What Should I Do?
So I’ve been lazy, I guess. Not real lazy, I did stuff today. I tried on clothes to see if they fit or if I should give them to Value Village. Why the hell not – we’ve got to go over there to give them my old printer.
I decided to get rid of three pairs of pants. They’re old and I didn’t even wear them this year. One pair I’d only ever worn once or twice, but I’m thinking that they’re dated. Still in great shape, but I probably won’t wear them again.
Let me tell you about my daughter this weekend. Saturday I found that she’d eaten all the ice cream. We’d only had 4 bowls out of the gallon – at Easter dinner – and she ate the rest of it yesterday.
Not only that, but the big bag of chips that were in there were gone. The box of fat free creamsicles, which was unopened, now has only half left.
I’m not mentioning that on top of her eating all that crap, she also ate regular meals – one of them a combo at McDonald’s before piano. After having a word (or two) about it yesterday, what did I find today? Well we had an unopened can of cashews that were finished.
Not only that, but I had a box of special papers – certificates, wedding showers, you know – specially designed papers. I found the entire box of them in her piano bag.
She did not say, “mom, can I take some/all of those special papers to use at home?” She did not say a damned thing, just snuck them into her bag. She was stealing from me.
How did I know she was stealing stuff? At one point in the day she asked to go to the car to get her piano bag – because she wanted to practice. When she came back up with the bag, she took it into her bedroom. She didn’t go practice piano. So I looked in the bag.
Why is she stealing from me? WTF is wrong with her? What is with these fucking binges of junk food. I even asked her why she didn’t have just a bowl of ice cream, why eat a gallon of ice cream? WTF is up with the stealing.
Nothing makes me madder than somebody lying or cheating or deceiving me. I’m not so unreasonable that I would deny an 11-year-old a bowl of ice cream if she wanted one. Let’s not mention me offering everyone a Lindor last night, ya, she needed some chocolate after a day of non-stop eating.
I think she could live with a “no” if I said, “no, I want those special papers in case I ever need them”. This fucking thieving and sneaking is making me not want her here any more. My own daughter for fuck’s sake.
And I’ve told her before that if I find more garbage hidden around the house, she will not be allowed to come here any more. And yet last night, where did I find the wrappers from the creamsicles? Under the cushion on the leather chair. I paid $3000 for that furniture and it had goop from chocolate and creamsicles all stuck to the underside of the cushion.
After I spent my weekend buying her stuff and doing stuff for her, this fucking kid acts this way. I have no idea what I’m going to do about this. I’ve already taken her for counselling when she was younger. That didn’t do a fucking thing. What is the problem?

is the new 30. I want the world to close their mouths when they’re eating or chewing gum. If they don’t, I want to elbow them in the face.
I thought you died. lmfao.
