This might be a bit rambly so please bare or is it bear with me LOL
So it is Emilys 10th Birthday on the 9th Oct and Jacks on the 4th
Being a mean mummy i am i had kind of decided not to do a party for Jack this year and let Emily have a party at home with a sleep over ( heaven help me) and do really girly things, a funked up pass the parcel and stuff, go all out to decorate the rooms etc..
Any one morning last week i mentioned it to her and said she could have 4 people to sleep, 1 on her futon and 3 on airbeds they would just about fir with a bit of rearranging, but guess what this wasn't good enough she wanted 5 to sleep over, she got the lip out when i said no and why etc.. and i must admit to getting rather riled and snapping at her, when that little blip was sorted she then said " well it will be rubbish with HIM here!!!" meaning Jack because she wouldn't be able to have music loud in her room etc after say 8 o'clock
Well that was it i flipped my lid on her and told her " if it wasn't for HIM not having a party you wouldn't be able to have one like this either"
Anyway to cut quite a long story a bit shorter i have cencelled it and am now not going to do anything for her to celebrate with her friends.
I feel that just lately she has zero respect for me and just expects to gob and gob at me with no consequences what so ever.
I do feel a bit guilty now but i'm not going to back down as to me that is basically saying yeah be a bitch and i'll be cross but i'll get over it
Do you think i have been too hard on her?
