeny loooooooves Phantom. The music anyway. She has seen the movie, a pale imitation, but is beside herself with the thought of being back in the big city for another round of theatre. She was sick most of day two so anticipated trip to persuade mother to give it up at Abercrombie & Fitch (AS IF) for the $95 sweat pants, didn't materialize. Can you see me roll my eyes!

Upon arrival home, I see as usual,the kitchen is not tidied up. I have come to low expectations on this front. Rebel has her friend over. She sleeps over again. I have told Rebel that at her age sleep overs are a done deal. Adults go home to sleep. They don't stay over with friends because they are afraid to go home in case they are alone.

I do not know how I insist on this. It is frustrating.

Rebel tells me she had a party while we were away. At the party her dad partied with the kids and "man did he get drunk!" Sigh....

I have left a message for said Rebel on the previous website indicating my displeasure and disgust, frankly with her baviour. I have no idea how that will play out. I would like her to go live elsewhere. Perhaps I will have my wish once the spouse and I agree on terms.

She is a difficult young woman who believes she has a sense of entitlement. Where does that come from? Hard work is anathema. It will be a tough day when she realizes her charm will only get her so far, and that she must accept responsibility for who she is and how she behaves instead of blaming all around her. It reminds me too much of her father, who twists to suit his needs as well. And he continues to indulge her rather than using the tough love approach. I do not understand his way of thinking on this. I do not understand why he continues to allow her to behave as she does towards all of us.

On another note... It's Grey Cup Sunday!
