Work day for me today, translation - Grandparent day.
Mom took the kids for a longer today then normal, Sean is taking a course - a gun coarse (whole other story).
So the kids are usually picked up by Sean when I work, they get the benefit of a Grandma cooked dinner and all the "rules" that go along with those wonderful meals! Here I am heading out there, later then usual...expecting to pick them up and go. Well mom had made a wonderful late meal for us to all enjoy - FISH. We as a Laidley clan are not fish eaters. I have personally never enjoyed fish, Sean either. This said the kids simply do not eat it.
Anyone who knows my Mom Dee knows you eat what is on your plate and you like it! Olivia is greatly opposed to this rule.
Olivia - "I DON'T EAT FISH"
Dee - "You will eat all the fish on your plate or you stay over, I'll drive you home in the morning after you have finished it"
Olivia - Tears.....
Wow is she stubborn! and I know where she gets it from! 4 plus generations of stubborn, hard headed women in my family. Yes Mom I'm talking about you, Nana and yes I'll admit it...myself!
You know those moments when you are a child, refusing to do what your parent asks you to do? Then they say "I hope you have a child just like yourself when you grow up!" Well that time has come. Olivia is my "mini-me" complete with her own opinions, stubborn personality and chaotic bedroom.
Oh wish me luck, and did I mention she's only 6?
Ooooh Sheri, you're in for it. You could have at least attempted my thoughts for the future for making Rowan eat something I don't like..."mommy's allergic to it"
