Every morning seems to get harder and harder.
I feel like I'm getting walked all over - by a 10 year old!
I tell her time and time again, PLEASE PLEASE get your things ready for school. She walks away for 20 minutes, come back, and tells me she did it. I trust her, or I peek in, see her back pack on top of school stuff, and assume its all there.
This morning, she is getting ready...
no boots
no gloves
no scarf
no hat
She had 4 pairs of gloves
she has 2 pairs of boots (one was missing, the other was wet from snow yesterday)
no scarf (she has 2 and a home made one)
no hat (again, three, two home made)
Then, I told her all day yesterday, go get your clothes from the dryer. She kept saying, "ok, ok, ok" But yet, this morning, she leaves in 20* weather wearing leggings and a skort. Why? Because her school clothes are dirty on the bathroom floor, and any school clothes that ARE clean are still in the dryer.
At what age do I make her suffer for not taking care of her responsibilities??
